We meet our university protagonists at a dig in France. ITC has been steadily buying up property around the world and funding archeological digs to learn more about possible “time travel” locations. And he plans to sell these authentic trips to the past, like tycoon John Hammond’s Jurassic Park or Walt Disney’s Disneyland. He argues people will turn to the past for rare and desirable experiences of authenticity. ITC’s CEO Robert Doniger, inventor of this quantum technology, believes people of the twentieth century will grow bored of current entertainment and crave anything that isn’t controlled by corporations. This remarkable adventure is not technically time travel, but rather the ability to travel to a nearly identical past. Crichton dared to imagine a possibility of quantum foam wormholes connecting to a plethora of universes where different time periods all exist simultaneously. Crichton explores this new frontier and includes many interesting footnotes for curious readers to follow up with. It can behave very differently than the physical world we know. The quantum world is an interesting place, one that scientists still don’t fully understand today. Combing these two remarkable feats they are able to send a person through a wormhole in space between two quantum foam particles – much like a fax machine.
Not only that, but they also managed to manipulate and enlarge quantum foam particles. With the near-instantaneous computing commutation and revolutionary massive data banks, the company has managed the long-awaited sci-fi dream of “copying” an entire person. It is a world – our present, mind you – exploding in advances of technology.Ī daring tech company has succeeded in creating a quantum computer. Michael Crichton’s Timeline opens on the threshold of the twenty-first century. Timeline Will Now Be Discussed With Mild SPOILERS (the ending is not discussed) ** This magnificent adventure combines a science of the future – the emerging field of quantum technology – with the complex realities of the medieval past. Timeline carries the reader into a realm of unexpected suspense and danger, often altering our most fundamental ideas of what is truly possible. Book Review: Timeline By Michael Crichton 5/5 Stars leave it to Crichton to revitalize the past with such a vigorous and entertaining novel and a possible prescience for the infinite possibilities of science.
