"Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm."
― The Prince (The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time)
"There’s an old saying in my field, time travel is for immortals and fools. And I speak from experience."
― Professor Paradox (Ben 10; Alien Force)

Capabilities[]

Users can travel and send others to the future/past. Some users may be limited to remaining on the same spatial spot of a differing timeline, others may be able to move to a different spatial position.

Applications[]

Techniques[]

Variations[]

Associations[]

Levels[]

  • Basic Level: Users can only travel seconds backwards/forward in time.
  • Advanced Level: Users can travel minutes backwards/forward in time.
  • Expert Level: Users can travel hours backwards/forward in time.
  • Master Level: Users can travel days or several weeks backwards/forward in time.
  • Ultimate Level: Users can travel months/to several years backwards/forward in time.
  • Absolute Level: Users can travel decades, centuries, or even an eternity backwards/forward in time.

Limitations[]

  • When traveling to the past, any changes that the user makes may cause a butterfly effect; for the said user cannot change the way things are without destroying what it was.
  • The person's attempt to time traveling may be futile due to the Grandfather Paradox; preventing them from achieving their goal in altering the past and future, unless they have Ancestral Paradox Defiance.
  • May be unable to move to a different location spatially, and instead just end up in the same location in a different timeline. Telefrag is possible as a result.
  • Protection conjecture, a cause that prevents the change of the past, could interfere with the Time Travel in some cases. If not and the past is change, results in the present time, before the travel, can have unwanted results.
  • Time travel may separate the user from space, which would leave them entrapped within time, rendering them biologically immortal, intentionally or not.
  • Abuse and misuse of time travel may result in one's mind losing track in time, causing the body to age but the mind to remain young.
  • Because of the complexities and potential dangers, time travel is sometimes considered a taboo and against the law of nature, and even outlawed by some governments.
  • Cannot interfere in certain matters concerning the flow of time and space.
  • It's not known if the future is protected by the same cause the past is (see Precognition for more info how changes to the future could be prevented).
  • May not be able to interact with the past or future (See Precognition or Retrocognition.)
  • May distort the space-time continuum in exchange for traveling.
  • May only be able to transport living tissue through time.
  • May only be able to go either backward or forward in time.
  • May only be able to travel the duration of their own lifetime.
  • Time travel to the past may create an alternate timeline, in order to prevent changes to affect the original time. This means that the past would branch off into a new dimension of time, while the present timeline would continue as though nothing affected the past. This prevents intended changes.
  • Cannot escape users of Temporal Presence.
  • Cannot defeat user of Acausality.
  • May not be able to travel to events that have been affected by Inevitable Event Creation.
  • May have a limit for how long a user can stay in another time.
  • May not be able to control the destination, traveling to random times and places.
  • Normally unable to travel back to the state before the universe began.
  • Can still be affected by Warp Travel Unravel and Warp Travel Interaction.
  • May have to avoid seeing oneself, avoid seeing one's own blood relatives related to the users' own parents, and or closest friends known to the users' parents.
