Ex-libraryThe story of physicists' quest to answer a mind-boggling question: How can we travel through tim e? n nSince H. G. Wells' 1895 classic The Time Machine, readers o f science fiction have puzzled over the paradoxes of time travel. What would happen if a time traveler tried to change history? Wo uld some force or law of nature prevent him? Or would his action produce a new history, branching away from the original?In the la st decade of the twentieth century a group of theoretical physici sts at the California Institute of Technology undertook a serious investigation of the possibility of pastward time travel, inspir ing a serious and sustained study that engaged more than thirty p hysicists working at universities and institutes around the world .Many of the figures involved are familiar: Einstein, Stephen Haw king and Kip Thorne; others are names known mostly to physicists. These are the new time travelers, and this is the story of their work--a profoundly human endeavor marked by advances, retreats, and no small share of surprises. It is a fantastic journey to the frontiers of physics.
