- Backwards time travel is easily attested, but is IMO opinion SoP. If time travel means “travelling in time”, then obviously backwards time travel means “travelling backwards in time”. Isn’t backwards time machine equally SoP? A time machine means “a machine for time travel”, so a backwards time machine is simply “a machine for backwards time travel”. So what good does it do to find attestations? --Lambiam 10:39, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- cited. Let's leave the question of it being NISOP (which I agree it is) for RFD. Kiwima (talk) 00:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
