Our Timeless Obsession With Time Travel (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

We want to time travel. Look around. From H.G Wells and his time machine, to Marty and Doc in "Back to the Future," to three – count them, three – new network time travel shows on TV this fall. The notion is irresistible and everywhere. And yet, when we try to describe what time is and how we might move through it – when we confront the realities of time itself – that’s hard. James Gleick is all over it. This hour On Point, time, and our obsession with time travel. -- Tom Ashbrook
