Re: This.

In Response To: Re: This. (Arithmomaniac)

: I remember more of a "causality dilation" effect, not any time
: travel as such. Actual time travel would be too big of a deal to be
: ignored in the novels - why wouldn't they go back in time to mess with the
: past instead of firing the Halo array? etc.

Right, though I believe the closest Halo canon has come to time travel (beyond the time dilation) would be I Love Bees story, left by the wayside, though considered canon. Technically not physical timetravel (at least on the scale of a biological entity) - since the AI was existent in both 2552 and 2004 simultaneously (that is, sort of connected synchronously between these two periods) due to the effect of a forerunner artifact/crystal activated while the Apocalypso was in slipspace.

Now, I'd certainly love to know how much of the story is considered canon, if not the whole thing... but it certainly seems at this point that it's more like "canon"; official story, but not really anything they feel worth exploring or expounding on. Hints of it exist in a couple other spots, but that's about it.

So the novels have some time dilation, and ILB has almost full time travel.

At the very least, I hope forerunner crystals are revisited sometime in the near future...
