But the journey has a terrible cost. It alters not only the future but he present in which we live.A century after the publication of H. G. Wells immortal The Time Machine, Stephen Baxter, todays most acclaimed new hard SF author, and the acknowledged Clarke, returns to the distant conflict between the Eloi and the Morlocks in a story that is at once an exciting expansion, and a radical departure based on the astonishing new understandings of quantum physics. Stephen Baxters The Time Ships acts as an offical sequel to H.G. Wells The Time Machine. Although the narrative does ramble on a bit and the novel could have benefited from some tightening up in the structure, its a very good novel and well worth reading.MINOR SPOILERS:Picking up where The Time Machine left off, The Time Traveler returns to the future he left behind only to find that sharing his story has, somehow, changed the future; the Morlocks still exist but they live in peace with the Eloi and Weena is nowhere to be found in this new future. At first confused and believing that the Morlocks are attacking him when he arrives, he defends himself only to find that he was surrounded by and injured Morlock children who were only curious about the visitor. He is quickly subdued and taken prisoner by the Morlocks.Placed in a featureless room where food mysteriously appears and waste disappears, The Time Traveler finds that he is the subject of scientific curiosity and has a Morlock assigned to study him named Nebogipfel. It turns out that Nebogipfel wants to learn the physics and secret beyond the Time Machine itself so that the Morlocks can use it. Not trusting Nebogipfel, the Time Traveler crreates a plan to dupe them into taking him back to his machine so he can escape not realizing that his further adventures in time create massive changes creating alternate timelines from each trip.END OF SPOILERS:Baxters style is engaging and he adopts Wells voice from The Time Machine to tell his story. Indeed, he begins the novel with a preface indicating that he discovered the manuscript in 1995 and is presenting it unedited.Baxters novel isnt flawless however as many of the characters are somewhat one or two dimensional although he does a good job of developing the main character and even the mysterious Morlock reluctant companion Nebogipfel.As I mentioned the complex plot does keep you interested but, be aware, that the narrative could have been tightened up by eliminating some of the subplots that dont amount to much when it comes to the outcome of the novel. Most of the subplots, however, turn out to be important to the conclusion and to living up to the title of the novel.Id give The Time Ships 3 1/2 stars--its a good, solid novel that could have benefited from better character development and pruning of the plot here and there. Still, for fans of Wells looking to find out what might have happened at the conclusion of The Time Machine, The Time Ships certainly will be a worthwhile investment of time.

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

He leaves again the next day, and though he says he will return, the Time Traveller is never seen again. Chapters 1 and 2: We meet four men at dinner discussing time travelling.

Paths Not Taken—John M. Logsdon I want to ask all of you to join me for a few minutes in a men- tal experiment. There is a certain sense of determinism as we review a period of history, like the forty years of U.S. human spaceflight. There is an implicit assumption that there were no alternatives to the way things happened. If you step back even half a step, you know that’s not true; that along the way, history could have been very different if different choices had been made, if different events had happened. So I have arbitrarily picked a few situations in those forty years and invite you to ask along with me: “What if things had been different?” This notion of counterfactual history has some legitimacy. I have used it as a class assignment for my students in space policy, asking them to write about what might have occurred if different choices had been made. Dwayne Day, a former student and now a colleague, has suggested a whole symposium on counterfactual space history, and that might be an interesting thing to do someday.

Jeter in a 1987 letter to the Locus coined the phrase steampunk. Thus, this work of his published in 1979 raises quite a bar of expectation. In addition, the book is a supposed continuation of H.G. Wells' Time Machine, so you have a considerable level of hype developed. Unfortunately, the book will not suit those looking for a more in depth political analysis. The story is simple and short. Basically, the Morlocks get the Time Machine and plan an invasion of 19th century London. They are stopped in their tracks by the heroic King Arthur with his ever loyal mage, Merlin. The End. The ending its self is quite abrupt and comes right after the twist. All in all, the book is okay, but don't get too thrilled.
