It's a reference book, not a fiction containing time travel. One thing the author said that struck me was..."science fiction without the science is just fantasy." Um, I disagreed with that. To me, fantasy has swords and magic and nothing to do with science. Unless of course the basis of magic was rooted in actual science. The thing that also struck me is that most scienctists can't even agree that FTL travel is possible, so does that mean any book that has a FTL drive on board a star ship is essentially a fantasy. Again, I don't believe it. I always use this arguement when I write something futuristic or scifi and do not explain how my propulsion system works. If I write a contemporary and my characters jump into a car to go some place, I don't feel compelled to explain how the engine or drive train work. I'm not going to do it on a space ship either. It slows down the plot and gets away from the action. <BR/><BR/>-KatKathleen Scott/MK Mancoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872072913152568070noreply@blogger.com
