Despite the appearance of the book and its name, this is really only for hardcore scientists. It explains the concept of relative time, the concept of String Theory and the 47 dimensions that come with it and the concept of ionizing light itself and making the possibility of 'plasma light'. After Davies explains these concepts in-depth, and then couples them with the reality and science behind parallel 'dimensions' connected with wormholes and what this has to do with time travel. This book is not to be mistaken with a science-fiction story, as it presents papers from scientists from Steven Hawking to Richard Feynman and is really an eye opening read. I do not recommend this book to the students of 9S as it is really a science-geek physics book, using complex theorems to describe the universe that we live in around us. I had to read it twice to fully grasp the concepts that Davies are explaining, but it is very interesting...
