The Science of Time Travel

“Just imagine if we had the same kind of freedom to move through time as we do to move through space.”

A favorite of sci-fi authors and movie directors, is time travel really possible? What are the scientific and philosophical implications? Dan Falk takes a look at what it would take to move forward through time (you know, faster than we already do), with input from H.G. Wells to Einstein.

He looks at whether moving backward in time could be possible in Part 2.

Bonus: This reminds me of my favorite Harry Potter link on the internet, ever: Temporal Anomalies in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
