Time Travel Unraveled

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 3 –14

[Shortly before the turn of the twentieth century, in 1895, the first time machine story was published by Herbert George Wells, titled (I’m sure you’ve guessed) The Time Machine. Science fiction, as a distinct commercial and literary means of speculative story-telling, has a long pre-history, at...

The Scientific Basis for Time Machines

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 15 –24

[Space and time are interchangeable (except for our inability, so far, to double back chronologically as we can spatially). So Einstein told us. An interval that one observer sees as a gap in space between two places can be seen just as validly as a gap in time between two moments. It is a truly...

Closed Timelike Loops

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 25 –36

[In the insane vortex of the black hole interior, then, time’s arrow is twisted like a pretzel. If intelligence in the distant future ever learns to ride those currents—perhaps by the deliberate construction of a naked singularity, or a Tipler time gate (see below)—time travel may become...

Don’t Change the Past

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 37 –48

[The most lucid book on black holes and time warps, published by Professor Kip Thorne in 1994, is titled, unsurprisingly, Black Holes and Time Warps, and remains both enjoyable and authoritative more than 20 years later. Startlingly, perhaps, the final chapter is titled “Wormholes and Time...

The First Half Century (and a Bit)

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 51 –80

[In 1888, the brilliant working class English youth Herbert George Wells was 21 years old when he invented the notion of a powered machine that might convey its inventor into the future or the past and back home again. The serialized but unfinished short story where he displayed this idea was...

Empires of Time

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 81 –105

[One of the most persistent themes in science fiction and philosophical reflection alike is the question “What If—?” Give me a time machine, as Archimedes did not say, and I will change the past. But is it genuinely possible to modify what is already part of the historical record, even with time...

Behold the Time Machine

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 107 –118

[In 1988, Spain is celebrating the four centuries of its victory since her invincible Armada crushed England’s fleet, making the monarchy the world’s dominant empire. In this alternative history by John Brunner (1934–1994), a major player in Spain’s triumph was and remains the Society of Time, of...

Time’s Up

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 119 –134

[Best known (mostly to his chagrin, I imagine) for his invention of Star Trek’s furry tribbles, David Gerrold (b. 1944) wrote what his publisher called “The Last Word in Time Machine Novels.” There have been many additional sf novels and words about time machines in the subsequent 45 and more...

Highways to the End of Time

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 135 –148

[“Fire Watch,” sometimes given mistakenly as “Firewatch,” won both Hugo and Nebula awards for best sf novelette of the year. The subsequent novel-length books set in the same time travel framework, but tonally diverse, have been equally successful among voting readers and critics. They are, to...

Windows Into the Past

Broderick, Damien

Pages: 149 –160

[In 1917, the German baby Odilo Unverdorben (“Uncorrupted”) died in the brutal depths of the First World War and was absorbed into his mother’s uterus. Later, he became John Young, then Hamilton de Souza, and finally, absurdly, was born as Tod T. Friendly after a heart attack. Todt, of course, is...
