	Time travel
		Often nowadays it is a plot device used in science fiction to set a character in a particular time not his/her own, and explore the possible ramifications of the character's interaction with the people and technology of that time - a spin on the "country bumpkin comes to the big city" plot.
		The assumption that time travel or superluminal communications is impossible allows one to derive interesting results such as the no cloning theorem, and how the rules of quantum mechanics work to preserve causality is an active area of research.
		Time travel themes in science fiction can generally be grouped into two types (based on effect--methods are extremely varied and numerous), each of which is further subdivided.

	Anachronism
		Anachronisms may be committed in many ways, originating, for instance, in disregard of the different modes of life and thought that characterize different periods, or in ignorance of the progress of the arts and sciences and the other ascertained facts of history.
		Anachronisms abound in the works of Raphael and Shakespeare, as well as in those of less celebrated painters and playwrights of earlier times.
		Even with careful research, science fiction writers risk anachronism as their works age, because of things they failed to predict: many books nominally set in the mid-21st century assume the continuing existence of the Soviet Union, for example.

		Renaissance painters, for example, were well aware of the differences in costume between ancient times and their own, given the renewed attention to ancient art in their time, but often chose to depict ancient scenes in contemporary guise.
		Rather, these anachronisms reflect a difference of emphasis from the 19th and 20th century attention to depicting details of former times as they "actually" were.

	Andy's Anachronisms -- Introduction
		Later in life I began to appreciate the nuances of time travel, the paradoxes, the turning points in history, and more selfishly, in one’s own life that made it such a fascinating subject for speculation.
		Since in a world without time travel it is impossible for personal computers to have existed before they were invented, then the reference to computers must be incorrect and therefore an anachronism.
		However, if time travel were possible and I took a computer back to William Shakepeare, the computer would still be an anachronism, but it wouldn't be a figurative example anymore it would be a literal anachronism.

	Anachronism and time travel - InformationBlast
		The time travellers themselves would likely be a notable anachronism, since even something as simple as spoken language changes rapidly over time.
		The "time police"theory also presents a dramatic example of what is commonly called the grandfather paradox or the time loop paradox: if an anachronism in time was in fact corrected, how would anyone in the future know to go back and correct it?

	Time Travel Paradoxes
		First, we might think that entropy could be reversed by time travel, so that forms of matter would be restored to that state they would have been at the earlier period.
		Every instance of time travel generating an infinite number of alternative universes might be thought to violate Ockham's Razor, especially since the idea that an alternative universe could be generated in the first place has disturbing consequences for the metaphysics of identity.
		But without them, time travel, that would allow for the sort of temporal loop in which the paradoxical and impossible watch of Somewhere in Time becomes possible, is itself impossible.
