Basic ideas are that\n\n1. man repeats the same mistakes over and over and doesnt learn from his mistakes, despite technology.  Mankinds propensity for war is unstoppable, because it is in MAN'S nature.\n\n2. In the future, mankind will reap the rewards of thousands of years of war.....Humanity split into 2 groups representing the dual nature of man..The eloi ..as innnocent as Adam and Eve in the garden of eden, but with not moral sense of right or wrong....and the Morlocks...hideously evolved canabalistic humans that live underground and who resemble APES more than men, exploiting the eloi.\n\nAfter defeating the Morlocks, George returns to the future to rebuild Humanity future with 3 books from his library.\n\nThe question unanswered is, working with an inocent civilization like the Eloi, which three books would YOU choose, to avoid humanity duplicating its past.\n\nThe following is a synopsis of the story from a site dedicated to Rod Taylor who sterred in the movie.\n\n\n................\n\n\n"The Time Machine" (1960)\nRod Taylor plays George (H. G. Wells) in this science fiction classic, his first full-fledged starring role.\n\nAnd all the first-time leading man had to do was make us believe in time travel, deliver poignant social commentary, fight off fearsome mutant creatures, and convey the emotions of a longtime friendship as well as a new romance.\n\nOf course, Taylor succeeds as director George Pal delivers a film with Oscar-winning special effects wrapped up in a story with deliberate pacing and fine performances.\n\nTaylor faces a challenge from the start: He must burst upon the scene -- a very civilized Victorian-era dining room -- bearing the horrors and wonders he's seen as he's traversed the centuries. And despite his bloodied, battered, wearied state, Taylor must make it clear he's no mad scientist.\n\nThrough flashback, the tale starts on a small scale, literally, as George demonstrates a miniature version of the time machine. Among friends, he calmly poses the possibility of moving through time as easily as we move through space. But his friends scoff, and tell him he should put his talents toward helping the war effort.\n\nOne friend, Filby (Alan Young) comes closest to believing -- actually fearing -- that the machine really could work, and he stays behind to gently caution George. But determined to seek wisdom from the people of the future, George sets off to test his time machine -- on a large scale.\n\nMaintaining the pacing that roots the story in the plausible and familiar, Pal doesn't have George leap into the machine and race off to the distant future. No, he advances hesitantly at first. We're given visual cues of the passing of time -- a candle burning quickly, the sun racing across the sky. And we get cues that the machine does not pass through space -- sharing George's amusement as he watches the fashions change on the mannequin in the store window across the street.\n\nEmboldened, George jumps ahead in greater increments but stopping at familiar timeposts -- World Wars I and II -- where we encounter familiar faces and reminders that the place is the same. Nuclear war devastates everything during a stop in 1966, and George finally races ahead.\n\nWhen he reaches the year 802,701, London seems to have become a Garden of Eden. We're alone with George now, and we follow Taylor's reactions as the actor ranges through an arc of emotion. We feel George's wonder and amazement while exploring the exotic landscape, then his despair when he senses his isolation. His delight upon sighting the carefree Eloi gives way to anger as he leaps into action to rescue Weena (Yvette Mimieux) from drowning. Ultimately, he is perplexed at the apathy of Weena and her people.\n\nBack at a dinner table -- surrounded by Eloi rather than his old friends -- George at last gets his chance to satisfy his curiosity. He peppers his companions with questions. But their minds are e

I have not seen or met a time traveller. However their is such a thing as a gauche horizon. Basicaly when you create a time machine you cannot travel back before the time machine was created. So sence as far as I know, no time machine has been invented as of yet. It would be impossible for a time traveller from the future to experience what life is like in our historical period. For instance if the time machine was created in 2500 they may start having time travellers from the future coming back for anthropological surverys. However they could not visit 2006 because the time machine was not yet invented.

This was a very enjoyable book, I first read it about 15 years ago.  It is semi-autobiographical in that the author is a pilot and the narrator of the book is a pilot who meets a man with an interesting insight into the human condition and who appears to be a messiah.\n\nThe book is full of memorable lines and makes the reader contemplate life and why we are here.  I definitely recommend it. \n\nThe following link has a number of quotes from the book.

It's impossible to describe time because the past can be the present for someone, or the future for another person. The present can be the past for someone and the future for someone. Also, if time is always passing, then there is no stable moment in times passing because it goes down to the most infinently small amount of time in between things happening. As it goes down in infinity, time doesn't really exist, but it has to, otherwise everything would stop.\n\nI suppose that was confusing. Well, it's what I think.

Time is a human creation used to put a measurable scale to the sequence of events that happen in the universe.

Now that is something!?! Read Orson Wells's "1984" to see what happens when you start removing words from the language.... It is not the word that is to blame. It is greedy and senseless people that need to be strangled at birth if we could only know.

Think about what time traveling to the past means. It means that the entire universe except the time traveler is in a previous state. Now, for the time traveler, his time is still moving forward. He is older in the past after his journey than he was before his journey. \n\nSo, you have an entire universe one way and our traveler another. Since there was no past that existed that had his time traveler self in it, where has he gone? What is more reasonable is a time traveler experiment you can do yourself  by sending a smaller part of the universe into the past and watching that as you move foreward. Sound weird? Well, you can do it by resetting your computer. It goes into a past state and you keep moving foreward. This sort of time travel sounds like a cop out but it is just what is generally described on a smaller scale. That is, the entire universe but the traveler gets re-set to a previous condition.\n\nI know this answer doesn't satisfy the mystery feeling one gets with the time traveling notion, but it's what we really mean.

Of the three, I would say a dream viewer would be the most tangible.  Science is constantly making advances in neurology.  Time machines and teleportation devices would both defy laws of science.  Time travel itself would be a form of teleportation.  Would you want to trust a machine to reassemble your atomic/molecular structure?  I also would consider impossible for a machine to transport the human soul.

Yes...it means Time.\n\nChronology is the science of time, dates, sequences of events.\nIf a list of events were written in a chronological order, they would be written in the order in which they actually happened.

Your missing the point of the novel.\nWE ALL march to The Beat Of The diff. DRUM.\nHolden represents the time in life when you realize that and accept that you are the measure of all things. \nThis is a Philosopy and it is with merit.

If you are talking about the economist / theorist of the early 19th Century, you are thinking of Thomas Malthus.  (English, 1766-1834)\n\nMany science fiction books have been written based on his premises.
