But they arrived after it happened, and that's how they knew it was also growing forward in time. Picard seems to have assumed it would reach a certain point then start traveling backwards, but there's no real indication of that, either.
Jun 30, 2012 at 16:28	comment	added	Izkata		@Stefan I just pulled up the episode to take a look. When Picard is convincing them to turn back and take another look in the future time period, Data's theorizing makes it sound like the tachyon pulses are simply weakening the barrier, that the eruption happened at some point after they left - and they might be able to see the initial formation when they go back, the point at which the eruption starts. Once there, Geordi said it looks like it formed within the past 6 hours, and Picard says "We must stop it here, so it can't travel back in time."
