Time Travel: The Science and Science Fiction

by Nick Redfern

Fact or fiction? Real or impossible? Movement through time explored, examined and explained!

Can time machines, time-tunnel wormholes or tales of fictional time-traveling heroes be so far-fetched?

If it were possible to label a book title as false advertising then this book likely would be it. Nick Redfern's "Time Travel: The Science & Science Fiction" is one of the worst books I've ever read simply because it's title is nowhere near what it entails. The book itself is about 2 chapters of science & the other 34 are conspiracy theories some of which are so farfetched that it takes things to extremes. The book is at times beyond painful to read which isn't helped by a writing style that is disconnected and almost feels like something that would delivered at sci-fi convention or something else. By far the worst book I've read in years and one that unless you are into the far flung conspiracy theories of time travel and the like skip this book at ALL costs.

Although some interesting stories were told, too many seemed to be stories that a drug addict would tell. It was more science fiction than science. It does reveal what kind of tactics corrupt agents might use, but this book didn't really point to that possibility. Also, many chapters tried to make a brief connection to time travel even though the story was about something else. It was entertaining and did cover a lot of different weird scenarios however.

I picked this up at the library because my son is into time travel. I'm not into conspiracy theories and I learned a lot about them by reading this. The structure of it is basically one conspiracy after the other and many of them are only tangentially connected to time travel but they sparked my curiosity, and I ended up googling a lot of them and went down a few rabbit holes. The tone is earnest throughout as if the author takes these all very seriously.

There’s no Science in this Book

This book seems to be more of a conspiracist’s views of events and rampant speculation outside of any scientific boundaries. Not worth the time to read.

False advertising alert There is no science in this book. Only a poorly written sequence of conspiracy theories.
