USS Enterprise-D firing inverse tachyon pulse into anomaly — An anti-time eruption.

An anti-time eruption is a multiphasic temporal convergence in the spacetime continuum caused by a breakdown in the subspace barrier separating time and anti-time.

In an alternate timeline, such an eruption was discovered in the Devron system, taking the form of a highly-focused temporal energy source whose energy output was approximately the same as ten G-type stars. Due to anti-time's opposite nature relative to normal time, the eruption traveled backwards in time, growing larger as it did so. Exposure to the temporal energy being emitted by the eruption caused the crew of the Enterprise to experience temporal reversion, a phenomenon whereby the crew's cellular structures began to coalesce, reverting to earlier stages of development. This manifested itself by causing old scars to heal, the DNA in Commander La Forge's optic nerves to regenerate, and the death of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa's unborn child, due to the reversion of the embryo's fetal tissue.

Captain Picard, who was shifting through time between three different time periods due to the influence of Q, ordered an inverse tachyon pulse initiated in all three time periods to penetrate the subspace barrier and examine the interior of the eruption. Picard learned from Q that, approximately 3.5 billion years previously, the eruption causes a disruption of the initial formation of life on Earth, thereby eliminating humanity from the timeline lest Picard find a way to stop the eruption from traveling back through time. It was eventually discovered that the convergence of the tachyon pulses in the three different time periods is what caused the anomaly in the first place. By taking each time period's Enterprise into the center of the eruption and initiating a static warp shell, they were able to create an artificial subspace barrier to separate time and anti-time. Although this action led to the destruction of all three Enterprises, it successfully collapsed the anomaly and negated the timeline in which these events occurred. (TNG: "All Good Things...")

-In an [[alternate timeline]], a rupture was formed as the result of the convergence of three identical [[inverse tachyon pulse]]s from three time periods - [[2364]], [[2370]] and an unknown future date - at a single point in space. The rupture, located in the [[Devron system]] inside the [[Romulan Neutral Zone]], expanded as it traveled back through time due to the unique nature of anti-time. Eventually, the anomaly would have expanded to cover the entire [[Beta Quadrant]] in the [[distant past#3.5 billion years ago|distant past]].
-A highly-focused energy source, the anomaly's energy output was found to be equivalent to ten [[G-type star]]s. The energy emitted was in the form of [[temporal energy]], which caused [[Geordi La Forge]]'s [[DNA]] to regenerate, giving him normal sight. Several other crew members reported old scars healing, and [[nurse]] [[Alyssa Ogawa]]'s fetus was killed by the reversion. The anomaly's presence at [[Earth]] in the distant past would have prevented the formation of the first [[protein]]s, all life on the planet, and ultimately the entire Human Race.
-Eventually, the cause of the rupture was uncovered, and a concerted effort from the ''Enterprise''s of each time frame was successful in reforming the subspace barrier via a [[static warp shell]], erasing the anomaly and the timelines it created. ({{TNG|All Good Things...}})
