"Here's a gem of a book...all peppered with delightful notes from
science fiction films, novels, and comics. I can't turn a page
without finding a jewel." Clifford Stoll, University of California,
Berkeley, author of The Cuckoo's Egg "The research that has gone
into this book is impressive." Nature "For professional physicists
much of the value lies in the extensive technical appendices and
footnotes, and the exhaustive list of references. But if, like me,
you are a child at heart, the real fun lies in the zany stories and
wild speculations." Physics World Time Machines explores the idea
of time travel from the first account in English literature to the
latest theories of physicists such as Kip Thorne and Igor Novikov.
This very readable work covers a variety of topics including the
history of time travel in fiction; the fundamental scientific
concepts of time, spacetime, and the fourth dimension; the
speculations of Einstein, Richard Feynman, Kurt Goedel, and others;
time travel paradoxes, and much more.
