time machine

I remember a theologian who joked that time-travel makes the existence of hell a reality. He gave the example of a time traveller, who seconds before being sent back in time, accidentally sets himself on fire and burns himself, which unfortunately triggers the time-machine to send him back only a few seconds instead of years in time, only for the exact same thing to happen. Thus, the time-traveller remains in an infinite regress of incineration.
