Tipler Cylinder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Larry Niven wrote a short story (whose titled, he admitted, borrowed from Tipler's paper) in which the Tipler Cylinder was known to be a functional mode of time travel, but any race that tried to build one saw their work destroyed by a natural disaster before the Cylinder was complete. |
 | | The Astranagant in Super Robot Wars uses time-based weaponry inspired by the Tipler Cylinder. |
 | | In Terry Pratchett's Discworld series the History Monks use Procrastinators, rotating stone cylinders that are an obvious spoof of Tipler Cylinders, to move amounts of time around and fix temporal disturbances. |
