Gleick does not take this approach.įans of Gleick’s writing, of which I am one, appreciate his ability to clearly explain complex and far-reaching scientific concepts. As in other disciplines, these books stay mostly focused on the impact that the discipline can have on understanding time travel and how the possible existence of time travel might affect one’s thinking. In physics, for example, there are good examples of time travel being studied as a serious theoretical topic and as a way to teach, and lure, the uninitiated to consider and study physics. This, of course, has led to a vast amount of time travel themes in literature, philosophy, psychology, and physics. “Time Travel is sexy.” Time travel is one of those rare topics that not only bridges disciplines but captures the interest of the full range of academic training.
