A Victorian Writer's Impossible Dream
In 1895, a young British writer published a story that would fundamentally rewire human imagination. Before H.G. Wells wrote "The Time Machine," nobody had seriously conceived of physically traveling through time the way you might journey to Paris or New York. Ancient myths told of people who slept for centuries or visited heavens where time moved differently, but deliberately navigating through time as one travels through space? That concept simply didn't exist. Wells didn't just write a novel-he invented an idea that would colonize minds for generations. Today, time travel saturates our culture so completely that children grasp it instinctively, appearing in everything from Saturday morning cartoons to Christopher Nolan's blockbusters. Einstein himself kept a copy of Wells' novel on his shelf, fascinated by this Victorian thought experiment that somehow anticipated relativity's stranger implications.
