the only way time travel would be possible in the wheel of time is with tel'aran'rhiod as the world of dreams is in essance non static u can dream that your 5 years in the past and weave bridge between worlds allowing you to phisicaly enter and exit tel'aran'rhiod using this principle it might allow time travel but it is still pushing it.

all though not the original use for a gateway spell you can use it as a instant death spell cast it on top of an opponant make them make a reflex save vs your casting level or the are cut in half

The problem with that is that RJ said (in response to the Olver is Gaidal Cain theory) that time in Tel'aran'rhiod never moves backwards.

true like i said it is pushing it another way already mentioned is the alternate worlds theory in this case the only fifference between our world and the target world is that time flows differently either faster or slower then ours and when you bridge them you would feel a stange time distortion like when you enter a waygate and for all intense and purposes you are either in the past or the future

i would like to point out that this is a very pluasable way to do time travel in the WOT and as with the ways unless your entering or exiting them you cannot detect the rate in which time passes

But this would not let you go backwards in time, nor as it relates to the original post, would it allow you to go from the Age of Legends back to the 3rd Age. Time may move differently within the Ways (days pass for you but outside weeks or months pass) but it still wouldn't be enough to keep you in limbo for 3000 years. Plus when the Ways were being used all the time I think you might have been discovered eventually.

what i was trying to suggest was this suppose the wot is in a three world universe world A is the world in which the novels are set and world B is exactly like world a but time is moving at 1/2 the rate compared to world A

using a portal stone you cross from A to B effectivly ending up in a world 1/2 the age of the real world although you never actually travelled in time the events that are happening in world B are reflecting the events that happened in World A's past ie age of Legends etc

and World C is just like world A but time is passing at x2 the rate and would reflect what would happen in world A some time in the future
