Our Time Travellers Invitation print, which was created as part of Professor Stephen Hawking’s famous time travel experiment, has inspired curious minds and attracted the scientific community for years. It features in the permanent collection of the UK’s Science Museum, it’s been seen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and adorns the walls of countless time travel enthusiasts around the world. We're delighted that this print has achieved such wide renown.
June 28th is an important date for time travellers
In the realm of scientific speculation and cosmic exploration, few figures have captured the imagination as profoundly as the late theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking. Known for his groundbreaking work in theoretical physics, Hawking made numerous thought-provoking contributions to our understanding of the universe. Among his many captivating ideas, one that stands out is his reception for time travellers—an experiment that aimed to help unravel the mysteries of time travel.
“How can we learn to widen our perception of time and honour our obligations to the lives of those not yet born?”
...This quote comes from Hatchette, who are the publisher of The Long View by Richard Fisher—a book about time. It will be published on the 30th March 2023, at least from our linear point of view. (It's all relative, isn't it?)
Could this particle make backwards time travel a possibility?
Last week, Popular Mechanics reported that a mythical particle (dubbed a ‘tachyon’) could—in theory—travel back in time. There is speculation as to whether or not the tachyon particle actually exists, but scientists say that such a particle would be able to travel faster than the speed of light.
