Time. A Traveler'S Guide (Broché)

"This is the sort of book to read if you want your imagination inspired." -Daily Telegraph "Bucky Fuller thought big," Wired magazine recently noted, "Arthur C. Clarke thinks big, but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both." In his newest book, Cliff Pickover outdoes even himself, probing a mystery that bas baffled mystics, philosophers, and scientists throughout history-What is the nature of time? In Time: A Travelers Guide, Pickover takes readers to the forefront of science as lie illuminates the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe-time itself. Is time travel possible? Is time real? Does it flow in one direction only? What is eternity? Pickover's book offers a stimulating blend of Chopin, philosophy, Einstein, modem physics, the history of clocks, the nature of free will, and the reason gold glitters. Numerous diagrams enliven the journey. By the time we finish this book, we will understand that time travel is, indeed, possible. "Only Clifford Pickover would think of mixing time travel and music. Gripping, clear-this book could well be his best yet! A must buy for all wannabe time travelers.', -Ian Stewart, Scientific American "The irrepressible and prolific Clifford Pickover... romps joyously through relativity, particle physics, quantum mechanics and psychology." -New Scientist "How to travel through time is no simple matter, nor is explaining it, but Pickover rises to the challenge in many ways... The imaginative and humorous approach makes a difficult subject palatable." -Publishers Weekly "Pickover... stretches the limits of computers, art, and thought." -Los Angeles Times "The intellectual daring of this book guarantees it a sizable readership now and-who knows?-perhaps in the distant past and future as well" -Booklist "The basic principles are clearly explained... An entertaining introduction to modern scientific principles for bright students as well as adults." -Kirkus Reviews
