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 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 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenny Randles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743492595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743492591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.53w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2005 pg. 1123","brand":"Jenny Randles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992321655039,"sku":"9780743492591","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4830e058-7eaa-452f-a3ea-1a94520f3d46.jpg?v=1683315345","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/breaking-the-time-barrier-jenny-randles-9780743492591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
