How to Build a Time Machine

by Paul Davies

How to Build a Time Machine Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With his unique knack for making cutting-edge theoretical science effortlessly accessible, world-renowned physicist Paul Davies now tackles an issue that has boggled minds for centuries: Is time travel possible? The answer, insists Davies, is definitely yes—once you iron out a few kinks in the space-time continuum. With tongue placed firmly in cheek, Davies explains the theoretical physics that make visiting the future and revisiting the past possible, then proceeds to lay out a four-stage process for assembling a time machine and making it work. Wildly inventive and theoretically sound, How to Build a Time Machine is creative science at its best—illuminating, entertaining, and thought provoking.

Synopsis:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 127-[128]) and index.

Synopsis:

From an award-winning physicist and internationally acclaimed science writer comes an entertaining tour of the mind-boggling breakthroughs that make time travel possible.
