In \u003ci\u003eBreaking the Time Barrier,\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Jenny Randles reveals the nature of recent, breakthrough experiments that are turning this fantasy into reality. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n The race to build the first time machine is a fascinating saga that began about a century ago, when scientists such as Marconi and Edison and Einstein carried out research aimed at producing a working time machine. Today, physicists are conducting remarkable experiments that involve slowing the passage of information, freezing light, and breaking the speed of light--and thus the time barrier. In the 1960s we had the \"space race.\" Today, there is a \"time race\" involving an underground community of working scientists who are increasingly convinced that a time machine of some sort is finally possible. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n Here, Randles explores the often riveting motives of the people involved in this quest (including a host of sincere, if sometimes misguided amateurs), the consequences for society should time travel become a part of everyday life, and what evidence might indicate that it has already become reality. For, if time travel is going to happen--and some Russian scientists already claim to have achieved it in a lab--then its effects may already be apparent.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46914079162526,"sku":"HPC-9780743492591","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780743492591.jpg?v=1780035985","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780743492591","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
