How to Build a Time Machine
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.” —Library Journal
How to Build a Time Machine
Inspired at an impressionable age by the work of science fiction writers H.G.Wells and Arthur C Clarke, Paul Davies has thought long and hard about ways to travel in time. Here, the best-selling popular science writer finally reveals how it can be done - without breaking the laws of physics and without causing any earth-shattering paradoxes. Since time is money, time travel is a costly business. But with the help of a handy black hole, or better a wormhole, and a bit of luck, Davies's guide illustrates how this new mode of travel could yet be a viable option.

From Eternity to Here
Twenty years after Stephen Hawking's 9-million-copy selling A Brief History of Time, pioneering theoretical physicist Sean Carroll takes our investigation into the nature of time to the next level. You can't unscramble an egg and you can't remember the future. But what if time doesn't (or didn't!) always go in the same direction? Carroll's paradigm-shifting research suggests that other universes experience time running in the opposite direction to our own. Exploring subjects from entropy and quantum mechanics to time travel and the meaning of life, Carroll presents a dazzling new view of how we came to exist.
