Time travel is a tricky thing. Einstein's math does not preclude it, but it has not, as yet, given us an easy way to do it. We can travel into the future by traveling at faster-than-light speeds. For us, time will slow, and for the place of our departure, it will continue. When we return, we will return to our future. Travel into the past, that's a bit more dicey. Will I change things? Enigmas like the Grandfather paradox (Can I go back and kill my grandfather, which leads to me not being around to kill him?) bother us logically, and travel into the past is beyond our current capabilities.
That's where archeology comes in. In a quite visceral sense, archeology helps us see back in time, puts us on the streets of ancient Santorini before Thera blew her top, or upon the sands of the Sinai in time to see Tutankamun's burial parade.
And thanks to modern technology, we have the Galactic Museum of History. Within its twelve stories, you'll visit the dark years of the Bio wars, the plucky artificial chicken Noosh, the mysterious ruins in the deserts of Mars, the exciting first discovery of intelligent life beyond Earth on a moon of Herculis, and the glorious meeting of two cultures on the Irs homeworld.
Through the eyes of the fine artist Steven Hobbs and the inspiring words of Sabina Hobbs, take a journey across the galaxy, through the ages, and into realms of fiction informed by science. Part Twilight Zone and part Star Wars, it is a wild and wonderful ride.
