Time Travel: Eternally Cool

Ranked #33,526 in Entertainment, #399,175 overall

Science and Fiction

Even people who don't like science fiction love a good time travel story; everyone may wonder at some time what might happen if the events of history could be altered, or if we could know the future. Those more non-fictionally minded might wonder at the mechanics of time travel, or potential ethical implications or the possibility of paradox if such journeys were possible.

Five Reasons Time Travel is Cool

  • It's an intriguing scientific concept.
  • It's an intriguing plot device in fiction.
  • It has implications beyond science or fiction.
  • It sounds like fun.
  • There's enough stuff about it on the internet for me to build a cool lens.
