{{Short description|Point beyond which, turning back is difficultno longer possible}}
The '''point of no return''' ('''PNR''' or '''PONR''') is the point beyond which one must continue on one's current course of action because turning back is no longer possible, being too dangerous, physically difficult, or prohibitively expensive to be undertaken. The point of no return can be a calculated point during a continuous action (such as in [[aviation]]). A particular irreversible action (such as setting off an explosion or signing a contract) can be a point of no return.
