The Mechanics of Time Travel
Simon Wells is the great-grandson of H.G. Wells. He directed the 2002 film adaptation of his ancestor’s classic novel, The Time Machine. Wells has very specific ideas about how a time machine should be designed — but David Goldberg says the time transport vehicle might look more like a spaceship; Goldberg and Connie Willis also debate whether a visitor to the past would be able to reshape the future.
