abstract
  • Time travel is a common theme in science fiction and fantasy, and it has been depicted in a variety of media from prose fiction to television and other advertisements. It can be the central theme of the plot, or merely a plot device to set the story in motion. Whereas hard science fiction may examine the causes and effects of time travel paradoxes,[citation needed] soft science fiction and science fantasy may ignore negative aspects and focus on fantastic wonders and adventures.[citation needed] Sean Redmond regards the time travel motif as providing a "necessary distancing effect" which can allow science fiction to address contemporary issues in metaphorical ways, and valuable for providing a view of history where every person is significant.
