They keep sending obejcts forward and backward in time. One day, they decide that, later in the day, they will send an object to, say, noon. It shows up at noon. Later in the day, when they are supposed to send the object back to noon, they decide to see what happens if they do nothing.

The universe ends.

I just hope these quantum computer guys know what they’re doing!
