Question: Would you say that time travel is an element in the Narnia novels by C!.S!. Lewis!?
Since Lewis was also a sci-fi author, I wonder if the discrepancies in time between Earth and Narnia - the fact that visitors from Earth do not age at the same rate as time passes at Narnia - could be explained by the literary device of time travel!. What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those kids didn't actually travel in time!. They went into an alternate world where time and everything else is very different!.

I would call it sci-fi but not time travel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not so much time travel as it is the travel of time!. Haha, that sounds really confusing but what I'm saying is that time moves differently than it would here on Earth!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think its time travel!. It's just the different worlds and they have different times!. I don't know if that really explains it, but I don't think its time travel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It could be time travel I guess!. I've always viewed it more as an alternate world to which portals from our world exist!. In that alternate world time passes differently than it does in our world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think it's considered time travel, no!. Time just passes differently in different worlds!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is very Sci-fi and totally unrealistic but it doesnt count as time travel!Www@QuestionHome@Com
