"Einstein-Rosen bridge," you began. "Hypothetical shortcut connecting two points in spacetime. A wormhole, if you will."

Eddie ran a hand down his face, his hand over his mouth muffling your name as he tried to get you to stop.

"No, listen to me," you went on. "One end is virtually perceived as 'younger' than the other end and traveling through it can send you back in time. A closed timelike curve. A loop in time."

Eddie stared at you with his mouth agape.

You had officially lost it.

"You learn how someone dies," you explained. "You go back in time through the wormhole and try to prevent it. But, now that's contradictory, right?" you asked. "Because if I succeeded, why'd I go back?"

"I?" Eddie asked.

You faltered. "I mean, you, or we, or whoever."

Eddie sighed. "It's late, we should-"

"No, answer my question, please," you practically begged. "It's simple, really."

Eddie narrowed his eyes at you. "This is not simple subject matter, actually," he sassed, earning a glare from you. "And, besides, I don't understand your question."

You groaned. "Okay, listen up." He nodded. "You time travel back in time to prevent a death. But, if you prevent that death, then...you prevented the death, so why go back? In that timeline, the death is prevented, so you don't need to go back, yet you did. What then?"

Eddie shut his eyes and stroked his chin. "Uhhh...okay...." he trailed off, beginning to understand what you were getting at. "That's like uh- that would be a time paradox, right? Grandfather paradox."
