With two remarkable ideas Albert Einstein revolutionized our view of the Universe: first, nothing can travel faster than light and second, spacetime is warped and stretched by the gravity. Despite these contributions, he could not have envisioned the twisting of spacetime: time-travel. Theoretical physicist Jim Al-Khalili finally lays science fiction to rest as he opens up Einstein's universe. Leading us gently and light-heartedly through the dizzying world of our space and time, he gives us the recipe for a time machine, capable of taking us Back to the Future, to Alice''s Wonderland, or on a trip with the Terminator.
