    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

        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.

            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.

        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.
