Time travel in Einstein's universe: the physical possibilities of time travel through time by J. Richard Gott
World renowned astrophysicist J.
Richard Gott combines the fantasy of time travel and the scientific
probabilities of it in reality. Being that it is human nature and curiosity to
want to travel and explore, this book investigates how achievable the science
would be under the laws of physics everything must obey. If one compares time
travel to Newtons laws, it would be completely implausible. But approaching the
science using Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and his fourth-dimension views,
time travel could almost be credible.
This book engages its readers with
witty humor and clear language anyone could enjoy. It explores all
hypotheticals in the scientific, social and moral areas and its harrowing
implications if time travel was to be viable. Completing this book can open
ones mind to the scientific brilliance of physics and the extraordinary facts
behind the sciences used in Sci- fi novels.
