Sobre IBD

This book explores the idea of time travel from the first account in English literature to the latest theories of physicists such as Kip Thorne and Igor Novikov. This very readable work covers a variety of topics including: the history of time travel in fiction; the fundamental scientific concepts of time, spacetime, and the fourth dimension; the speculations of Einstein, Richard Feynman, Kurt Goedel, and others; time travel paradoxes, and much more.

  • Multidimensional Time
    Robert Kersten
    Time is a concept we all use every day to measure the passage of our days and lives without giving it much thought. Physics inherently does not limit time to going forward only, but it is treated that way since we do not understand time any other way.  Could time have multidimensions, just like space has?   What would it mean to move in multidimensional time?  This book on mult...

    N. David Mermin
    A readable and entertaining look at how Einstein’s special theory of relativity gives us a new understanding of the nature of timeRelativity ought to be an important part of everyone’s education. Its subject is time, with which we all think we are familiar. Einstein’s special theory of relativity reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are shockingly wrong. T...

  • It’s About Time
    N. David Mermin
    In It’s About Time, N. David Mermin asserts that relativity ought to be an important part of everyone’s education--after all, it is largely about time, a subject with which all are familiar. The book reveals that some of our most intuitive notions about time are shockingly wrong, and that the real nature of time discovered by Einstein can be rigorously explained without advance...
