Time Travel (from NOVA and others)

Here's one of the reasons why NOVA was one of the most enjoyable programs on television and why I loved it so much. I like to listen to scientists that have minds and imaginations without limits discuss what we just plain folks might think of as magical or maybe insane. The notion of time travel and how its practical application might be brought about has fascinated writers, moviemakers, scientists, teachers, spiritualists, politicians, and us plain ones, too. And NOVA took a crack at cracking open the impossible.

And, of course, don't forget Herbert George Wells', "The Time Machine," which Hollywood turned into a rather fun movie with Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimeux, she of the Elois. THE ENTIRE NOVEL IS AVAILABLE ONLINE (free) and you can buy the movie from Amazon.com.

"The Time Tunnel" starring James Darren (he, of Moondoggie fame) and Robert Colbert was a favorite television series of the 1960's. "Quantum Leap," starring Scott Bakula was another great time travel series on television (final year: 1994).
