Chronodynamics

"trickshot" redirects here. For the displays of skill using pool balls, see trick shot.

Chronodynamics is an invented system of time travel found in the fiction of James Boudreaux II. By adhering to the principle of self-consistency, put forth by Igor D. Novikov, Chronodynamics offers a reasonable and logical alternative to paradoxes. The Theory of Chronodynamics is summarized in its Three Laws.

The three laws of Chronodynamics are:

1. "Past, present and future are relative to the observer."

2. "Time travel multiplies the traveler, not the event, which remains eternal and immutable."

3. "Cause must precede effect, though it may not appear to do so to the stationary observer."

Use in fiction

Chronodynamics is employed in the online graphic serial Tales From the Chronodynamics Guild: TRICKSHOT as a plot device. In the body of the story, time travel is always portrayed in a chronodynamic light.
