Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Scientists Say About Time Travel? It's fair to say that most scientists today will tell you that time travel is impossible. Three of today's top physicists - Charles Liu, Brian Green and Michio Kaku - all hold that time travel is, if not impossible, unlikely in the extreme. However, one of the most brilliant minds of our time, physicist Stephen Hawking, disagrees - although only partially. He believes that time travel is theoretically possible, but only into the future. …. But What Do Real People Experience? The opinion of science, however, has never stopped thousands of people around the world from reporting what they firmly believe are actual experiences of spontaneous time travel! Still others insist that time travel is not only possible, but they have already done it as part of top secret government programmes. Claims for time travel range from the highly flaky to the astoundingly believable. They are especially difficult to dismiss when time travel reports come from absolutely ordinary, rock-solid people who have nothing to gain by proclaiming they travelled in time. Many people who report time travel experiences don't necessarily believe it themselves. What happened to them was so strange, so unexpected, yet so real; they simply have no other good explanation for their experience. You will meet a number of such individuals in this book, most of their stories straight out of the headline of local newspapers. No doubt, a story or two will strike the reader as pure balderdash. On the other hand, some of these cases of time travel are tantalizing and unexplainable. They also come with a certain amount of solid evidence, such as stopped clocks, frozen machines and electromagnetic devices acting in inexplicable ways. Physicist and NASA scientist Tom Campbell said that scientific advances always 'come from the fringe.' Thus, even if you consider some of these stories stepping dangerously 'out there' onto that fringy edge, remember that many of yesterday's fringe theories are today's scientific fact. At the very least, it doesn't hurt to approach the idea of time travel with an open mind and a sense of wonder.

Book excerpt: “A revolution is happening in speculative fiction, and Annalee Newitz is leading the vanguard."--Wil Wheaton From Annalee Newitz, founding editor of io9, comes a story of time travel, murder, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love. 1992: After a confrontation at a riot grrl concert, seventeen-year-old Beth finds herself in a car with her friend's abusive boyfriend dead in the backseat, agreeing to help her friends hide the body. This murder sets Beth and her friends on a path of escalating violence and vengeance as they realize many other young women in the world need protecting too. 2022: Determined to use time travel to create a safer future, Tess has dedicated her life to visiting key moments in history and fighting for change. But rewriting the timeline isn’t as simple as editing one person or event. And just when Tess believes she's found a way to make an edit that actually sticks, she encounters a group of dangerous travelers bent on stopping her at any cost. Tess and Beth’s lives intertwine as war breaks out across the timeline--a war that threatens to destroy time travel and leave only a small group of elites with the power to shape the past, present, and future.

Download or read book Time Travel and Our Parallel Worlds written by Richard Bullivant and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been more than sixty years since physicist Hugh Everett III first proposed his Many Worlds Interpretation and scientists have been arguing about it ever since. This is because the implications of 'Many Worlds' is just so mind boggling. Not only is our universe or dimension of reality not the only dimension of reality, but it's just one of an infinite number of other parallel worlds and, yes, all of those 'other' worlds are tucked in right next to ours. Perhaps only the thinnest of veils separates us from all the rest. Many scientists still say the Many Worlds theory carries too much metaphysical baggage. On the other hand, a survey conducted of a cross section of the physicists around the world just ten years ago showed that 68% of them now agree that the Many Worlds Interpretation is either 'true' or 'mostly true'. So now it seems that even the most mainstream of scientists agree that we live in a universe teeming with parallel worlds. Perhaps fewer are on board with time travel but, as we have seen, the two always seem to go together, or at least have something to do with one another. In the final analysis, it's not science that is going to convince the world that parallel universes are real and that time travel is possible. Sooner or later, the truth is going to be undeniable. When enough people have real-life encounters with a time-slip or a slip into another dimension, sooner or later a critical mass will develop until a consensus is reached. That consensus may very well be: Of course we live in a Multiverse; yes we can have contact and interaction with all of those other parallel worlds, and that also means we can travel in time. We know it is true and possible because it happens every day. Contents Include: RAF Bentwaters Circles The Skinwalker Ranch Doorways Fata Morgana"
Download or read book Moving Through Parallel Worlds To Achieve Your Dreams written by Kevin L. Michel and published by Michel Leadership. This book was released on 2013-08-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum physics has revealed that objects can exist in more than one location simultaneously, even though the objects are invisible to us in all but one location, that is, parallel universes exist. This is most blatantly revealed in the mind shattering 'double-slit' experiment and is at the core of what is called 'the measurement problem,' in quantum physics. The results are startling, but this is what the science is clearly showing. It is human awareness that causes matter to fix into a single position, and reveal a single reality. The science is showing that at every moment we become aware of our reality, the universe splits into unseen parallel dimensions and we become trapped in just one of these many parallel realities. This is all powerful stuff but what does this mean for our lives? What if you could learn how to access these parallel worlds that are being created? What if you could do what many billionaires and great minds in history have done but have only hinted at. What if you could move through parallel realities in order to achieve unfathomable greatness. Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Michelangelo, Nikola Tesla, Isaac Newton, John D. Rockefeller and many others all used this quantum mind power that is now available to you. This is one of the most powerful books you shall ever read. With research from quantum physics, psychology, biology and behavioral epigenetics, as well as many great spiritual teachings, 'Moving Through Parallel Worlds' will guide you on a path to achieving your grandest ambitions.
