Fatalities
gollark: Receive solution from the future, check if it's correct, if it is then send it back so it's received.
gollark: For problems which are easy to check and hard to solve.
gollark: If time travel requires "fixed history", then you can use the universe's built in paradox resolver magic thing to either do your computation for you, or cause bizarre failure modes.
gollark: Actually, it's even better.
gollark: Different parts of it will be simulated at different times, but that's not detectable since the simulation of it outputs the same stuff.
