So, (God, I start way too many sentences with that) I'm working on a new series idea. To put it most simply, it is about time travel.
I'm trying to have all of the temporal theory, rules, etc. make sense without going into an incredible amount of detail. When I think of time travel, by brain tends to immediatly go into super-Star-Trek mode, which generally ends up confusing me. I realize that it doesn't have to be as complicated as I'm making it, because the story is more fantasy than sci-fi, and so I don't have to have things make perfect sense scientifically.
Now I'm wondering, what are your favorite theories about time travel? What makes the most sense to you? What are your favorite books on the subject? Any advice for those of us who are trying to write it without giving ourselves a migraine?
