Abstract

Introducing his Chronology Protection Conjecture Stephen Hawking said that it seems that there exists a Chronology Protection Agency making the Universe safe for historians. Without taking sides about such a conjecture we show that the Chronology Protection Agency is not necessary in order to make the Universe unsafe for historians but safe for logicians.
