The Physical Possibility of Travel Through Time.
Human beings have a strong desire to travel through time and scientists are investigating whether it is possible under the laws of physics. In Newton's three-dimensional world this would have been inconceivable. But with Einstein's theory of relativity a fourth dimension - time - enters the frame. Is it really inconceivable that we can travel along the timeline?
In 'Time Travel', world expert Professor Richard Gott offers an intellectually expansive, witty and engaging study of the viability of time travel, which takes us from the dream of time travel itself in HG Wells's path-breaking novel 'The Time Machine' to cutting edge research into astrophysics and quantum teleportation. He explores the scientific, social, philosophical and moral implications of time travel, and reveals how the study of time travel to the past may provide new insights into cosmic origins and evolution.
