The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author's earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no tech notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of Time Machines. Writing about time travel is, today, a respectable business. It hasn't always been so. After all, time travel, prima facie, appears to violate a fundamental law of nature; every effect has a cause, with the cause occurring before the effect. Time travel to the past, however, seems to allow, indeed to demand, backwards causation, with an effect (the time traveler emerging into the past as he exits from his time machine) occurring before its cause (the time traveler pushing the start button on his machine's control panel to start his trip backward through time). Time Machine Tales includes new discussions of the advances by physicists and philosophers that have appeared since the publication of Time Machines in 1999, examples of which are the chapters on time travel paradoxes. Those chapters have been brought up to date with the latest philosophical thinking on the paradoxes. "This work is an indispensable study for scholars and fans of time-travel SF, and readers will gain a deeper insight into both the literary history of time travel and the science involved." 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Popular works. 650 0 Time travel|xPhilosophy. 650 0 Time travel in literature. 650 0 Science fiction|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Science-xPhilosophy. 700 1 Lescault, John. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Paul J., Nahin.|tScience and Fiction.|sSpoken word ; 830 0 Science and fiction (Springer (Firm)) 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14853646?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781799916284_180.jpeg
