There is also a scientific explanation that allow the chief to travel in time (with unespected results) which mean he could have go to Onyx before the planet explode.
We can access the space-time within slipspace but with enermous energy. Since the slipspace portal was prematurely closed due to structural damage and/or energy overloaded from the Halo weapon system and/or structural detonation there is a possibility that this energy spike allowed John and Cortana to travel to the past or the future.
There is not possibility that they travel to an alternative universe (marathon) because the energy require would be too much. For time travel the power requirement can be theorize (from many science-fiction creation) to nuclear fusion (the sun) and for alternative universe: Zero Point Energy from slipspace.
How are you coming up with this information about accessing spacetime via slipspace? That was never said or alluded to whatsoever.
Citing the scientific establishment of other science-fiction universes is silly. Halo is its own universe with its own scientific laws, and while Sci-Fi content tends to borrow ideas from other Sci-Fi content, incredibly large plot devices like time and intra-universal travel are uniquely-defined in the content in which they are prevalent.
There has never been any inclination in any piece of Halo content to insinuate that time travel is possible. Time dilation is another story, but that isn't time travel, and it doesn't deal with the past either.
I have difficulties to explain, but seriously, with the forunner technology+ forerunner accidental power overload, they really can travel in time.
They can, but I don't think they will, since when Bungie did something with time traveling? It's too much confusing.
Joe Staten already confirmed in an interview that he agrees that time travel would be a silly and cliché plot device. They explored both deeply in Marathon and have seemed to steer far away from it with Halo. Saying that the Forerunner "can" is an unfounded statement. We don't know what the Forerunner can do.
