Wormholes and Time Travel

By acclaimed author and scientist Paul Davies, Visiting Professor of Physics at Imperial College, London

The idea of time travel makes for great science fiction, but can it really be done? Paul Davies, Visiting Professor of Physics at Imperial College, will describe wormholes in space and other proposals that might allow travel into the past or future. A prominent contributor to the Royal Society's Measurement of Time discussion meetingt, Paul Davies is an internationally renowned writer and broadcaster, and author of many popular science books including About Time. He lives mainly in Adelaide, Australia, where he runs a science and media consultancy. His latest book, The Fifth Miracle, is about the origin of life.

tDiscussion Meeting Wednesday 20-21 September 2000 When did time begin? Can time's arrow be reversed? How is time measured physically, geologically, mechanically, archaeologically and anthropologically? Biological clocks regulate the circannual, circumlunar and circadian rhythms of life, and melatonin acts as time's messenger. We are now discovering how the genes make our circadian clock tick.

All are welcome to attend Admission is free and no advance booking required although parties of six or more are asked to notify the Society. As we do not issue tickets we suggest you arrive early to avoid disappointment. The Society reserves the right to refuse admission. Smart dress is required on the premises.
