Description

Time travel has long been considered the stuff of science fiction, but recent breakthroughs may finally make it a reality. In "Breaking the Time Barrier", Jenny Randles explores the experiments that are turning this fantasy into a possibility.

The journey to build the first time machine began over a century ago, with scientists like Marconi and Einstein working towards its creation. Today, physicists are conducting remarkable experiments involving slowing information, freezing light, and breaking the speed of light. This underground community of scientists is driven by a desire to make time travel a part of everyday life.

But what would be the consequences of time travel becoming a reality? Randles delves into the motives of those involved in this quest, as well as the potential effects on society. With some Russian scientists claiming to have achieved time travel in a lab, it's possible that its effects may already be apparent.
