Time Barrier

From the creation of the highest mountains to the opening of a flowers petals, time controls the world around us. To understand this super-powerful force on Earth, we must wrench control of time ourselves - compressing, expanding, stopping and dissecting it, to reveal how the passing of time shapes our world and lives…

In 1905 Einstein found from relativity that there is an absolute light barrier. He reiterated his finden in 1916, writing, …We conclude that in the theory of relativity the velocity c plays the part of limiting velocity, which can neither be reached nor exceeded by any real body. Poincaré and Lorentz did not share Einstein s view of relativity in that regard. Nor, later, did Fermi and Teller it seems. There were others who hesitated to come forward. Then in a 1921 lecture and a 1922 look, sidelights on Relativity, Einstein wrote (pp. 35- 6), Poincaré is right.
