I've witnessed distortions in time first hand

Here's my review of this book, it's great. Now I would like to say that what is written in this book is quite possible and has been observed and experienced by people, namely myself. There is a small lake I like to walk around near where I live. It's just a short 2.5 mile single path loop. One day as I entered the path and began to walk I quickly overtook an elderly woman using a cane. She was hobbling along very slowly. I passed her at about the 1/4 mile mark. As I continued trucking along at a fast pace I soon came upon the 1 mile marker. Much to my surprise, ahead of me by about 50 yards was the same old woman with a cane! I overtook her again! Sounds impossible doesn't it? Either she teleported herself to the midway point on the path, or I was sucked into some kind of temporal time disortion loop or something, where I lost consciousness and re-emerged none the wiser. At any rate I have no idea how or what exactly happened, only that it did. I thank God for the experience, man. It was beautiful. Thanks God! (spoken while pointing both index fingers toward the heavens!)

Beyond incredible

I'm blown away. This is the first book I purchased on time travel. I was actually looking for a book on wormholes, and this was the closest (and best rated) that I could find. I feel foolish now to think that I was just looking for a book on one tiny subject in a gargantuan field.This book covers so much, it is difficult to swallow. The first section deals with theoretical physics concepts like general and special relativity. These concepts are explained well, for the most part. There are some shortcomings in the editing (like using a term before defining it, and not providing an index or glossary of terms), but it wasn't so bad that it became incomprehensible.From there, it moves to application of these concepts, The Philadelphia Experiment, and much more. I'm only about half-way through the book, but so far, it just keeps getting better and better. The portions on current research into vertical timelines and defying our conventional perception of physical space are mind-blowing. Even if this book is a complete lie, it is an amazingly well thought-out and thoroughly supported one! Highly recommended. (Don't let the embarrassingly stupid cover or laughable typography fool you, the content is completely professional and fascinating.)

An engaging tutorial which will have you hopping in no time!

Having been disappointed many times by books promising to reveal previously secret methods of time travel, astral projection, teleportation, and such, I approached this title with an understandable skepticism. What would distinguish this work from, for example, Danielski's 1989 work, "Teleportation and Time Tripping: A Manual," or Bearden's 1994 volume, "Other Bodies, Other Worlds: Crossing the Barrier of Time and Space." Imagine my delight when I found this work to be not another rehash of now tired Theosophian thinking, but rather a fresh and engaging effort to document some of the latest--and some of the most ancient--thinking in one of the most exciting frontiers of the emerging post-science, post-rationalism age. The editor has done a fine job of assembling many of the most important and relevant documents in this field, and I can unabashedly recommend this tome to anyone seeking to prepare themselves for the undoubtedly fantastic world which will be upon us as the New Millennium dawns.
