eferences to time travel abound in popular culture; examples are found in literature, television
and movies. There was the original H.G. Wells'
The Time Machine, Mr. Peabody's WABAC Machine of
the "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show," and, in movies, timetravel themes are ubiquitous.
Protagonists in these stories travel time for varying
reasons: to influence some previous event to "fix" a past,
present or future outcome, or they merely wish to explore
the state of things in a time different than their own.
