Download or read book The Subjective Time Traveler written by Jeff Layton and published by Jeff Layton. This book was released on 2023-03-03 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short novel about Time Travel: you will meet three-time travelers as they venture through the past, present, and future. These travelers from three different time epochs don’t use a time machine. They are subjective time travelers, and Lee Boswell, who becomes Chrono, is taught how to do this after he goes through a gene therapy treatment that allows his brain to shift and dial in time periods in the past, present, or future. The science behind this and consciousness itself is revealed consistently through the narrative. Preconceived notions of what time is regarding the past and the future and time travel are brought into a new light of reasoning. (4-12-2023) [Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Subjective Time Traveler" by Jeff Layton.] “Have you ever wished you had a time machine? Would you go back and prevent past mistakes and wars? Or would you seek a ringside seat at key historical events? And what would your time machine look like? The eponymous time machine in H.G. Wells' novel had dials and a seat and physically disappeared when it traveled in time. In Jeff Layton's novel The Subjective Time Traveler, however, all that's required is a human mind modified to traverse the fourth dimension. In this work that I'd consider speculative fiction, Layton introduces himself as the channeling writer for the protagonist, Chrono. He embarks on his time travels after manifesting a master, a shaman named Kyodi, in a lucid dream. Chrono's first-time trip is to the ceremony where Kyodi's consciousness leaves his body. He feels the frozen tundra underfoot as he walks to a hut: the scene is rich in sensual details, exemplifying the vivid descriptions that are one of the most enjoyable aspects of this book. Another was the range of history and culture that it covered. It includes a long list of dates at one point, but the channeling writer reassures readers they need not be put off by this, and he pauses on events that left a noticeable mark on the space-time continuum. Some of these were connected with key religious figures. This book's spiritual content was inspiring, and its insights into the subjectivity of reality can support mental wellness and healing. In explaining the scientific basis for time travel using Einstein's theories, the channeling writer packed an amazing volume of ideas into a concise work. Don't we know that time travel will never be invented because if it had been, we'd have met time travelers already? In outlining the rules of subjective time travel, Layton shows why this is not necessarily the case. I'd encourage you to read this book to find out more. The system was partly based on the laws of karma; I was slightly missing a full explanation of those. Rather, the author seemed to assume a thorough knowledge of the Buddhist understanding of karma that some readers may not have. In that connection, including a slightly more detailed explanation of that point could improve this book. Otherwise, its detailed descriptions and awe-inspiring insights into science, philosophy, and ontology were impressive. This book merits a very good rating because it was vivid, mind-expanding, clear, and easy to follow. Overall, this is a highly recommended work of speculative fiction. If you've ever wondered about the mechanics of time travel or how paradox can be prevented, this will help provide answers. No machine with dials is required - this is a subjective trip for the mind.”

Download or read book Time Traveler written by Dr. Ronald L. Mallett and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist, Dr. Ronald Mallett, who recently discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that he believes can be used as a transport vehicle to the past. Combining elements of Rocket Boys and Elegant Universe, Time Traveler follows Mallett's discovery of Einstein's work on space-time, his study of Godel's work on a solution of Einstein's equation that might allow for time travel, and his own research in theoretical physics spanning thirty years that culminated in his recent discovery of the effects of circulating laser light and its application to time travel. The foundation for Mallett's historic time-travel work is Einstein's theory of general relativity, a sound platform for any physicist. Through his years of reading and studying Einstein, Mallett became a buff well before he had any notion of the importance of the grand old relativist's theories to his own career. One interesting subtext to the story is Mallett's identification with, and keen interest in, Einstein. Mallett provides easy-to-understand explanations of the famous physicist's seminal work.

Download or read book Time Traveler written by Michael Novacek and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2003-03-15 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting for fossils with a preeminent guide and teacher Michael Novacek, a world-renowned paleontologist who has discovered important fossils on virtually every continent, is an authority on patterns of evolution and on the relationships among extinct and extant organisms. Time Traveler is his captivating account of how his boyhood enthusiasm for dinosaurs became a lifelong commitment to vanguard science. He takes us with him as he discovers fossils in his own backyard in Los Angeles, then goes looking for them in the high Andes, the black volcanic mountains of Yemen, and the incredibly rich fossil badlands of the Gobi desert. Wherever Novacek goes he searches for still undiscovered evidence of what life was like on Earth millions of years ago. Along the way he has almost drowned, been stung by deadly scorpions, been held at gunpoint by a renegade army, and nearly choked in raging dust storms. Fieldwork is very demanding in a host of unusual, dramatic, sometimes hilarious ways, and Novacek writes of its alluring perils with affection and discernment. But Time Traveler also makes sense of many complex themes - about dinosaur evolution, continental drift, mass extinctions, new methods for understanding ancient environments, and the evolutionary secrets of DNA in fossil organisms. It is also an enthralling adventure story.

Download or read book The Last Time Traveler written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-03-17 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Last Time Traveler An individual in a world where time travel was banned, embarks on a forbidden journey to change history. Summary: In the movie "The Last Time Traveler," there is a hero named Alex who finds a long-lost time machine in a hidden room. Aside from the fact that time travel is against the law in Alex's society, she wants to change history for the better. From the time of the dinosaurs to the Renaissance and the middle of the Industrial Revolution, this is the start of an amazing journey that will last for hundreds of years. Alex faces new risks and difficulties, as well as chances to grow, with each time jump. As Alex travels, he meets a wide range of historical figures and normal people who teach him interesting things. During the dinosaur age, Alex learns how important it is to be careful and how powerful nature is. We learned how to be brave and stand up for what's right from the scary dragons and brave knights of the Middle Ages. In the Renaissance, a time of invention and innovation, Alex learns about the limitless potential of people's minds. During the Industrial Revolution, growth and compassion are shown to be very important. And yet, Alex's trips don't come without costs. The Time Guardians are after Alex because they are in charge of making sure people don't move through time. They are telling kids that messing with time can have bad results. Alex gets away from capture with the help of friends he has made throughout history. He learns how important it is to work together and be kind to each other. Alex could have lived in the present or changed history, but he decides to destroy the time machine instead and take what he has learned. This movement shows that you are okay with living in the present and not trying to change the past. The story "The Last Time Traveler" does a great job of combining themes of bravery, resourcefulness, peace, understanding, acceptance, joy, and how important it is to live in the present. We can't change the past, but we can change the future by the choices we make today, as Alex's journey through time shows. Making the most of every chance and living with kindness, courage, and joy are what the story tells us. Finally, Alex understands that the best way to change the world is to live by these beliefs every day and show that the moment is always the most important time. Chapter 1: Device Not Allowed Nearly no one knew about this small, secret room that was in a cute little town with winding streets and clues. It was hidden under an old library that was full of books with magical and exciting stories inside. Alex, a young and curious traveler, found this cave system while looking for a kitten that was running away. Few lights were on in the room. A small amount of light came in through a window and cast shadows on something strange. A thick layer of dust and dirt covered a strange, big machine. It looked old and abandoned and had a big red switch, gears, and buttons. On the side of the device, the words "Time Machine" could be seen, though they were faint. Alex had never thought she would find a time machine in real life, but she had seen movies and read books about them. In Alex's world, going back in time was illegal and thought to be very dangerous. Scholars and the government both said that time travel could be very bad because it could change important events in history or make people doubt what is happening now. Because of these worries, time machines were made illegal, and if you use one, you could get into a lot of trouble. Even though there were risks, Alex felt amazed and excited. Alex was excited as he looked at the time machine, like the main character in an adventure story who is about to start an amazing journey. It was exciting to think about going back in time to see dinosaurs, soldiers, or maybe the future. Alex thought about all the good things that might happen if he changed the past. There's a chance they can stop tragedies or help people who need it. There was a chance to make the world a better place. Alex chose to take a chance, even though he was scared and excited at the same time. There was a chance to do something really cool. Before going up to the machine, Alex made sure no one else was around. He cleaned off the control panel and tried to figure out how it worked. There were buttons and switches that said things like "Past," "Future," and specific years and times. After some thought, Alex took a deep breath, pressed the "Past" button, called a date, and pulled the huge red lever. "This is it. I'm going to be a time traveler and change history for the better," he said. The machine buzzed, the lights flashed, and the wheels turned. There was a bright light and a whoosh of air, and Alex was outside the small, secret space. The trip through time had begun. Alex was about to start an amazing journey that would be full of risks, new experiences, and lessons about how important it is to be brave, have friends, and live in the present moment. Even though it is against the law in her world, Alex will go on an epic journey through the ages because she is curious and wants to make things better. Chapter 2: The First Step The time machine made a loud whoosh sound like a huge breeze when Alex pressed the big red button on it. In the blink of an eye, everything around Alex changed in a big way. The old library on top and the dusty room below were gone. At the other end of the spectrum, Alex found them in a huge open space with tall trees and lush, green plants that went on forever. Alex had never heard anything like this before. It was hot and crowded outside. There were dinosaurs around millions of years ago, long before anyone opened a book in that old library. To begin with, Alex was amazed and shocked. The land was filled with huge dinosaurs. There were ones with long necks that ate trees, ones with spikes that ate bushes, and even a smaller, faster group that ran through the bushes. These animals were a lot bigger and brighter than Alex had thought. Things looked like they were taken straight from a storybook, but they were all real and living. But Alex quickly learned that life in the time of the dinosaurs was not only an amazing adventure, but also very dangerous. These huge monsters found Alex interesting, but they didn't know that he was a visitor from the future and not a part of their society. They would have to be careful, because some of the bigger dinosaurs might think Alex is food. Alex got a chill down his spine as the loud roars kept going back and forth through the air. The sounds Alex heard might have been made by bigger dinosaurs looking for food. As Alex dug deeper to try to see more while staying covered, they came across a scene that showed how dangerous things were at the time. A big dinosaur with dangerous teeth and claws was after one of the smaller, faster ones. Alex saw a hunt happen right in front of her. Alex understood that every moment during this time was spent trying to stay alive, no matter how small. Alex was used to living in safe neighborhoods and warm homes, but this was a whole new world. Alex found out a lot on his first trip through time. Not only was it cool to see dinosaurs in real life, but it was also important to know how the Earth changed over time. Alex learned that there were risks and problems in every time period, and that you had to be brave and smart to get through them. Alex knew it was time to go back to the time machine, even though it was cool to see these amazing creatures up close. Alex took one last look at the dinosaurs and then pressed the "Return" button. He was ready to learn about how different and rich life has become on Earth over time and to share memories of an amazing trip.

Download or read book Once Upon a Time Traveler written by Joshua Light and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three brilliant scientists harness the power to fold time and visit the past and future like a common tourist. One scientist formulates a tour of Biblical events because he believes in God, but the tour is reluctantly and accidentally traveled by a scientist who does not. What will unbelieving eyes see, and how will they interpret the most significant supernatural events of all time? The tour embraces world history from the beginning of creation and into the future, where Biblical prophecy tells us that dangerous people will control the whole world, countless millions of people will evaporate, and society will plunge into darkness. What if a time traveler visited just two years into the future after the Biblical Prophetic clock has already started ticking? And then catapulted into the past, where Earth is like another planet entirely? What kind of world, and what kind of tribulation would he find? And as an unbeliever, how would he respond to it? Light deals with the issues of Biblical prophecy, recent young-earth creation, a literal and startling twist on how things were, and how things will be. Set aside the notions of being left behind, and embrace the idea of being brought along, in the circuits of Earth’s end-to-end timeline. Enter a future we’d rather forget, and a history that nobody remembers.
