Ah, temporal slingshots.
Ending up in yesterday can have some problems with deja vu.

"Ending up in yesterday can have some problems with deja vu."

Conceptually, the problems in time travel can be described this way:

Picture in front of you a generous plate of sphaghetti. Now grasp the end of one strand and slowly draw it from the pile without disturbing the rest of them.

Fairly easy, right?

Time travel is like putting it back in.
