10 Short Lessons in Time Travel

- Reviews -

In the TV series Dragnet, detective Joe Friday used to say ' All we want are the facts' . Joe Friday would have loved Brian Clegg' s books. Brian can be relied on to give you the facts, and nothing but the facts, on matters scientific, from the science of the human body to - in this case - the science of time travel. 10 Short Lessons in Time Travel lucidly sums up the essential parts of this fascinating subject. Spacewarps and timewarps are both allowed by Einstein' s general theory of relativity, and both feature here, along with practical hints on how to build a time machine and the pros and cons of freezing yourself to wake up in the distant future. The bottom line is, time travel is theoretically possible, but practically very difficult.
