Time Travel in Einstein's Universe
Categories: Science & Math
Time Travel in Einstein's Universe: The Physical Possibilities of Travel Through Time is a 2001 book by J. Richard Gott, a professor of astrophysics at Princeton University. Gott explains why time travel is consistent with the laws of physics as Einstein described them. He shows how traveling to the future is possible at speeds close to light, and examines proposals for visiting the past, including wormholes and cosmic strings, a model Gott himself developed. He also discusses paradoxes and the origins of the universe.
