The Mind-Bending Reality of Time Travel

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 26, 2016

Science writer James Gleick discusses his latest book, Time Travel: A History. He weaves together the long fascination that science fiction has had with time travel - from H.G. Wells to “Doctor Who” to Jorge Luis Borges - with what physics actually reveals about time travel and whether it could ever be a reality.

Event: On Tuesday, September 27th at 7:30 p.m. James Gleick will be in conversation with Janna Levin at the Brooklyn Public Library (10 Grand Army Plaza) in the Dweck Auditorium.
