"IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME...."
Once widely considered an impossibility--the stuff of science
fiction novels--time travel may finally be achieved in the
twenty-first century. In "Breaking the Time Barrier," bestselling
author Jenny Randles reveals the nature of recent, breakthrough
experiments that are turning this fantasy into reality.
The race to build the first time machine is a fascinating saga
that began about a century ago, when scientists such as Marconi and
Edison and Einstein carried out research aimed at producing a
working time machine. Today, physicists are conducting remarkable
experiments that involve slowing the passage of information,
freezing light, and breaking the speed of light--and thus the time
barrier. In the 1960s we had the "space race." Today, there is a
"time race" involving an underground community of working
scientists who are increasingly convinced that a time machine of
some sort is finally possible.
Here, Randles explores the often riveting motives of the people
involved in this quest (including a host of sincere, if sometimes
misguided amateurs), the consequences for society should time
travel become a part of everyday life, and what evidence might
indicate that it has already become reality. For, if time travel is
going to happen--and some Russian scientists already claim to have
achieved it in a lab--then its effects may already be apparent.
