Download or read book Time Travel written by Paul J. Nahin and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From H.G. Wells to Isaac Asimov to Ursula K. Le Guin, time travel has long been a favorite topic and plot device in tales of science fiction and fantasy. But as any true SF fan knows, astounding stories about traversing alternate universes and swimming the tides of time demand plausible science. That’s just what Paul J. Nahin’s guide provides. An engineer, physicist, and published science fiction writer, Nahin is uniquely qualified to explain the ins and outs of how to spin such complex theories as worm holes, singularity, and relativity into scientifically sound fiction. First published in 1997, this fast-paced book discusses the common and not-so-common time-travel devices science fiction writers have used over the years, assesses which would theoretically work and which would not, and provides scientific insight inventive authors can use to find their own way forward or backward in time. From hyperspace and faster-than-light travel to causal loops and the uncertainty principle and beyond, Nahin’s equation-free romp across time will help writers send their characters to the past or future in an entertaining, logical, and scientific way. If you ever wanted to set up the latest and greatest grandfather paradox—or just wanted to know if the time-bending events in the latest pulp you read could ever happen—then this book is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you really change the past? And if so, is it dangerous to do so? Should you be worried about the so-called Grandfather Paradox? What about the Butterfly Effect? What do time travellers really need to know? All these questions and more are answered, with examples from popular movies. "M.J." is an avid writer and gamer, co-creator of Multiverser: The Game, and well known for his web site Temporal Anomalies in Popular Time Travel Movies; some of his writings have been translated into French and German. He can be found on Facebook and other social media platforms, and through MJYoung.net, the Christian Gamers Guild, and Patreon. If you've ever watched a time travel film and thought to yourself, "Hey, that's not how it would work!" then this book is for you. While most time travel stories will simply have a character say a few lines of technobabble to handwave away plot holes or logical gaps, in The Essential Guide to Time Travel, Mark Joseph Young explains the leading time travel theories in a logical concise way, then picks apart some of our most loved and cherished time travel films to show how they either make sense or don't (hint, they usually don't). But he doesn't stop there. Young uses the replacement theory to rationalize what had to have happened across multiple unseen timelines in order for what we see on screen to have happened. His analyses also plausibly solve paradoxes that the stories themselves create, thereby saving the universe! The knowledge contained in this book will make you enjoy the time travel genre in new, mind-blowing ways. You'll never just "watch" another time travel movie ever again.

Book excerpt: Best Books of 2016 BOSTON GLOBE * THE ATLANTIC From the acclaimed bestselling author of The Information and Chaos comes this enthralling history of time travel—a concept that has preoccupied physicists and storytellers over the course of the last century. James Gleick delivers a mind-bending exploration of time travel—from its origins in literature and science to its influence on our understanding of time itself. Gleick vividly explores physics, technology, philosophy, and art as each relates to time travel and tells the story of the concept's cultural evolutions—from H.G. Wells to Doctor Who, from Proust to Woody Allen. He takes a close look at the porous boundary between science fiction and modern physics, and, finally, delves into what it all means in our own moment in time—the world of the instantaneous, with its all-consuming present and vanishing future.

Download or read book Time Travel Physics for Beginners written by Lisa Visintainer and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Approved by national science authorities* ------ Is time travel possible or just science fiction? The concept of time travel, both forwards and backwards, has created an endless source of excitement and curiosity. In the realm of physics, it has been generally considered an impossibility, nevertheless, theories put forward by Einstein and further pursued by scientists such as Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne indicate that such a phenomenon could indeed occur. As many of us have less and less time to contemplate physics, Lisa Visintainer brings the universe down to a language we can all understand while plunging into the exotic realms of time, wormholes, blackholes, antimatter, "arrows of time" and showing us the possibilities of real time travel physics. She offers a straightforward guide into this admittedly difficult topic, which tries to understand time and its possibilities for time travel. Unlike other publications that shy away from the entirety of relativity and similar topics, Time Travel Physics for Beginners embraces the complete unfamiliarity of most of the theories and logic associated with the topic. Lisa Visintainer provides crystal-clear explanations of, among other things, the principles of time travel, time machines (that are noncomparable with the common fiction ones), and its related paradoxes. Time Travel Physics for Beginners, a book approved by Austrian national science authorities, is considered to be one of the very few books offering plausible answers to big questions and is an excellent read for cosmos-interested people, which millions have been waiting for.
