I defined a series as consisting of at least three books. If I could not find a description for the series, I pasted a description of the first book in the series. Clicking on the title will bring you to one of the books in the series on Amazon. I did not provide descriptions for series of which only one book is a time travel tale. My Son the Time Traveler. Also, if I have left out any series, please let me know!
Both are for Middle Grade Ages Are your books available on Amazon? What a great list. I loved The Wrinkle in Time Series growing up and I have read some of the others on your list- but many were new to me. I have 3 kids in my class reading The Infinity Ring right now and they all love it. I hope to start the series soon! Thanks for the list! Also- I notice the author of In the Nick of Time commented.
The Caroline Cooney time travel quartet is more YA. And it looks fine in my browser! Thought you might enjoy the time travel books my husband Larry Names has written: Both are available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback. The Enchanted Theater series is a series that my son enjoys, about a cat named Aristotle who goes back in time to meet Greek mythology characters. I never heard of this series, Lynn, but I see it is in print and I will add it to my list!
A lot of people are interested in time-travelling cats so may appreciate your suggestion. There is one about a girl who gets an antique clock for her birthday and when she sets it she wakes up in a different time. First time she sits a test at school that they did the day before. Then she wakes up with bars around her and her legs are like jello.
She is a baby in a cot. Then she travels to the future where she wakes up in bed with a husband, has 2 kids and all her clothes in the wardrobe are grey. She goes back and decides not to marry him. Please can anyone help find this? Hopefully someone else will respond with more information. I read it too and have been searching for it for ages!! Can t remember the name of it though, it was a brilliant book would love to read it again!

Thanks Susan for your blog! Alan, Where would we be without wheels, after all. My son loves them. My son is really enjoying them as well. I highly recommend these two series even though they are both only 2 books each so far. Just shooting through novels on Time Travel. I just published one on Amazon 2 days ago it was written years ago. I have worked on outlines for this single series sequels. It is utterly different from anything out there.
It involves real people and real farm communities but the story is fictionalized. It pays tribute to the characters who once lived and died in the ss on this prairie farm. The caboose is from another century. It is an antique. Its trap door opens only once every 20 years. It guards a great secret. There are over geological Stages of Earth history spanning 4. Each novel takes them every 3 months from one Stage into another. The children must adapt and survive these alien environments.
The Holocene is the first environment that takes the reader back 11, years. The next 4 sequels deal with the 4 known major Ice Ages going back 2 million years. The 1st novel introduces the real characters that once actually lived on those farms. Nothing is fictionalized except the story line.

Because the effect is due to virtual particles mediating a static field effect, it is subject to the comments about static fields discussed above. In this experiment, the measurement of the state of one of the quantum systems of an entangled pair apparently instantaneously forces the other system which may be distant to be measured in the complementary state.
However, no information can be transmitted this way; the answer to whether or not the measurement actually affects the other quantum system comes down to which interpretation of quantum mechanics one subscribes to. An experiment performed in by Nicolas Gisin has demonstrated non-local quantum correlations between particles separated by over 10 kilometers.
A quantum physics experiment also performed by Nicolas Gisin and his colleagues has determined that in any hypothetical non-local hidden-variables theory the speed of the quantum non-local connection what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance" is at least 10, times the speed of light. The delayed-choice quantum eraser is a version of the EPR paradox in which the observation or not of interference after the passage of a photon through a double slit experiment depends on the conditions of observation of a second photon entangled with the first.
The characteristic of this experiment is that the observation of the second photon can take place at a later time than the observation of the first photon, [42] which may give the impression that the measurement of the later photons "retroactively" determines whether the earlier photons show interference or not, although the interference pattern can only be seen by correlating the measurements of both members of every pair and so it can't be observed until both photons have been measured, ensuring that an experimenter watching only the photons going through the slit does not obtain information about the other photons in an FTL or backwards-in-time manner.
Faster-than-light communication is, according to relativity, equivalent to time travel.

What we measure as the speed of light in a vacuum or near vacuum is actually the fundamental physical constant c. This means that all inertial observers, regardless of their relative velocity , will always measure zero-mass particles such as photons traveling at c in a vacuum. These transformations have important implications:. Therefore, not only the phase velocity , group velocity and energy flow velocity of electromagnetic waves but also the velocity of a photon can be faster than c in a special material has the constant permittivity or permeability whose value is less than that in vacuum.
Special relativity postulate that the speed of light in vacuum is invariant in inertial frames. That is, it will be the same from any frame of reference moving at a constant speed. The equations do not specify any particular value for the speed of the light, which is an experimentally determined quantity for a fixed unit of length. Since , the SI unit of length the meter has been defined using the speed of light. The experimental determination has been made in vacuum. However, the vacuum we know is not the only possible vacuum which can exist.
The vacuum has energy associated with it, called simply the vacuum energy , which could perhaps be altered in certain cases. This is known as the Scharnhorst effect. Such a vacuum can be produced by bringing two perfectly smooth metal plates together at near atomic diameter spacing. It is called a Casimir vacuum. Calculations imply that light will go faster in such a vacuum by a minuscule amount: A recent analysis [53] argued that the Scharnhorst effect cannot be used to send information backwards in time with a single set of plates since the plates' rest frame would define a "preferred frame" for FTL signalling.
However, with multiple pairs of plates in motion relative to one another the authors noted that they had no arguments that could "guarantee the total absence of causality violations", and invoked Hawking's speculative chronology protection conjecture which suggests that feedback loops of virtual particles would create "uncontrollable singularities in the renormalized quantum stress-energy" on the boundary of any potential time machine, and thus would require a theory of quantum gravity to fully analyze. Other authors argue that Scharnhorst's original analysis, which seemed to show the possibility of faster-than- c signals, involved approximations which may be incorrect, so that it is not clear whether this effect could actually increase signal speed at all.
Their experiment involved an optical phenomenon known as "evanescent modes" , and they claim that since evanescent modes have an imaginary wave number, they represent a "mathematical analogy" to quantum tunnelling. Winful and Robert Helling have argued that in fact there is nothing quantum-mechanical about Nimtz's experiments, and that the results can be fully predicted by the equations of classical electromagnetism Maxwell's equations. Nimtz told New Scientist magazine: Aephraim Steinberg, a quantum optics expert at the University of Toronto , Canada, uses the analogy of a train traveling from Chicago to New York, but dropping off train cars from the tail at each station along the way, so that the center of the ever-shrinking main train moves forward at each stop; in this way, the speed of the center of the train exceeds the speed of any of the individual cars.
Winful argues that the train analogy is a variant of the "reshaping argument" for superluminal tunneling velocities, but he goes on to say that this argument is not actually supported by experiment or simulations, which actually show that the transmitted pulse has the same length and shape as the incident pulse. Since the stored energy in the barrier is less than the energy stored in a barrier-free region of the same length due to destructive interference, the group delay for the energy to escape the barrier region is shorter than it would be in free space, which according to Winful is the explanation for apparently superluminal tunneling.
A number of authors have published papers disputing Nimtz's claim that Einstein causality is violated by his experiments, and there are many other papers in the literature discussing why quantum tunneling is not thought to violate causality. It was later claimed by Eckle et al.
All that could be measured was 24 attoseconds, which is the limit of the test accuracy. Again, though, other physicists believe that tunneling experiments in which particles appear to spend anomalously short times inside the barrier are in fact fully compatible with relativity, although there is disagreement about whether the explanation involves reshaping of the wave packet or other effects. Because of the strong empirical support for special relativity , any modifications to it must necessarily be quite subtle and difficult to measure. There are speculative theories that claim inertia is produced by the combined mass of the universe e.
If confirmed, this would imply special relativity is an approximation to a more general theory, but since the relevant comparison would by definition be outside the observable universe , it is difficult to imagine much less construct experiments to test this hypothesis. Although the theory of special relativity forbids objects to have a relative velocity greater than light speed, and general relativity reduces to special relativity in a local sense in small regions of spacetime where curvature is negligible , general relativity does allow the space between distant objects to expand in such a way that they have a " recession velocity " which exceeds the speed of light, and it is thought that galaxies which are at a distance of more than about 14 billion light-years from us today have a recession velocity which is faster than light.
Another possibility predicted by general relativity is the traversable wormhole , which could create a shortcut between arbitrarily distant points in space. As with the Alcubierre drive, travelers moving through the wormhole would not locally move faster than light travelling through the wormhole alongside them, but they would be able to reach their destination and return to their starting location faster than light traveling outside the wormhole.
Gerald Cleaver and Richard Obousy, a professor and student of Baylor University , theorized that manipulating the extra spatial dimensions of string theory around a spaceship with an extremely large amount of energy would create a "bubble" that could cause the ship to travel faster than the speed of light. To create this bubble, the physicists believe manipulating the 10th spatial dimension would alter the dark energy in three large spatial dimensions: Cleaver said positive dark energy is currently responsible for speeding up the expansion rate of our universe as time moves on.
In , a paper on Heim theory theorized that it may be possible to travel faster than light by using magnetic fields to enter a higher-dimensional space. The possibility that Lorentz symmetry may be violated has been seriously considered in the last two decades, particularly after the development of a realistic effective field theory that describes this possible violation, the so-called Standard-Model Extension. In some models of broken Lorentz symmetry, it is postulated that the symmetry is still built into the most fundamental laws of physics, but that spontaneous symmetry breaking of Lorentz invariance [73] shortly after the Big Bang could have left a "relic field" throughout the universe which causes particles to behave differently depending on their velocity relative to the field; [74] however, there are also some models where Lorentz symmetry is broken in a more fundamental way.
If Lorentz symmetry can cease to be a fundamental symmetry at Planck scale or at some other fundamental scale, it is conceivable that particles with a critical speed different from the speed of light be the ultimate constituents of matter. In current models of Lorentz symmetry violation, the phenomenological parameters are expected to be energy-dependent. Therefore, as widely recognized, [75] [76] existing low-energy bounds cannot be applied to high-energy phenomena; however, many searches for Lorentz violation at high energies have been carried out using the Standard-Model Extension.
In this approach the physical vacuum is viewed as the quantum superfluid which is essentially non-relativistic whereas the Lorentz symmetry is not an exact symmetry of nature but rather the approximate description valid only for the small fluctuations of the superfluid background. It was shown that the relativistic gravitational interaction arises as the small-amplitude collective excitation mode [78] whereas relativistic elementary particles can be described by the particle-like modes in the limit of low momenta. In the MINOS collaboration reported results measuring the flight-time of 3 GeV neutrinos yielding a speed exceeding that of light by 1.
Further measurements are going to be conducted. In special relativity, it is impossible to accelerate an object to the speed of light , or for a massive object to move at the speed of light. However, it might be possible for an object to exist which always moves faster than light. The hypothetical elementary particles with this property are called tachyonic particles. Attempts to quantize them failed to produce faster-than-light particles, and instead illustrated that their presence leads to an instability.
Various theorists have suggested that the neutrino might have a tachyonic nature, [94] [95] [96] [97] while others have disputed the possibility. Mechanical equations to describe hypothetical exotic matter which possesses a negative mass , negative momentum , negative pressure and negative kinetic energy are [99]. The pressure of radiation pressure in the metamaterial is negative [] and negative refraction , inverse Doppler effect and reverse Cherenkov effect imply that the momentum is also negative. So the wave in a negative index metamaterial can be applied to test the theory of exotic matter and negative mass.
For example, the velocity equals. That is to say, such a wave can break the light barrier under certain conditions. General relativity was developed after special relativity to include concepts like gravity. It maintains the principle that no object can accelerate to the speed of light in the reference frame of any coincident observer. Another possible system is the wormhole , which connects two distant locations as though by a shortcut. Both distortions would need to create a very strong curvature in a highly localized region of space-time and their gravity fields would be immense.
To counteract the unstable nature, and prevent the distortions from collapsing under their own 'weight', one would need to introduce hypothetical exotic matter or negative energy. General relativity also recognizes that any means of faster-than-light travel could also be used for time travel. This raises problems with causality. Many physicists believe that the above phenomena are impossible and that future theories of gravity will prohibit them.
One theory states that stable wormholes are possible, but that any attempt to use a network of wormholes to violate causality would result in their decay. Jul 31, Mohamed Doucore rated it really liked it. I like Max Quick and the Pendant because it deals with aliens and ancient artifacts. For example, on page Max finds out that he's Niburian not human and is 12, years old.
Another example is on page when Jonny Siren is granted immotality but is taken away. One challenge was that it has hard word that are hard to pronouce like Niburian and a vagabond.
The fastest passenger plane in the sky? It might surprise you
One charecter that intersted me was Jonny Siren. He interst me because he was a evil man in search of Niburian artifacts and in the end he end I like Max Quick and the Pendant because it deals with aliens and ancient artifacts. He interst me because he was a evil man in search of Niburian artifacts and in the end he ends up sacaficing his life for his daughter Casey. Dec 24, Collette rated it really liked it Shelves: It's so refreshing to see new ideas in children's science fiction. The plot is somewhat based on science, and the mini-societies and alliances that come into existence when time stops are exactly in line with human behavior.
This book offers lots of fast-paced action and a solid plot for any sci fi lover, and I can't wait for the sequel! Jul 09, Michelle rated it really liked it. I feel like I put this on my list to read forever ago! But, our library just barely got it in. It was a fun read - even with all of the "yup, I saw that comin'"! Marissa liked it too, and I love to talk books with her.
Mar 13, Zach rated it it was amazing. May 02, Kaethe marked it as to-read. I have no opinion on the book yet, but the ubiquitous ad is creeping me out. Max Quick Journeys to the Uncanny Valley is what they should call that picture. Those faces on the cover are horribly wrong in some way. I listened to the podiobook version of this book -- my favorite to date!!!!
Then I bought the hardcopy on Amazon and re-read it recently. Both are different experiences but each great in their own way. Except now I hear Mr. Jeffery's voice in my head whenever i read the book ;. This was a great audio book. I listened to it while biking to and from work and it kept me captivated the entire time. Sep 15, Noel Romey rated it liked it Shelves: I read this book when it came out as a podcast audiobook. I don't remember much about it, perhaps I should read it again, but I do remember I liked it.
Oct 10, Amy-chan rated it it was amazing. I really love this book. He had a lot of interesting concepts in the plot of the story. I love the characters. Aug 10, Barbara Monk added it. This book I would recommend to anyone.
Me and my son devoured it in under a day! I want more by this author. Aug 20, Tom rated it it was amazing Shelves: I hardly ever give anything 5 stars. This was an awesome book about time stopping. It possibly has my vote for this year's MSBA book. What a great book to start off the series! I can't wait to read the second book. Dec 14, sehrlich marked it as to-read. I can't wait to read this book by Mark Jeffrey!!! Aug 24, Camden rated it really liked it. I mean who wouldnt like this? Jul 14, Camille rated it it was amazing Shelves: Nice for intermediate reader and beyond who like fantasy but are not ready to tackle the page books yet.
Jan 30, Allison Armstrong rated it it was amazing Shelves: I think fifth grade boys will really like this book. It has a lot of action and the whole time thing is interesting to think about.
