Is there an actual term?

There's a name for it where it's a... It sounds like a porn.

A paradox where... So it's like the theory is you're standing on the beach and all of a sudden a book falls and hits you in the head.

And you pick the book up and you're like, where did this book come from?

It could be, but here's... So the idea is this.

You're standing on a beach, all of a sudden a book hits you in the head.

You pick the book up and you go...

Where did this book come from?

You get angry and you chuck the book.

It flies in the air and then goes through a rip in the time-space continuum and is gone.

You're like, weird.

And then it goes back in time and falls and hits you in the head.

So the book never has a point of origin.

There's a name for this.

I forgot what it's called.

It could just be The Grandfather Paradox.

It's called the bootstrap paradox, where an item has no original source.

An object is sent back in time, then the person takes the object, and then later on sends it back in time.

Or it could be a song, like someone hears a song from the future, and then in the future plays the song

Or, like in Bioshock Infinite, you open a rip in the time-space continuum and listen to songs from other dimensions and then record them and release them in your own dimension.
