Description
Time travel technology has long been the realm of science fiction, but what if it's not? In "How to Build a Time Machine", Brian Clegg delves into the fascinating world of physics and explores the possibilities of real time travel. From Einstein to present day experiments, he examines the remarkable concepts that could make time travel a reality. Clegg discusses the paradoxes of time travel and the challenges they pose, but also reveals the intriguing ideas that have emerged from quantum entanglement, superluminal speeds, neutron star cylinders, and wormholes in space. This book is an engaging look at the science behind time travel, without getting lost in the fiction. By exploring the boundaries of what's thought to be possible, Clegg raises questions about the limits of human achievement and the potential for breakthroughs in our understanding of time itself.
