Thank you for giving me a good laugh today! Hmmm... if given through artifice or divinely imparted ability, of what would the other main characters speak upon?
6300923 I wouldnt be surprised if pinkie actually did that.
Does an illogical physics breaking proof proove the non existance of illogical physics breaking proof?
The only thing that makes sence for teh many worlds idea, isnt that you create a new world, reality with each decision, as where does the infinite amount of energy come from? the best explanation Ive found, thanks to Douglas Adams, is that all possible realities occur all teh time, we just select which one we are in depending on our interactions with all other realities at any instance.
Something for Twilight to read, by one of the Ancient Greats. Pinkies Drinkies.
I don't know if I was distracted when reading the original or if Fimfiction formatting is just friendlier for this sort of thing, but Twilight's plan is much clearer to me in this version.
In any case, looks like the universe really does have paradox protection in place. At least, for silly ponies who try to break causality. Well, most silly ponies.
Just as fun as the Writeoff version, if not more so.

6304102 The writeoff version really suffered from the pruning needed to get it down to 750 words. Sometimes just a few extra words can make a big difference to clarity.
Apparent time travel as actually cross dimensional travel? That's not a bad explanation, it nicely deals with some (maybe even all) of the paradoxes.
Poor Rarity, it apparently doesn't pay to be a magic user who is friends with another magic user who likes to dream up experiments.
Hahaha, I like it.
Another pretty good theory. It has the benefit of being true right up until it's not, and if it isn't you'll never actually know.
Wonderful story, that was clever.
Haaaaaaa, oh that was nice.
Temporal Causality: 2
Twilight Sparkle: 0
It was such a simple controlled experiment. Nothing ever goes right.
Cue next August:
You maniacs! You puffed them up! Darn you! Celestia darn you all to Tartarus! 
I have a feeling that Rarity really won't appreciate the irony half a year later.
Funny thing is they could still prove it's an alternate universe or maybe just cause a paradox if rarity decided to just go ahead and wait 2 minutes and then travel back. The spell can only be used once per pony so that would totally disprove it.
This is a remarkably simple thing to fix. The spell only works once for any given pony. So all Twilight has to do is get Rarity to use the spell sometime before next August and bingo! Logical impossibility.
Daring, you're going to become French!
............. *leaps at Twilight and begins strangling* WHY?! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU EVER SAY/THINK THOSE WORDS?!
6307811 this needs to be fleshed out. for science, prosperity, and the children.
I reviewed this story!
My review can be found here.
Fun, but predictable. The experimental setup was nicely detailed, but I think we all knew it was going to be derailed anyway. As such, it's less impressive. Points for being succinct though. The "joke" works better in the really short form.
Heh. You know, seeing how Rarity already has the fore-knowledge of next season, she has no reason to go back and tell her future past-self the exact same thing. So... they could still do Twilight's experiment.
...Except for the part where Rarity simply dismisses her future-self's advice, thus never taking it into account, and subsequently going back in time to... also not convince her past-self.
@ 6300923
Heh, funny comment.
Oh, Celestia, always the clever one.
Pinkie of course makes perfect sense. Although I sense a distinct lack of future-Pinkie setting up a surprise-party for her past self.

What else can a story about a stable time loop be but predictable?
Did you travel into the future?
