This
look
at
time
travel
technology
gives
“a
solid
overview
of
some
of
the
quirkier
corners
of
physics,
with
an
entertaining
connection
to
pop
culture”
(Kirkus
Reviews).In
How
to
Build
a
Time
Machine,
physicist
Brian
Clegg
provides
an
understanding
of
what
time
is
and
how
it
can
be
manipulated.
He
explores
the
fascinating
speculations
and
the
remarkable
possibilities
of
real
time
travel
that
emerge
from
quantum
entanglement,
superluminal
speeds,
neutron
star
cylinders
and
wormholes
in
space.
With
the
paradoxes
of
time
travel
echoing
in
our
minds,
will
we
realize
that
travel
into
the
future
might
never
be
possible?
Or
will
we
realize
there
is
no
limit
on
what
can
be
achieved,
and
take
on
this
ultimate
challenge?
Only
time
will
tell.“Dissects
schemes
such
as
going
into
the
past
and
playing
the
stock
market
armed
with
foreknowledge
of
what
will
rise
or
fall.
He
covers
most
of
the
themes
advanced
by
science
fiction,
plus
some
of
the
more
adventurous
scientific
minds,
generally
avoiding
math
or
tricky
technical
details.”
—Kirkus
Reviews“Explain[s]
quantum
entanglement
and
superluminal
speeds
in
terms
that
even
a
technophobe
could
understand.”
—Publishers
Weekly“A
genuinely
intriguing
book.”
—Booklist“Clegg
excels
at
making
science
accessible.”
