Changes: Time Travel

Revision as of 03:01, 16 January 2013

The ability to move through time at will. A sub-power of Time Manipulation. People who travel through time are called Time Travelers.

Also Called

Time Jump
Time Jumping
Time Traveling

Capabilities

Users with this power can travel to future/past. Some may move in spatial position; others may be limited to standing in the same spot. Can encounter previous self and various selves from the past, future, and even alternate realities and alternate timelines. Additionally, time travelers have the POTENTIAL to know everything. For instance, if a time traveler wished to know what Albert Einstein's favorite food was, he or she could simply travel back in time and ask Albert himself, however, the user is not immediately all-knowing.

Variations

Creating and/or using wormholes.
Travel through dimension of time.
Teleport through the rift of space-time.
Using quantum mechanics.
Using time machines and time belts, or other devices.
Manipulating time within a specific area of space.

Associations

Limitations

May be unable to a different location spatially, and instead just end up in the same location in a different timeline.
Embody/replace future self.
Affect past/future circumstances.
Encounter past and future versions and selves from alternate realities and timelines.
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.
Abuse of time travel may result in body aging back and forth repeatedly, until one achieves immortality, whether wanted or not. The body may have aged to either old or young, but one can no longer die or change in age any longer. Prime examples of people who have suffered such results include Professor Paradox and Porky Minch.
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 distort the space-time continuum in exchange for traveling.
May only be able to transport living tissue through time.
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.
