If an object traveled back in time, wouldn't it in essence be creating mass & energy in the space & time it traveled back to? Assuming there is a finite amount of both in the universe, then there would then be that finite amount plus whatever traveled back. In fact, the mass of the object that traveled back would be made up of molecules that already existed in the time the object traveled back to, so the same mass would have to be in two different places at the same time. Wouldn't that break some other law of physics? I watched an eisode of SG-1 where the folks went back to 1969 and got to thinking about this.
