"'Long ago I had a vague inkling of a machine,' [said the Time Traveller] '...that shall travel indifferently in any direction of Space or Time, as the driver determines...Would you like to see the Time Machine itself?' asked the Time Traveller. And therewith, taking the lamp in his hand, he led the way down the long, draughty corridor to his laboratory.
"I remember vividly...how there in the laboratory we beheld a larger
edition of the little mechanism which we had seen vanish from before
our eyes. Parts were of nickel, parts of ivory, parts had certainly
been filed or sawn out of rock crystal. The thing was generally complete,
but the twisted crystalline bars lay unfinished upon the bench beside
some sheets of drawings, and I took one up for a better look at it...
"'Upon that machine,' said the Time Traveller, holding the lamp aloft, 'I intend to explore time.'"
Thus the stage is set for H.G. Wells' famous novel The Time Machine, first published in 1895.
Wouldn't it be marvelous to travel in a time machine? To witness different civilizations of the past-perhaps view the construction of Egypt's great pyramids or gaze upon Solomon's magnificent temple? On the other hand, we might prefer to travel to the future and observe how mankind will have fared 20, 50 or 100 years from now.
Yet when all is said and done, we would be only bystanders, mere observers of what has happened or will happen in the future.
