For decades theoretical physicists, astrophysicists and philosophers have delved into the reality of time travel, the "how" of travelling through time. Kip Thorne, Carl Sagan and Steven Hawking - leaders in their fields - are among the new time travelers who, calling on special and general relativity and quantum mechanics, have designed theoretical bases for a variety of time machines. 'The New Time Travelers' follows these brilliant minds as they confront temporal paradoxes and questions of free will, probe black holes and time warps, and imagine a civilisation with the power to send signals into the past. 'The New Time Travelers' is sure to take readers on a mind-bending adventure to the very edge of physics.
