<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Einstein penned a letter in his final days. <p/>In it, he wrote, The distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. <p/>The Machine That Breaks Time asks the question: What if he was right? <p/>While most of the writing on the subject is entombed in academic texts, The Machine That Breaks Time uses short installments, plain-spoken language and pop culture references to paint an astounding picture of four-dimensional spacetime for the curious layperson. The book is a roadmap to consider - and finally visualize - the impossible implications of something called Block Universe Theory. <p/>The book then harnesses this vision of time and leaps headlong into another mystifying topic: the singularity (the moment technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible). <p/>For the first time, everything from the existence of free will, to reincarnation, to time travel is examined through both of these lenses at once. <p/>In the end, the author invites the reader to consider how the rise of artificial intelligence will expose this stubbornly persistent illusion. And then, how it might be exploited - to turn time inside out.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Darnis Krice spends a lot of time thinking about time. Maybe, too much. He spans from the Midwest to Brooklyn to somewhere outside the US, I suspect. He may or may not weigh more than a Buffalo nickel. <p/>Darnis loves his children more than anything in the world, but is not entirely convinced they exist. He's optimistic about the future - in a way. He hopes to be brought back to life. To provide a shoulder for Socrates to cry on.
