A Brief History of Time Travel

Most of us have dreamed about time travel. The desire to visit the distant past or peep into the future has stayed with people from the beginning of time. The question is how to make this dream come true, and is it even possible? Time travel first appeared in ancient myths and continues today as it is one of the most popular motifs in science fiction. Director Giselle Bustillos introduces four main approaches to this phenomenon along with the paradoxes they bring. Interviews with experts introduce how our notion of time travel has changed over time, and how they deal with time itself. The relationship between science and pop culture is explored – think H. G. Wells and his time machine which inspires scientists to this day. (Academia Film Olomouc)
