 ====In the Sea of Time (ISOT)====
-"In the Sea of Time" or ISOT is a term usually used in alternate history discussion groups, especially the newsgroup soc.history.what-if. It originally comes from [[S.M. Stirling]]'s //Island in the Sea of Time// series, which features the entire island of Nantucket and all its inhabitants being transported thousands of years back in time. ISOT has become a popular term (use it like a verb: to ISOT, ISOTs, ISOTed) for what happens when an area (as opposed to an individual) is transported back in time with no apparent means of return.
