Today's date is Friday, May 16, 2025
How to Build a Time Machine? : Yes, time travel is not only possible, it has been demonstrated through the known laws of physics. Other events...
Internationally acclaimed physicist, writer and broadcaster, Professor Paul Davies will reveal how it can be done in a mind-blowing presentation that will take the audience on an unforgettable ride into the far reaches of the Universe.

What to do you need to build a time machine? How do you build one?

A prolific and influential populariser of physics, Professor Davies was nominated by The Bulletin as one of Australia’s ten most creative people in 1996, and has been described by Washington Times as “the best science writer on either side of the Atlantic”. He has written over 25 books, both popular and specialist works, and these have been translated into more than 20 languages. Professor Davies also lectures to religious organisations around the world, and has had meetings with the Pope and the Dalai Lama.

Professor Davies will provide deep insights into the nature of reality and the nature of the physical Universe. Many paradoxes would arise if a time machine was actually built. Professor Davies explores the seriousness of these issues in an inventive and witty manner. He even addresses the ticklish question of why, if time travel is indeed possible, are we not swamped with tourists from the future?
