Time Travel in Einstein's Universe

The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time

by J. Richard Gott ...

A Princeton astrophysicist explores whether journeying to the past or future is scientifically possible in this "intriguing" volume (Neil deGrasse Tyson).It was H. G. Wells who coined the term "time machine"—but the concept of time travel, both forward and backward, has always provoked fascination and yearning. It has mostly been dismissed as an impossibility in the world of physics; yet theories ... Read more

What is time? The 5th-century philosopher St Augustine famously said that he knew what time was, so long as no one asked him.Is time a fourth dimension similar to space or does it flow in some sense? And if it flows, does it make sense to say how fast? Does the future exist? Is time travel possible? Why does time seem to pass in only one direction?These questions and others are among the deepest ... Read more

The Infinite Cosmos

Questions from the frontiers of cosmology

by Joseph Silk ...

From time immemorial, poets and philosophers have looked in awe and wonder at the Universe. Such awe is shared by astrophysicists, too, as they seek to understand its nature, and whether it has any limits. In The Infinite Cosmos, Joseph Silk, Savilian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford University, cosmologist and well-known science writer, brings together the modern understanding of the Universe, ...

Starship To New Earth Now

by Phillip Duke ...

The stars are very far away in terms of distances, but Not in terms of the times required to travel the distances. By applying Einstein's proven principle of Time Contraction, the many Earth type worlds orbiting distant stars become readily available for colonization. They are waiting to be claimed, it is only necessary to go there.This book explains why star travel is possible Now, and how it can ... Read more

Extra Dimensions in Space and Time

by Itzhak Bars, John Terning ...

Series series Multiversal Journeys
In physics, the idea of extra spatial dimensions originates from Nordstöm’s 5-dimensional vector theory in 1914, followed by Kaluza-Klein theory in 1921, in an effort to unify general relativity and electromagnetism in a 5 dimensional space-time (4 dimensions for space and 1 for time). Kaluza–Klein theory didn’t generate enough interest with physicist for the next five decades, due to its problems ... Read more

De Sitter Invariant Special Relativity

by Mu-lin Yan ...

Einstein's Special Relativity (E-SR) is the cornerstone of physics. De Sitter invariant SR (dS/AdS-SR) is a natural extension of E-SR, hence it relates to the foundation of physics. This book provides a description to dS/AdS-SR in terms of Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formulation associated with spacetime metric of inertial reference frames.One of the outstanding features of the book is as follows: All ...
