There was an episode of Star Trek: Enterprise where Archer was infected with parasites from another dimension. They stopped him from forming long term memories. When the doctor finally removed them, they disappeared in Archer's medical scans .. so by removing them in the present, they never existed in the past and Archer returned to normal .. despite being annihilated in the (infected) past !
Self-referentiality is all in the memories folks !
.. So the universe must have a memory ..
