About This Book

An eccentric humanities scholar convinces two physicists to consider the philosophical and practical stakes of a proposed time-travel experiment, arguing that popular paradoxes obscure deeper consequences. The narrative traces academic debates and comic social fallout—a chapel intervention, a legal complaint, and a disputed perception of a dress color—as memory alteration, causality, and belief collide. Through satire and careful explanation it examines how scientific ambition, theological questions, and human misunderstanding interact, highlighting the contagiousness of ideas, the limits of explanation, and the unforeseen ethical and practical effects of treating metaphysical concepts as experimental problems.
