  • That's a good one.  I like most of Bradbury that I came across.

    You ever read  Martian Time-slip?

  • Time Slip - unfamiliar. I rather liked the movie "Time Line" (Chriton) though there are several huge plot gaps.  I have enjoyed a lot of Bradbury, especially "Something Wicked This Way Comes". Though I found this, a other of his stories end very weakly, as if he ran out of time or just was lost for a conclusion.

  • Martian Time-slip.   It's by Philip K. Dick
    It's about a space colonies,  authoritarian government, time travel, schizophrenia.   All the stuff that makes Dick the master.

    Not really a fan of Chriton to be honest but never read that one.

    I've seen a few photoshopped images online from the 1800's with modern people inserted in them.
    Nothing that proves time travel.

  • I like the Back To The Future movies and several of the time travel themes in the Stargate series, but other than that, it's not that interesting. :)

  • The back to the future trilogy was an excellent example... Brilliant plotting and scripting in my opinion :)

  • Abs if guy want to read a superb time travel story... The technicolour time machine... A movie studio had a time machine... They go back in time to film or recreate historical and sell them as movies... It's only after they've done the jesus story that they realise they are creating the events... Not recreating them!
    Is a great read :)

    Believe it or not, this was what I was going to write -- even BEFORE I saw all the answers and the thread ~



    "Ray Bradbury's short story 'A Sound of Thunder' is glorious!"



    I'll add, that that story blew the little shorts off of me when I first read it when I was about 15 years old. The story has never left my memory. This post was edited by WelbyQuentin at April 12, 2017 7:35 AM MDT

    It really depends on the story. I don't believe time travel is possible.
