Summary
In Ten Short Lessons in Time Travel, Brian Clegg takes us on a fascinating and up-to-date tour of the workings of the universe that suggest the possibility of journeying back and forth through time.
Einstein's special theory of relativity made time travel to the future a possibility, and later his general theory of relativity showed us that loops in spacetime could exist, meaning that we might be able to bend time backwards, too. But what are the practicalities of making time travel possible? What do we still need to know? How do we deal with any paradoxical twists in time - and could quantum physics hold the answer?
About the series: the Pocket Einstein series is a collection of essential guides for anyone looking to understand a little more about some of the most important and fascinating areas of science in the 21st century. Broken down into 10 simple lessons and written by leading experts in their field, discover the 10 most important takeaways from those areas of science you've always wanted to know more about.

It's time to travel...
If you have a background in physics, listening to this book will provide you with potential scenarios that are understandable and just may be practicable in demonstion.
If, on the other hand, you took home economics instead, it will give you sufficient prose to see where the author's coming from.
I'm not saying which side I come from but I found the book a science fiction base class.
Gene Roddenbury used his access to NASA scientists to develop Star Trek. So the theories and the language used, was sufficiently developed to give an account of the future that is conceivable. All hale Gene.
I guess it is only when the scientists of today come up with practical demonstrations of Einstein's theories that we can say, 'oh course, it's obvious when you look at it that way'.
So in conclusion, Power to the Scientists.

real time travel
great book on the possibility of time travel, our current understanding and the relms of possibilities. facinating insight with out a dragged out backstory to each theory pop sci books usually give, straight to the point, no dead words. really enjoyed it, didnt want it to end actually which is rare.
