types of time travel

.. I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on the past ..

  • In the western languages time moves from left to right
  • In Hebrew time moves from right to left
  • In Mandarin Chinese time moves from top to bottom (下次, 上次)
  • In Aymara, Quechua, and Maori, time moves backwards
    • "nayra", the Aymara word for past, literally means "front"
    • "kia whatatomuri te haere whakamua" in Maori means "I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on the past")
  • In ASL, time moves in a line from behind to in front of a person

We can't change the past, but we can change how we understand the past. We can withdraw or insert new potential into the past.
