Synopsis

edit

In this book, Davies discusses why time is relative, how this relates to time travel, and then lays out a "blueprint" for a real time machine. This is explored whilst also discussing paradoxes which allow a more constructive approach. It is a realistic, albeit fantastical, book.[2][3]

Critical reception

edit

In Kirkus Reviews the reviewer noted that this volume allowed "Davies to wax eloquent on concepts he has covered in earlier works: general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, virtual matter (non-empty vacuums), parallel universes, as well as assorted time paradoxes."[4]
