How to Build a Time Machine by Paul Davies is a 2002 physics book that discusses the possibilities of time travel.It was published by Penguin Books.In this book, Davies discusses why time is relative, how this relates to time travel, and then lays out a "blueprint" for a real time machine.
The Integratron machine was started in 1957, the structure erected in 1959. It was financed predominantly by donations, including funds from Howard Hughes. [1] [2] After Van Tassel's death in 1978, the building had a series of owners (and was left in various states of disrepair) before sisters Joanne, Nancy, and Patty Karl bought it in the ...
Mallett's plans for a time machine are based upon a ring laser's properties in the context of Einstein's general theory of relativity.Mallett first argued that the ring laser would produce a limited amount of frame-dragging which might be measured experimentally, saying: [9]
An objection to the practicality of building a Tipler cylinder was discovered by Stephen Hawking, who argued that according to general relativity it is impossible to build a time machine in any finite region that satisfies the weak energy condition, meaning that the region contains no exotic matter with negative energy. The Tipler cylinder, on ...
The group pull the switch, activate a trapdoor, and find blueprints for a time travel device that Ben was developing for a project called "Project Almanac," for DARPA, a government agency which allows them to build a functional time machine. They successfully send a toy car back in time, but cause a blackout in their neighborhood

Paul Davies, How to build a time machine, 2002, Penguin popular science, ISBN 0-14-100534-3 gives a very brief non-mathematical description of Gott's alternative; the specific setup is not intended by Gott as the best-engineered approach to moving backwards in time, rather, it is a theoretical argument for a non-wormhole means of time travel.
An oracle machine or o-machine is a Turing a-machine that pauses its computation at state "o" while, to complete its calculation, it "awaits the decision" of "the oracle"—an entity unspecified by Turing "apart from saying that it cannot be a machine" (Turing (1939), The Undecidable, p. 166–168).
