Book Description
"What time is it?" "And what time is it through the human interstellar portal?" Amy and Fin know all about weird dreams... They get them all the time... What they don't know is that everyday life is about to change for them inextricably, and in so many ways... Ways that they could never have imagined? For one thing, they don't have the faintest idea about the human interstellar portal or their special genealogy and secret hidden powers. And for another, the missing Lorentz force law quantum equations written by James's Maxwell in 1861 must be found! After Grandad Joseph’s accident, young Amy and Fin are about to find their true calling as they attempt to find something else by embarking on an amazing, fun-filled and traveltastic adventure by commanding their secret capabilities faster than yesterday, and sooner than tomorrow! Because it's time... A time for new blood to flourish... A time to meet Poe... A time to greet Johnny Depp... A time to beseech Leonardo Da Vinci... A time to find the Teyler Museum of Wonder... A time to climb the statue of Science and Art ... A time to go through... Just me and you... Through the Human Interstellar Portal! Come and enjoy Amy and Fin’s snap-shot introduction into the amazing world of time-travel on their first cool, action-packed adventure through the human interstellar portal. Featuring the wonderfully idiosyncratic and charming Leonardo Da Vinci as himself, and the even more wonderfully unique Johnny Depp, as Jack Sparrow, and himself. A wonderful, action-packed time-travel adventure story for children, young adults and even adults!

Book Description
Even the most reluctant readers will be fascinated to read about how twin astronauts Scott and Mark Kelly are a different age because Scott spent a year living on the International Space Station. This book looks at how time travel has been thought of from ancient times to modern day. It even discusses what humans might do if they could travel in time. From string theory to Einstein's theory of relativity, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to the grandfather paradox, and wormholes to quantum physics, everything time travel related is discussed here in easy-to-understand language and complimented by vivid artwork on every spread.

Book Description
Ryan Wasserman presents a wide-ranging exploration of puzzles raised by the possibility of time travel, including the grandfather paradox, the bootstrapping paradox, and the twin paradox of special relativity. He draws out their implications for our understanding of time, tense, freedom, fatalism, causation, counterfactuals, laws of nature, persistence, change, and mereology. The Paradoxes of Time Travel is written in an accessible style, and filled with entertaining examples from physics, science fiction, and popular culture.

Book Description
During times like these, who hasn't daydreamed about traveling forward or backward in time? In Time Travel: Ten Short Lessons, popular-science master Brian Clegg gives a grand tour of the essential lessons in this game-changing area of physics, from the imagination of novelists to current research. Einstein's special theory of relativity told us that time travel to the future was possible, and later his general theory of relativity showed us that loops in spacetime could exist, meaning that we might be able to bend time backward, too. But what are the practicalities of making time travel possible? What do we still need to know? How do we deal with paradoxical twists in time—and could quantum physics hold the answer? Packed full of easy-to-understand diagrams and fact boxes, these ten lessons cover all the basics, as well as the latest understanding and developments, to enlighten the nonscientist. About the series: The Pocket Einstein series is a collection of essential pocket-sized guides for anyone looking to understand a little more about some of the most important and fascinating areas of science in the twenty-first century. Broken down into ten simple lessons and written by leading experts in their field, discover the ten most important takeaways from those areas of science you've always wanted to know more about.

Book Description
A Princeton astrophysicist explores whether journeying to the past or future is scientifically possible in this “intriguing” volume (Neil deGrasse Tyson). It was H. G. Wells who coined the term “time machine”—but the concept of time travel, both forward and backward, has always provoked fascination and yearning. It has mostly been dismissed as an impossibility in the world of physics; yet theories posited by Einstein, and advanced by scientists including Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne, suggest that the phenomenon could actually occur. Building on these ideas, J. Richard Gott, a professor who has written on the subject for Scientific American, Time, and other publications, describes how travel to the future is not only possible but has already happened—and contemplates whether travel to the past is also conceivable. This look at the surprising facts behind the science fiction of time travel “deserves the attention of anyone wanting wider intellectual horizons” (Booklist). “Impressively clear language. Practical tips for chrononauts on their options for travel and the contingencies to prepare for make everything sound bizarrely plausible. Gott clearly enjoys his subject and his excitement and humor are contagious; this book is a delight to read.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Fact or fiction? Real or impossible? Movement through time explored, examined and explained! Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity postulates, and scientists have proven, that the faster you travel, the slower time moves. Clocks on airplanes, satellites and rockets are slower than clocks on Earth, and time travel is indeed real. Can time machines, time-tunnel wormholes or tales of fictional time-traveling heroes be so far-fetched? Covering the history of time travel in both reality and fiction, Time Travel: The Science and Science Fiction investigates the long history, myths, science and stories of movement from the present to the past and into the future. Timely in its telling, Time Travel chronicles more than 30 instances, accounts, stories and famous examples of time slips, such as ... The theory of relativity showing the link between time and space H.G. Wells’ epic novel of 1895: The Time Machine British physicist Stephen Hawking’s famous paradoxes surrounding time travel Charlton Heston’s character Taylor in the Planet of the Apes discovering that he is home, 2,000 years in the future Wormholes, the shortcuts through both space and time And many more! The idea of time travel fascinates because it offers the possibility, however remote, of revisiting and recapturing moments from our youth. And if travelers of the future have secretly visited us—well, that proves that our future is secure. Stories of time travel abound in books and film, and it’s been a source of endless fascination—and speculation—surrounding UFO sightings and conspiracy theories. This richly researched reference ripples with fascinating information. With more than 120 photos and graphics, this tome is nicely illustrated. Time Travel also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness. Time will fly by as you ponder the possibilities. Don’t hesitate. There’s no time like the present. Get your copy today. The future is waiting!
