"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 has baffled mystics, philosophers, and scientists throughout history--What is the nature of time?
In Time: A Traveler's Guide, Pickover takes readers to the forefront of science as he illuminates the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe--time itself. Is time travel possible? Is time real? Does it flow in one direction only? Does it have a beginning and an end? What is eternity? Pickover's book offers a stimulating blend of Chopin, philosophy, Einstein, and modern physics, spiced with diverting side-trips to such topics as the history of clocks, the nature of free will, and the reason gold glitters. Numerous diagrams ensure readers will have no trouble following along.
By the time we finish this book, we understand a wide variety of scientific concepts pertaining to time. And most important, we will understand that time travel is, indeed, possible.

Quantum Physics Can Be Fun

An outstanding book - I have never before read a book that dealt with such advanced concepts that was so easy to read and comprehend and as hard to put down (I read it in a weekend). Dr. Pickover's style of making the first half of each chapter a sci-fi story, with the second half "the science behind the story" makes this book fun and teaches you without having to work. Definately inspires creative thought.

I have a few more Pickover books on order and look forward to more. (...)


Awesome through and through

If you ever wanted to learn more about time travel, pick up this book! Time: A Traveller's Guide combines mathematics with an intruiging plot. He weaves some non-fiction into the math and information to make it all the more interesting. I have had the privilige to contact Mr. Pickover myself and he is an amazing man! This book is one of the best I have read!

One of the BEST books about temporal mechanics Ive ever read

Pickover brings to life time travel in stunning detail. It not only contains and engrossing yet comical plot, but is punctuated by a consistent simplicity for reader's of all ages. The mathematics can get a little heavy and times (don't get me wrong I love math), but it is well worth it. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to explore the depths of their mind.


One of the BEST books about temporal mechanics Ive ever read

This book is one of the bet novelles I have read about temporal mechanics in years. The engrossing yet comical plot will keep you enthralled for hours on end. At times the math gets a tad overwhelming (even for a lover of math such as myself), but it is well worth the knowledge you take away from it.

Excellent Layman's Exploration of the Concept of Time

Anybody with a high school diploma can read this book and walk away with a good understanding of the concept of time and time travel. Cliff presents these complex concepts and theories in ordinary terms and practical examples that are easy to comprehend and won't leave you with brain burn out. I've read other books on this topic(including a Brief History of Time) and none of them were able to make me understand these concepts like this book was. After reading this book, I feel intimately familiar with the possibilities of Time Travel and the theories behind it.
