Discuss Regarding Books Timeline

The very concept of time travel makes no sense, since time doesnt flow. The fact that we think time passes is just an accident of our nervous systems of the way things look to us. In reality, time doesnt pass; we pass. Time itself is invariant. It just is. Therefore, past and future arent separate locations, the way New York and Paris are separate locations.There is a reason why Crichton was a blockbusting bestselling author, he had a knack for explaining things that do not make sense in such a

In the world of pseudoscience, the subject of time travel is always entertaining , fascinating and downright shall we say, fun...Imagine going back to any year, in the distant, obscure past, (reachable now )...taking a peek, looking around the corner , at the mysteries, seeing actual situations and judging for yourself . What was real, not myths, legends or fabrications ( a polite word for lies), meeting important, famous people in history books, places that are long gone or in ruins now, yet

I was stunned at the lack of character description in this book. It's no wonder these novels are made so easily into screenplays. Granted, it's only the second Crichton novel I've ever read, so perhaps I should know better?The premise of Timeline was strangely dichotomous pro/anti-science. I'm not sure if the author is implying that people are what make innovations morally wrong, or that extreme innovations are morally wrong by themselves. This story is another instance of the low-tech

The next stop in my time travel marathon (November being Science Fiction Month) was Timeline, Michael Crichton's 1999 thriller. Crichton was not what I think of as a prolific writer; he published sixteen novels in his lifetime under this own name, beginning in 1969 with The Andromeda Strain. Perhaps the movies produced from most of these titles make it seem like Crichton was everywhere. I'd like to think that maybe the author devoted the time between novels conducting backbreaking research. With

Having enjoyed Jurassic Park, I wanted to read more Crichton. Timeline now being the second novel of hes that Ive read.What I found most fascinating were the complete flip between the two stories, as in Jurassic Park its about being the past being brought to the present. Whereas Timeline is very much a journey back in time and a perceived perceptions of that era being completely changed.As a group of history students are transported back to 14th-century France to rescue their professor.Weve all
