Didn't Einstein postulate that time travel was theoretically possible, but only for one going forward in time? If true, that would avoid the paradoxes posed by traveling into the past.
With over 50 books published and more than one and a half million copies of her works in print, Jenny Randles shifts gears from focusing on UFOs, abductions and the paranormal to time travel.
In Breaking The Time Barrier, Randles traces the quest for time travel by discussing the philosophy and concept of time itself and then examining the scientific attempts to break the time barrier over the past century.
Randles gives a history of the scientific investigations into the essence of time by carefully linking together the major experiments and advances in physics and science. The book is written in a chronological format that makes for a nice, linear progression and historical perspective. The work of well-known scientists such as Marconi, Edison and Einstein are discussed, along with many lesser known researchers and amateurs in the field.
You might think that this kind of book would be slow reading or dull, or might require a degree in physics from MIT. Not the case. Randles tells the story of what she terms the "Time Race" in clear language and with a great ability to explain complicated theories in simple terms.
The author wraps up Breaking The Time Barrier with a cautionary tone about the great or tragic possibilities that could await humans when the time barrier is broken. She also doesn't believe that the time barrier will be broken any time soon, but she does believe there is a steady and unstoppable march in that direction.
If you're looking for a quick and readable source on the subject of time travel and the scientific journey it entails, then this is the right book for you.
