The editor's slant on 'The Time Machine.' (a commentary on the editor's footnote about the novel 'The Time Machine')

Article Abstract:

The footnote placed on a science fiction work called 'The Time Machine,' served as a reformulation of the book to bring out its authenticity and create a stronger story. Time travel was analyzed according to what direction one follows when time travelling while applying scientific explanations. Although in science, where inertia does not allow one to remain in the same place, time travel states that movement follows a downward slope to maintain a level, thus traveling in a different time frame.
