"Are you curious about time travel? Think Black Holes and Worm Holes are cool? Then this book is for

you.

Do you wish you could learn about science without having to muddle through dry texts and understand

science jargon? Then this book is for you.

Enter the fascinating world of twins who age differently, Jupiter sized spaceships, multiverses, and other

quirks of physics. The time travel tour includes a chapter on the ethics of time travel. Learn about the

""butterfly effect"" as well as other insightful thoughts on why different types of time travel carry their

She wrote it in part to givepeople who are interested in physics and time travel, but who are not scientists, a way to learn about andenjoy the topic.Ms. Shugart is not a trained scientist but believesthat much of the world is interconnected and thatto learn about science is to understand art better.Just as learning about mathematics allows a deeperconnection to music and so on. The more diverslyyou learn, the more fascinating and evident disparateconnections become.In addition to her interest in time travel, theauthor enjoys travel, cozy mysteries, parenting, entrepreneurship, photography, and lifelong learning.She also believes in the value of being ""weird"".She really hopes you enjoy this book."

Reviews for The Future of the Impossible: The Physics and Ethics of Time Travel

Every sci-fi nerd's dream! We have all contemplated time travel at one point or another. Dannelle/the writer takes us through those additional steps needed to bring general interest to a more specialized understanding of the ethics surrounding time travel and renewed curiosity in its possibilities for further study. The writer/She is able to kindly introduce high-level academic concepts to the reader via engaging metaphors that are easily grasped and facilitate an adventure through the 'impossible' physics of time travel while keeping things grounded in reality. -Morgan A. Turner Mrs. Shugart eloquently explains the possibilities of time travel. Through brief, extended hypothetical examples she makes time travel seem possible. She deconstructs the highly technical theories that surround time travel into illustrated concepts that the average person can entertain. She makes the impossible seem possible. -Denise Wright
