Alright now prepare:

A time traveler baked a pie using oranges from a tree that is 251 years old.
Then he went back 250 years, and smashed the pie into the face of a fat guy
A child laughed at that, and the fat guy threw the child, the child accidentally flew into the tree when it was young, therefore making it impossible to bake the pie in the future although the pie is required to break the tree

What happens?

i think that nothing would happen because the fruit is just atoms rearranged in specific ways. either new matter is brought in the past or the atoms that would make up the fruit would be taken out of whatever state they were in, and then make the pie.

The real paradox is:

How did an orange tree survive 251 years?

Something else that I should add, the time traveler must go back in time and do this because it already happened

Varient on the Grandfather Paradox, quite a few different authors have gotten works out of varying ideas about what would happen…

Divergence of world lines within a multiverse plenum seems a favorite.

Only… the time traveler thought it was the same tree but really a new tree was put it that spot and the oranges came from the new tree. Also wut is orange pie…?

A pie made of oranges.

If apple pie exists, and is made of apple, orange pie exists and is made of oranges

I read "oranges" as "organs" for some odd reason.
