Choosing for June 2023

[Cheryl]

Non-fiction!

[Cheryl]

Let's get some ideas out here. I know there are at least a couple of titles mentioned earlier in the group if only I could remember them. Or travel back in time to when we were discussing them....

[Cheryl]

Random-ish finds from the web, uninvestigated and unvetted:

"Time Travel in Einstein's Universe" by J Richard Gott
Hyperspace by Michio Kaku
In Search of the Edge of Time by John Gribbin
Time machines, time travel in physics, metaphysics, and science fiction by Paul J Nahin
Ryan Wasserman, PARADOXES OF TIME TRAVEL

[Cheryl]

The one we mentioned earlier was probably
Parallel Worlds: A Journey through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio Kaku.
Also mentioned was A Brief History of Time Travel by John Rasor.

I used Time Machines by Paul J. Nahin (and other non-fiction sources).

[Cheryl]

Time Machines: Time Travel in Physics, Metaphysics, and Science Fiction for the link.

Thanks!

[Cheryl]

Bump! I should put a poll up soon. I see only three titles above that look worth listing as they've been actually mentioned by group members.

[Heather(Gibby)]

I'll be sitting this one out as I am not interested in non-fiction time travel books, its the fantasy of it that lures me in. Best wishes to those who do want to pursue this path

[Cheryl]

Poll is up! Please vote soon, so we each have a chance to find a copy of the winning title!

I have to agree

[Pat of Rocks]

Where can I find the poll link?

[Cheryl]

Sorry about that; thanks Deborah!

[Deborah]

no problem.

I know we have already voted for June non-fiction read but I just came across a book which might be interesting for a future non-fiction time travel read, except it might not be about "time travel" but seems to be about our perception of time: Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock

[Cheryl]

Good catch, thank you! I don't think it applies to TT, but it's surely of interest to some of us who like to explore ideas about time in a more general sense.

[Cheryl]

And the winner is Parallel Worlds: A Journey through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos.

Discussion leader defaults to me, so I better brace myself. (It's only avl. as an ebook to me, either from my library or from openlibrary, and I find ebooks difficult to read.)

I hope you can find it in your preferred format: it is also avl. as paper and audio.

My library had a hard copy of this so I will give it a go. Thanks!

[Cheryl]

Great!
