About this listen

In this comprehensive exploration of time travel in literature and film, we journey from H.G. Wells' groundbreaking "The Time Machine" to modern masterpieces like "Interstellar" and "Dark." The episode examines how time travel narratives have evolved from simple adventure stories to complex examinations of causality, free will, and human nature. We explore iconic works like "Back to the Future" and "Doctor Who," analyze the scientific theories that inspire these stories, and discuss how different cultures approach temporal storytelling. From early mechanical time machines to quantum theories and parallel universes, this episode reveals how time travel fiction continues to captivate audiences while reflecting our deepest hopes, fears, and questions about existence itself.
