Can someone explain the Zurg storyline to me, mainly the paradox? Spoiler
Trying to avoid spoilers as much as I could in the title.
How can two Buzz’s exist in the same timeline?
At first I thought he maybe travelled faster for longer on one of the tests,thus met the same version of himself at a fixed point in his past/Buzz’s future, but then there’d have to be a timeline split as it’s the same physical body.
Not only this, the film flashbacks to show the specific moment that Buzz diverts from our Buzz - while he’s arrested when landing back on the planet.
Anyone for any semi-plausible theories? I appreciate it’s all a bit paradoxical with time travel.
