H G Wells Time Traveler. 'Time travel' I have read two S F novels due to the extensive reading task of my English course. Even though they are more than 50 years apart, they are similar in some respects and are different in other respects. Both books are based on "time travel". The first one is a time Traveler of H G Wells. When he discovered how scientists traveled in time and space, when he went to the future, he discovered that the civilization collapsed. Another book I read was Ray Bradbury's "The Sound of Thunder".
If you have seen only one of the movies, you may conclude that this is an adventure story exploring the possibilities of time travel. H. G. Wells invented the future world as a background to make the future more interesting and create a suspense. But when you read this novel it is very clear that it is not what H. G. Wells wants. The time machine itself is just a pillar to advance the plot. It might be a time telescope that allows you to see the distant future or something else like Edward Peck Mitchell's dream of "reversing the clock" in 1881. It is important for H. G. Wells to explain the distant future of humanity, not technology.
Dr. Alexander Hartdegen went to the future and found a time when they learned how to change the past in a remake of the film of the 1960s supervised by the greatest grandchild of H. G. Wells. At 802, 701, he participated in a struggle between Eloi who lived on the surface and Morlock who lived in the basement. Captain Colter Stevens died in a helicopter crash accident and was inserted into the computer program (source code) transferred to the deceased's body in the last eight minutes of his life. Although he can not change the past, he can change things and change the future to avoid terrorist attacks.
Since H. G. Wells wrote his classic novel The Time Machine, people have been fascinated by time travel. This time travel dream has invaded all aspects of society, from mass media to micro media. With recent advances in science and technology scientists could theoretically prove that they can move over time. In 1905 Albert Einstein announced relativity theory. His theory predicts that it will be delayed as you approach high speed. (Brian) This is also called time expansion. (Encarta) When the object approaches the speed of light, the time decelerates to "snail speed" and at the speed where light speed stops, it moves in the opposite direction when the object moves faster than the speed of light. This is the key to building a time machine. If people can move faster than light speed, they will be back in time. An example of this time machine is sometimes called twin paradox. (time travel)
