Science and Fiction

Even people who don't like science fiction love a good time travel story; everyone may wonder at some time what might happen if the events of history could be altered, or if we could know the future. Those more non-fictionally minded might wonder at the mechanics of time travel, or potential ethical implications or the possibility of paradox if such journeys were possible.

Five Reasons Time Travel is Cool 

  • It's an intriguing scientific concept.
  • It's an intriguing plot device in fiction.
  • It has implications beyond science or fiction.
  • It sounds like fun.
  • There's enough stuff about it on the internet for me to build a cool lens.

Steampunk 

from Wikipedia

Note from B7T: While steampunk doesn't necessarily involve time travel (H. G. Wells' The Time Machine notwithstanding), it does often address such time-crossing questions as: What if technological elements of the future had existed in the past?

Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used?usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England?but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H.
