dbulick Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 So Nohadon is the in world author of The Way of Kings right? What if Dalinar gets lost in the spiritual realm and loses himself in time, and is the actual author of The Way of Kings? Crazy temporal paradox.
Stark he/him Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 (edited) Would be fun, but if I remember correctly, Brandon has been very clear on time travel in the Cosmere. There are methods to travel forwards in time, which is one of the tools that Hoid uses. But there are no methods to travel backwards in time. No time travel paradoxes. You can go back and see what happened in visions, seeing the echoes of what happened, but you cannot change anything. Edit: I may be wrong: Spoiler Quote Questioner Will time travel ever be part of the cosmere? Brandon Sanderson Time travel is already part of the cosmere. Wayne... You mean, will people be able to travel backward in time? Nobody in the cosmere has yet figured out how to go backward at time. So, I will leave it at that. Arcanum Unbounded release party (Nov. 22, 2016) Quote Xluxaeternax Is the chronology through the whole cosmere fairly linear, or are there some Interstellar-relativity timey-wimey stuff at play? Brandon Sanderson Relativity is in play for sure, but I am not allowing time travel into the past in the cosmere. So while you might find places that move at slower/faster speeds, and while foreseeing future timelines is in play for sure, nobody will not be pulling serious time travel shenanigans.
