== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' stories/anime feature time travelers, most notably [[Woobie|Mikuru]]. It gets important in a major way in the novels, which also push Mikuru from being the [[Neutral Female]] somewhat. {{spoiler|They travel to [[Arc Words|3 years ago]], and [[Trust Password|Kyon is the goddamn John Smith!]] }} The 7th novel also circles around it, this time with a Mikuru from a week in the future, setting off events to inspire the future inventor of time-travel and set off events necessary to bring about her organization. Like by nailing a can to the ground to send a man to hospital so that he can meet his future wife, or by dropping a turtle into freezing water to teach the inventor of time-travel something.
** For everyone who has questions, I present you {{media-|timeline.png| this}}. If it even ''[[Mind Screw|helps]]''. Careful of spoilers.
* ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'' used the theory of general relativity to drive the plot. Sara's own motivations to become a Reasoner are to meet up with her brother, because if he returns from military service in space after a couple of years in his time, she'll be long dead in hers. Ralph's motivations are explained by his being able to go back hundreds of years using the same theory.
* ''[[Zipang]]'', where a JMSDF destroyer somehow ends up at the Battle of Midway. It's actually much more interesting that it sounds.
