Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

Alright I'm going to argue for both sides, most notably time travel
Reasons Not:
Time is believed to be affected by gravity, but not just any amount of gravity, gravity that is a million times that of the sun, like a black hole. When the chief is flying towards the portal to go back to earth there is no body of gravity that large, true the Ark is there, but I'm pretty sure its mass isn't more than a black hole. I've also heard arguements that the crystal made time warp and therefore that is time travel, this isn't true. The crystal found on Reach only created a time DILATION effect, only causing time to go slightly faster. Time is slightly accelerated by a few hours, not days, or years...hours. But this could be because that they are in slipspace, where they technically rip a hole in space and therefore it is also believed that it also rips a hole in time, so the dilation affect could be caused by a rift in slip space
Reasons For.
The portal that lead to the ark could technically referred to as a worm hole, a hole in one part of space that leads to another. Travel through wormholes such as these is thought to be extremely unstable, meaning you could end up in a different galaxy if something bad happens while travelling through this worm hole. Wormholes are also believed to have the same mass as a black hole, there for causing ripples in time, maybe while the arbiter went through and the portal closed something happened where it sucked the chief cortana and debris from the ark through a "timehole" and sent them to a different time, or even an alternate reality, but thats a discussion for a different time.
as for my personal beliefs i don't think it is reach but only bungie can tell
I back up the part about the worm hole, which is what it is. You can't bend space without bending time. There one and the same. So time travel i Halo is possible, But my theory just picks up far to many small points for it all to be coincidence. Its backed up logic vs. completely configured thoughts and guesses.
