Russian scientist Igor Novikov is renowned for his groundbreaking research in astrophysics and amazing theories on the concept of time. His research has been praised as some of the most important work of this century - it opens up doors to a completely new understanding of our world and universe. Novikov believes that time is circular - that the future shapes the present. He also believes that man is capable of building a time machine.
Novikov's theories on the complex and often mind-blowing aspects of time travel are interwoven with memories from his own past as an orphan in Stalin's Russia where studies of the universe became a means of escape from reality. Incorporating rare and unique archive material from USA, Russia, Germany and Denmark, River of Time is a poetic journey into Novikov's theories, as well as his own experiences, of past, present and future.
“A fascinating and accessible introduction to a subject that confounds our sense experience of the world.” – Leonardo: Journal of the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology
