About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The idea of time travel has been popularized by science fiction. If you were to travel to the past, you could change it. But you could also visit historical figures and see what they looked like or attend Shakespeare’s first production of Hamlet.
#2 Time travel is now possible in the universe, and physicists are studying it. In Isaac Newton’s universe, time travel was inconceivable, but in Einstein’s universe it has become a real possibility.
#3 The idea of time travel gained popularity through the novel The Time Machine by Wells. He explained that there are actually four dimensions: length, breadth, thickness, and time. The distinction between the former three dimensions and the latter is unreal because our consciousness moves intermittently along the latter from the beginning to the end of our lives.
#4 The universe is four-dimensional. locating an event in the universe requires four coordinates. The first three coordinates locate its position in space, while the fourth coordinate tells you when to arrive.

#1
The idea of time travel has been popularized by science fiction. If you were to travel to the past, you could change it. But you could also visit historical figures and see what they looked like or attend Shakespeare’s first production of Hamlet.
#2
Time travel is now possible in the universe, and physicists are studying it. In Isaac Newton’s universe, time travel was inconceivable, but in Einstein’s universe it has become a real possibility.
#3
The idea of time travel gained popularity through the novel The Time Machine by Wells. He explained that there are actually four dimensions: length, breadth, thickness, and time. The distinction between the former three dimensions and the latter is unreal because our consciousness moves intermittently along the latter from the beginning to the end of our lives.
#4
The universe is four-dimensional. locating an event in the universe requires four coordinates. The first three coordinates locate its position in space, while the fourth coordinate tells you when to arrive.
#5
A time traveler who visits the past is just someone whose world line somehow loops back in time, where it could even intersect itself. This would allow the time traveler to shake hands with himself.
#6
The Grandmother Paradox is a classic example of how time travel could be problematic. If you kill your grandmother before she gives birth to your mother, then your mother would have never been born, and you would never have been born. This would prevent you from going back in time and killing your grandmother.
#7
The Grandmother Paradox exists in the world of fiction, but physically possible solutions do not. Physicists are divided on which approach is correct: the hand or the birth.
#8
The many-worlds theory of quantum mechanics, which is an interpretation of quantum mechanics, suggests that the universe is made up of many parallel worlds where the particle is detected at those various places.
#9
The famous California Institute of Technology physicist Richard Feynman showed that, to calculate the probability of a certain outcome, you must consider all possible world
