RE: Is Time Travel Really Possible?

in #science7 years ago

Just finished reading a book titled: A History of Time Travel. It was fascinating. It dissects the various concepts of time travel, the evolution of our understanding of it, and rules of traveling through time. For instance, did you know that the concept of time travel is only about 100 years old? In fact it appears that since about the time of the industrial revolution, our entire view of the future has changed. We aee it as this distant often hopeful place. For our ancestors, things barely changed year to year or even generation to generation, so they did not have our fascination with tomorrow.

Anyway, very cool stuff. I highly recommend it!

Wow, This is so fascinating!! I didn't know that the idea of Time Travel was just 100 years old. And you're right, things didn't change much for our ancestors over the years as the pace of technological development was extremely slow. Now, however, it is really fast.

I will definitely check out that book.
