Aren't we in a time loop. To me the plot doesn't work. Wouldn't they all be stuck in some sort of time loop?

Eddie killed himself in order to erase the RF from existence  and save Barry. And there's the problem (in my opinion).

Let's follow that time stream for a second. Eddie kills himself, therefore Eobard Thawne is never born and will never exist, which means he will never go back in time to try to kill Barry. Dr. Wells is never killed the particule accelerator doesn't blow, at least not at that etc... But it also means that Eddie would never have to kill himself to prevent the RF from killing Barry.

So theoretically, in killing himself Eddie created some sort of time loop, a paradox. To me they're stuck. Eddie kills himself to erase the RF, in the new timeline he doesn't need to kill him because he doesn't exist, which means that Eobard starts existing again....

What do you guys think? First of all You People need to under stand that Entertainment Physics, Chemistry and Biology is VERY VERY different from REAL world Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Thus the Laws of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in the ARROWVERSE is different from the Laws of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in THE Universe.
