![]() First use of this phrase in science fiction, as far as I know.
Another early example of the time loop idea can be found in Forever is Today by Charles F. Ksanda, published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in 1946:
The silver sphere began to move away from the basin. It swung slowly on its cable upward along the metal arc toward the center of the room...
Carsten spoke again, and once more seemed to enjoy his role of lecturer.
“The silver sphere before you is a perfect pendulum, its motion exactly adjusted by magnetic currents in the metal rail beneath it. The length of the time loop varies directly with the rate at which the sphere passes through the basin. The sphere actuates the force which will warp time into a loop coinciding exactly with the span of my life.”
