In panel 2, the dude has a pizza in his/her hand, and he/she has time to say "Now I have a free snack!" You don't think the temperature of the pizza would drop by even 0.1 degrees in that time?
If this object is permanently warmer than its surroundings, surely it can be used as a means to generate energy.
No, my whole point is that since it can't cool down without temporal paradox, it has to already have room temperature and be already cold
I would argue that there are infinite timelines of a room temperature "pizza slice" in various stages of decay, and eventually new reactions in the final two panels. If it reach room temperature, which it must, there is bacteria on that 'za.
(Edited for brevity)
So from the perspective of the pizza slice, it travels thru time and creates new timelines on the way, allowing even for different reactions from the people, for example once it's mouldy, they won't want it anymore and it stays in one timeline where it will rot eventually.
But: how did it start? I tried to avoid that question but making it timeless with no beginning and end, and no change to it what so ever, which comes with problems on their own. But giving it time, you also have to give it a start. I'm even fine with no end but you need a start. How hot was it in the first iteration?
There's no way to avoid a temporal paradox. Will the dude in panel 3 be able to smell the pizza? If so, there are microscopic particles from the pizza being emitted into the air. That means that by the time the pizza reaches panel 4, it won't be the same pizza that was brought into panel 2.
I guess that puts my crumble argument to the next logical step
Yeah, even if it's a pizza enclosed in diamond so nothing can escape, surely they're putting fingerprints on it by handling it, so it will change from cycle to cycle.
