Time Traveling Through High Speed: Transparency and Opacity in H.G. Wells's Science Fiction

Message:
Abstract:

H.G. Wells, as the forefather of science fiction has used the relativity of time in his stories, and has manifested how through shattering the boundaries between time and place, the technological advances have changed the notions of classical physics into modern physics. These changes are inserted via opacity, resistance to the gravitational force and also freedom in movement to and fro in the time zone. In this article, Wells's science fiction stories which show the transformation of the human into machines, otherness, and resistance to gravity which would result in the devastation of the whole humanity have been studied, with the aim of coming to this conclusion that the main reason of the time traveling of the humans is opacity in Wells's science fiction.
