Nope. Loops don't need to have a beginning, that is the same reason a circle has no angles.

A ball cannot loop through time because it is physical and will degrade. But INFORMATION, Data, can loop through time as many incidences as it likes without a beginning. You only ASSUME everything has a beginning because you can't travel through time, it's like saying flying is impossible if you have never heard of a plane.

There is a difference between something that is impossible and something you have never seen.
