Methods of Time Travel



Methods of Time Travel

Genetic Ability
Time travel is sometimes a natural ability, with many characters being born with or gaining the power to time travel without the aid of the traditional time traveling machine or object. These abilities are usually explained as a genetic variable or a supernatural power. In Niffenegger’s novel The Time Traveler’s Wife, Henry travels in time involuntarily due to a genetic condition that is termed as chrono-impairment. Similarly, in the Ruby Red Trilogy by Kerstin Gier, the protagonist Gwendolyn Shepherd begins jumping through time uncontrollably when she turns sixteen and discovers that she has a time traveling gene that runs in her family. In the Japanese animated movie, Toki o Kakeru Shōjo  or the Girl that Leapt Through Time , Makoto Konno also mysteriously gains her power to leap through time and learns of it from her aunt who also has the same ability. Many characters gain superpowers that involve controlling time, such as Hiro Nakamura from the television show Heroes or Homura Akemi from the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">who both wield space-time manipulation and can stop time, slow time, or travel through time. In the movie <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Butterfly Effect <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, Evan has memory power which allows his present self to inhabit his younger body and change his actions to alter his future. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal">

Most commonly used technologies include portals and machines that come in many different forms. Examples of portals that facilitate time travel in different narratives are the Galactic Entity Time Sphere from the television show <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Futurama, <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">the Guardian of Forever Time Portal from the television version of <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Star Trek <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, time holes in the movie <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Time Bandits <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, the Time Tunnel in the show <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Gilligan’s Island <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">, and wormholes in the novel <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> A Wrinkle in Time <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">.
