Description
This work, eminently informative but solidly argued, shells the foundations of time travel through the concepts of space, time, black holes, the time machine, ultra-fast travel in general relativity or watches biological An exciting journey in which physics, mathematics and biology combine with the most notable exponents of literature and cinema that every adept at science fiction has been able to enjoy.
What would happen if someone traveled in time and killed their own grandfather? Are time travel really possible? And if they were possible, why are trips to the future more likely than to the past? Are those trips similar to Marty McFly's? What is the meaning of man in an infinite universe in space and time? What is teleportation? If we were able to go faster than light, could we see the future? Can a gene travel in time? Is the arrow of time irreversible?
Traveling in time is a fascinating idea that has led to old speculations, fantasies more or less delusional and, of course, also scientific study. Mathematics and physics have established the essential concepts, but also philosophy and psychology play a relevant role: from the technology of automatic watches, both real (Harrison) and virtual (Einstein), those always made (but only recently studied) ) mental trips in time, to others that are difficult to carry out, such as trips through wormholes. Art, through literature and cinema, has always been one step ahead: from the first Greek poets, passing through visionaries like H. G. Wells, to more recent authors such as Jorge Luis Borges or Javier Cercas, among many others.
"Understanding the limits in which travel in time is physically possible helps us to delimit our most intimate knowledge about the laws of nature that we are beginning to glimpse. As the magician Gandalf would say: all we have to decide is what to do with the time that has been given to us. "
