Line 158:
* ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'': In Eliezer Yudkowsky's exposition on rationality, framed as a piece of Harry Potter fanfiction, Harry attempts to use his Time Turner to influence the past and comes to the conclusion that the Novikov self-consistency principle applies.
* ''[[Orthogonal (series)|Orthogonal]]'': A science-fiction novel series by [[Greg Egan]] that applies the principle.
* The Netflix series ''[[Dark (TV series)|Dark]]'' is largely based on the notion that the possibility of time travel tempts the characters to try to change the past, which only leads them to cause the events they were trying to prevent in the first place.
* ''[[Quantum Break]]'' (2016): A video game by [[Remedy Entertainment]], centers heavily on the question whether the past can be changed or not. Some of the characters in the plot are driven to change it, whereas others, who have already tried doing so in vain, have resigned themselves to come to the conclusion that the Novikov self-consistency principle seemingly applies.
* ''[[Outer Wilds]]'' (2019): A video game involving time travel which does not follow the principle, causing a game over if the player experiments to test it.
