SCIENCE AND FICTION THE TIME MACHINE HYPOTHES...

Every age has characteristic inventions that change the world. In the 19th century it was the
steam engine and the train. For the 20th  electric and gasoline power  aircraft  nuclear
weapons  even ventures into space. Today  the planet is awash with electronic business  chatter
and virtual-reality entertainment so brilliant that the division between real and simulated is
hard to discern. But one new idea from the 19th century has failed  so far  to enter
reality-time travel  using machines to turn the time dimension into a two-way highway. Will it
come true  as foreseen in science fiction? Might we expect visits to and from the future 
sooner than from space? That is the Time Machine Hypothesis  examined here by futurist Damien
Broderick  an award-winning writer and theorist of the genre of the future. Broderick homes in
on the topic through the lens of science as well as fiction  exploring some fifty different
time-travel scenarios and conundrums found in the science fiction literature and film.
