The fire burnedBC DEF yLbrightly, and the soft radianceBC DE F yLof the incandescent lights inBC DE F yLTthe lilies of silver caught the5BC DE F yLbubbles that flashed and passedpBC DE F yLƌin our glasses.

IȅBC DEF yL#shall have to controvert one orBC DEF yLXtwo ideas that are almost?BC DEF yLuniversally accepted. ThetBC DEF yLŐgeometry, for instance, theyBC DEF yLtaught you at school is foundedBC DEF yL0on a misconception.`BC DEF yLg`Is not that rather a largeLBC DEF yLthing to expect us to beginBC DE F yLϑupon?` said Filby, anBC DE F yLargumentative person with redBC DE F yL)hair.$BC DE F yLa`I do not mean to ask you toEBC DE F yLaccept anything without}BC DEF yL͒reasonable ground for it. YouBC DEF yLwill soon admit as much as IBC DEF yL;need from you. You know of!BC DEF yLwcourse that a mathematical line,WBC DEF yLa line of thickness NIL, has noBC DEF yLreal existence. They taught you΅BC DEF yL)that? Neither has a mathematical BC DEF yLaplane. These things are mereEBC DEF yLabstractions.`}BC DEF yLĔ`That is all right,` said theBC DEF yLPsychologist.BC DEF y`LsL,`Nor, having only length,BC DEF yLebreadth, and thickness, can aHBC DEF yLcube have a real existence.`BC DEF yL֕`There I object,` said Filby.BC DEF yL `Of course a solid body mayBC DEF yLAexist.

Can an INSTANTANEOUSBC DEF yLޖcube exist?`҅BC DEF yL`Don`t follow you,` said Filby.BC DE F yLS`Can a cube that does not last5BC DE F yLfor any time at all, have a realoBC DE F yLexistence?`BC DE F yLFilby became pensive. `Clearly,`҅BC DE F yL+the Time Traveller proceeded,BC DEF yL_`any real body must haveGBC DEF yLextension in FOUR directions: it{BC DEF yLјmust have Length, Breadth,BC DEF yL Thickness, and-Duration. ButBC DEF yLCthrough a natural infirmity of%BC DEF yL~the flesh, which I will explain_BC DEF yLto you in a moment, we inclineBC DEF yLto overlook this fact. There areԅBC DEF yL-really four dimensions, threeBC DEF yLgwhich we call the three planesIBC DEF yLof Space, and a fourth, Time.BC DEF y`LsLThere is, however, a tendency toƅBC DEF yLdraw an unreal distinctionBC DEF yLPbetween the former three8BC DEF yLdimensions and the latter,lBC DEF yLbecause it happens that ourBC DEF yLconsciousness movesمBC DEF yL'intermittently in one directionBC DEF yL\along the latter from theCBC DEF yLbeginning to the end of ourxBC DEF yLlives.`BC DE F yL`That,` said a very young man,҅BC DE F yL'making spasmodic efforts to BC DE F yLcrelight his cigar over the lamp;CBC DE F yL`that . . . very clear indeed.`BC DE F yLڝ`Now, it is very remarkable thatBC DEF yL this is so extensivelyBC DEF yLGoverlooked,` continued the Time(BC DEF yL{Traveller, with a slightcBC DEF yLaccession of cheerfulness.BC DEF yL`Really this is what is meant byͅBC DEF yL%the Fourth Dimension, though BC DEF yL_some people who talk about theABC DEF yLFourth Dimension do not know{BC DEF yLӟthey mean it. It is only anotherBC DEF yLway of looking at Time. THERE ISBC DEF yLINO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TIME AND+BC DEF y`LsLANY OF THE THREE DIMENSIONS OFoBC DEF yLSPACE EXCEPT THAT OURBC DEF yLCONSCIOUSNESS MOVES ALONG IT.څBC DEF yL3But some foolish people have gotBC DEF yLmhold of the wrong side of thatOBC DEF yLidea. You have all heard whatBC DEF yLݡthey have to say about this…BC DEF yL Fourth Dimension?`BC DEF yL?`_I_ have not,` said the'BC DEF yLlProvincial Mayor.[BC DE F yL`It is simply this. That Space,BC DE F yLas our mathematicians have it,ÅBC DE F yLis spoken of as having threeBC DE F yLSdimensions, which one may call5BC DE F yLLength, Breadth, and Thickness,oBC DEF yLģand is always definable byBC DEF yLreference to three planes, eachBC DEF yL9at right angles to the others.BC DEF yLrBut some philosophical peopleUBC DEF yLhave been asking why THREEBC DEF yLdimensions particularly why notąBC DEF yLanother direction at rightBC DEF yLSangles to the other three?-and5BC DEF yLhave even tried to construct aoBC DEF yLFour-Dimension geometry.BC DEF yLProfessor Simon Newcomb was݅BC DEF y`LsL=expounding this to the New YorkBC DEF yLtMathematical Society only aYBC DEF yLmonth or so ago. You know how onBC DEF yLa flat surface, which has only̅BC DEF yL&two dimensions, we can representBC DEF yLaa figure of a three-dimensionalBBC DEF yLsolid, and similarly they think}BC DEF yLΧthat by models of theeBC DEF yL dimensions they could representBC DEF yLEone of four if they could master%BC DE F yL~the perspective of the thing.aBC DE F yLSee?`BC DE F yLը`I think so,` murmured theBC DE F yLProvincial Mayor; and, knittingBC DE F yLHhis brows, he lapsed into an,BC DEF yLintrospective state, his lipsdBC DEF yLmoving as one who repeats mysticBC DEF yLwords. `Yes, I think I see itمBC DEF yL0now,` he said after some time,BC DEF yLbbrightening in a quiteLBC DEF yLtransitory manner.~BC DEF yL̪`Well, I do not mind telling youBC DEF yLI have been at work upon thisBC DEF yL@geometry of Four Dimensions for!BC DEF yLysome time. Some of my results\BC DEF yLare curious. For instance, hereBC DEF y`LsLis a portrait of a man at eightڅBC DEF yL3years old, another at fifteen,BC DEF yLoanother at seventeen, another atOBC DEF yLtwenty-three, and so on. AllBC DEF yLthese are evidently sections, asÅBC DEF yLit were, Three-DimensionalBC DEF yLQrepresentations of his Four-5BC DEF yLDimensioned being, which is amBC DEF yL­fixed and unalterable thing.BC DEF yL`Scientific people,` proceededޅBC DE F yL5the Time Traveller, after theBC DE F yLnpause required for the properQBC DE F yLassimilation of this, `know veryBC DE F yLwell that Time is only a kind ofƅBC DE F yLSpace. Here is a popularBC DEF yLSscientific diagram, a weather6BC DEF yLrecord. This line I trace withoBC DEF yLȯmy finger shows the movement ofBC DEF yLthe barometer. Yesterday it wasBC DEF yL:so high, yesterday night itBC DEF yLufell, then this morning it roseVBC DEF yLagain, and so gently upward toBC DEF yLhere. Surely the mercury did not˅BC DEF yL$trace this line in any of theBC DEF yL]dimensions of Space generally@BC DEF yLrecognized? But certainly ityBC DEF y`LsLױtraced such a line, and thatBC DEF yL line, therefore, we mustBC DEF yLCconclude was along the Time-'BC DEF yLjDimension.`_BC DEF yL`But,` said the Medical Man,BC DEF yL۲staring hard at a coal in theBC DEF yLfire, `if Time is really only aBC DEF yLPfourth dimension of Space, why2BC DEF yLis it, and why has it alwayslBC DEF yLbeen, regarded as somethingBC DE F yLdifferent? And why cannot weۅBC DE F yL3move in Time as we move about inBC DE F yLnthe other dimensions of Space?`OBC DE F yLThe Time Traveller smiled. `AreBC DE F yLyou sure we can move freely inŅBC DEF yLSpace? Right and left we can go,BC DEF yLVbackward and forward freely;BC DEF yLenough, and men always have donerBC DEF yL˵so. I admit we move freely inBC DEF yLtwo dimensions. But how about upBC DEF yLBand down? Gravitation limits us#BC DEF yLethere.`^BC DEF yL`Not exactly,` said the MedicalBC DEF yLֶMan. `There are balloons.`BC DEF yL`But before the balloons, saveBC DEF yLIfor spasmodic jumping and the,BC DEF y`LsLinequalities of the surface, manoBC DEF yLŷhad no freedom of verticalBC DEF yLmovement.` `Still they couldBC DEF yL9move a little up and down,` saidBC DEF yLethe Medical Man.UBC DEF yL`Easier, far easier down thanBC DEF yLup.`BC DEF yL`And you cannot move at all inڅBC DEF yL2Time, you cannot get away fromBC DEF yLbthe present moment.`NBC DE F yL`My dear sir, that is just where~BC DE F yLչyou are wrong. That is justBC DE F yLwhere the whole world has goneBC DE F yLGwrong. We are always getting+BC DE F yLaway from the present moment.cBC DEF yLOur mental existences, which areBC DEF yLimmaterial and have no؅BC DEF yL'dimensions, are passing along BC DEF yL\the Time-Dimension with aCBC DEF yLuniform velocity from the cradlexBC DEF yLӻto the grave. Just as we shouldBC DEF yL travel DOWN if we began ourBC DEF yLEexistence fifty miles above the&BC DEF yLrearth`s surface.`aBC DEF yL`But the great difficulty isBC DEF yLܼthis,` interrupted theƅBC DEF y`LsLPsychologist. `You CAN moveBC DEF yLTabout in all directions of:BC DEF yLSpace, but you cannot move aboutpBC DEF yLin Time.`BC DEF yL`That is the germ of my greatхBC DEF yL)discovery. But you are wrong to BC DEF yLesay that we cannot move about inEBC DEF yLTime. For instance, if I amBC DEF yLҁrecalling an incident veryBC DEF yLvividly I go back to the instantBC DE F yLEof its occurrence: I become*BC DE F yL}absent-minded, as you say. IaBC DE F yLjump back for a moment. OfBC DE F yLcourse we have no means ofυBC DE F yL#staying back for any length ofBC DEF yL^Time, any more than a savage or?BC DEF yLan animal has of staying sixzBC DEF yL΃feet above the ground. But aBC DEF yL civilized man is better off thanBC DEF yLDthe savage in this respect.

His face was ghastlyDBC DEF yLpale; his chin had a brown cut{BC DEF yLцon it-a cut half healed; hisBC DEF yLexpression was haggard andBC DEF yLBdrawn, as by intense suffering.#BC DEF yL~For a moment he hesitated in the^BC DEF yLdoorway, as if he had beenBC DEF yLdazzled by the light.

We}BC DE F yL͈stared at him in silence,BC DE F yLexpecting him to speak.BC DEF yL8He said not a word, but cameBC DEF yLtpainfully to the table, and madeTBC DEF yLa motion towards the wine. TheBC DEF yLEditor filled a glass ofʅBC DEF yLchampagne, and pushed it towardsBC DEF yLThim.

The rest of theUBC DEF yLdinner was uncomfortable. For myBC DE F yLown part, sudden questions keptͅBC DE F yL(on rising to my lips, and I dareBC DE F yL`say it was the same with theDBC DE F yLothers.

After acBC DEF yLtime we ceased to do that, andBC DEF yLlooked only at the TimeՅBC DEF yLTraveller`s face.BC DEF yL@Chapter III5BC DEF yLt`I told some of you last\BC DEF yLThursday of the principles ofBC DEF yLthe Time Machine, and showed youɅBC DEF yLthe actual thing itself,BC DEF yLTincomplete in the workshop.9BC DEF yLThere it is now, a littlepBC DEF y`LsLͅtravel-worn, truly; and one ofBC DEF yL the ivory bars is cracked, and aBC DEF yLEbrass rail bent; but the rest of%BC DEF yLit`s sound enough. I expected toaBC DEF yLfinish it on Friday, but onBC DEF yLFriday, when the puttingԅBC DEF yL#together was nearly done, IBC DEF yL[found that one of the nickel?BC DEF yLbars was exactly one inch toowBC DEF yL̇short, and this I had to getBC DE F yLremade; so that the thing wasBC DE F yLAnot complete until this morning.!BC DE F yLyIt was at ten o`clock to-day]BC DE F yLthat the first of all TimeBC DE F yLMachines began its career. I˅BC DEF yL gave it a last tap, tried allBC DEF yLZthe screws again, put one moreher a minute or so to traverse BC DEF yLythe place, but to me she seemedZBC DEF yLto shoot across the room like aBC DEF yLrocket. I pressed the lever overЅBC DEF yL(to its extreme position. The BC DEF y`LsLmnight came like the turning outNBC DEF yLof a lamp, and in another momentBC DEF yLcame to-morrow. The laboratoryŅBC DEF yLgrew faint and hazy, thenBC DEF yLQfainter and ever fainter. To-4BC DEF yLmorrow night came black, thenmBC DEF yLday again, night again, dayBC DEF yLagain, faster and faster still.݅BC DEF yL3An eddying murmur filled myBC DEF yLhears, and a strange, dumbOBC DE F yLconfusedness descended on myBC DE F yLmind.BC DE F yL`I am afraid I cannot convey the݅BC DE F yL4peculiar sensations of timeBC DE F yLptravelling. They are excessivelyPBC DEF yLunpleasant. There is a feelingBC DEF yLexactly like that one has upon aƅBC DEF yLswitchback-of a helplessBC DEF yLVheadlong motion! I felt the same6BC DEF yLhorrible anticipation, too, ofrBC DEF yLʕan imminent smash. As I put onBC DEF yLpace, night followed day likeBC DEF yLtheir lessons in little doses!BC DEF yLvwhen they felt inclined. AndZBC DEF yLvery little doses I found theyBC DEF yLwere before long, for I never̅BC DEF yL%met people more indolent or moreBC DEF yLQeasily fatigued.ABC DEF yL`A queer thing I soon discoveredmBC DEF yLȳabout my little hosts, and thatBC DEF yLwas their lack of interest. TheyBC DEF y`LsLEwould come to me with eager*BC DEF yL|cries of astonishment, likeaBC DEF yLchildren, but like children theyBC DEF yLwould soon stop examining me andԅBC DEF yL,wander away after some otherBC DEF yL^toy. The dinner and myHBC DEF yLconversational beginnings ended,zBC DEF yLյI noted for the first time thatBC DEF yL almost all those who hadBC DEF yL@surrounded me at first were%BC DE F yLugone. It is odd, too, how\BC DE F yLspeedily I came to disregardBC DE F yLthese little people. I went outɅBC DE F yLthrough the portal into theBC DE F yL[sunlit world again as soon as my;BC DEF yLhunger was satisfied. I waswBC DEF yLɷcontinually meeting more ofBC DEF yLthese men of the future, whoBC DEF yL5would follow me a littleBC DEF yLldistance, chatter and laughQBC DEF yLabout me, and, having smiled andBC DEF yLgesticulated in a friendly way,ąBC DEF yLleave me again to my ownBC DEF yL;devices.3BC DEF yLt`The calm of evening was uponWBC DEF yLthe world as I emerged from theBC DEF y`LsL great hall, and the scene wasBC DEF yLWlit by the warm glow of thethe world I had known-even the BC DEF yLyflowers. The big building I hadZBC DEF yLleft was situated on the slopeBC DEF yLof a broad river valley, but theυBC DEF yL'Thames had shifted perhaps a BC DE F yLbmile from its present position.CBC DE F yLI resolved to mount to the~BC DE F yLԂsummit of a crest perhaps a mileBC DE F yL and a half away, from which IBC DE F yLGcould get a wider view of this)BC DEF yLour planet in the year EightcBC DEF yLHundred and Two Thousand SevenBC DEF yLHundred and One A.D. For that, IՅBC DEF yL1should explain, was the date theBC DEF yLglittle dials of my machineMBC DEF yLrecorded.BC DEF yLDŽ`As I walked I was watching forBC DEF yLevery impression that couldBC DEF yL6possibly help to explain theBC DEF yLpcondition of ruinous splendourRBC DEF yLin which I found the world-forBC DEF y`LsLruinous it was. A little way upЅBC DEF yL(the hill, for instance, was a BC DEF yL`great heap of granite, boundDBC DEF yLtogether by masses of aluminium,|BC DEF yL׆a vast labyrinth of precipitousBC DEF yLwalls and crumpled heaps, amidstBC DEF yLMwhich were thick heaps of very/BC DEF yLbeautiful pagoda-like plants-iBC DEF yL‡nettles possibly-but wonderfullyBC DEF yLtinted with brown about theޅBC DE F yL-leaves, and incapable ofBC DE F yLgstinging. It was evidently theIBC DE F yLderelict remains of some vastBC DE F yLڈstructure, to what end built IBC DE F yLcould not determine. It was hereBC DEF yLQthat I was destined, at a later2BC DEF yLdate, to have a very strangemBC DEF yLĉexperience-the first intimationBC DEF yLof a still stranger discovery-BC DEF yL9but of that I will speak in itsBC DEF yLbproper place.UBC DEF yL`Looking round with a sudden~BC DEF yL֊thought, from a terrace on whichBC DEF yLI rested for a while, I realizedBC DEF yLMthat there were no small houses.BC DEF yLto be seen. Apparently theiBC DEF y`LsLȋsingle house, and possibly evenBC DEF yLthe household, had vanished.BC DEF yL4Here and there among theBC DEF yLigreenery were palace-likePBC DEF yLbuildings, but the house and theBC DEF yLٌcottage, which form suchBC DEF yLcharacteristic features of ourBC DEF yLIown English landscape, had/BC DEF yLqdisappeared.eBC DEF yL``Communism,` said I to myself.BC DE F yL`And on the heels of that cameȅBC DE F yL"another thought. I looked at theBC DE F yL\half-dozen little figures that>BC DE F yLwere following me. Then, in axBC DE F yLЎflash, I perceived that all hadBC DEF yL the same form of costume, theBC DEF yLCsame soft hairless visage, and%BC DEF yL|the same girlish rotundity of_BC DEF yLlimb. It may seem strange,BC DEF yLperhaps, that I had not noticed΅BC DEF yL(this before. But everything was BC DEF yLcso strange. Now, I saw the factDBC DEF yLplainly enough. In costume, andBC DEF yLӐin all the differences ofBC DEF yL texture and bearing that nowBC DEF yLCmark off the sexes from each'BC DEF y`LsLother, these people of theiBC DEF yLfuture were alike. And theBC DEF yLchildren seemed to my eyes to beՅBC DEF yL,but the miniatures of theirBC DEF yLeparents. I judged, then, thatHBC DEF yLthe children of that time wereBC DEF yLےextremely precocious, physicallyBC DEF yLat least, and I found afterwardsBC DEF yLNabundant verification of my3BC DEF yLropinion.jBC DE F yL`Seeing the ease and security inBC DE F yLwhich these people were living,ʅBC DE F yLI felt that this closeBC DE F yLSresemblance of the sexes was7BC DE F yLafter all what one would expect;oBC DEF yLȔfor the strength of a man andBC DEF yLthe softness of a woman, theBC DEF yL:institution of the family, andBC DEF yLlthe differentiation ofVBC DEF yLoccupations are mere militantBC DEF yLٕnecessities of an age ofBC DEF yLphysical force; where populationBC DEF yLOis balanced and abundant, much1BC DEF yLchildbearing becomes an evilkBC DEF yLrather than a blessing to theBC DEF yLState; where violence comes but܅BC DEF y`LsL:rarely and off-spring are!BC DEF yLvsecure, there is less necessity-VBC DEF yLindeed there is no necessity-forBC DEF yLan efficient family, and the΅BC DEF yL&specialization of the sexes withBC DEF yL_reference to their children`sBBC DEF yLneeds disappears. We see some{BC DEF yLҘbeginnings of this even in ourBC DEF yLown time, and in this future ageBC DEF yLGit was complete. This, I must*BC DE F yLremind you, was my speculationcBC DE F yLat the time. Later, I was toBC DE F yLappreciate how far it fell shortՅBC DE F yL of the reality.BC DE F yLZ`While I was musing upon theseBC DEF yLpersistently. Our agriculturevBC DEF yLήand horticulture destroy a weedBC DEF yLjust here and there andBC DEF yLBC DEF yLin splendid shelters, gloriouslyxBC DEF yLӀclothed, and as yet I had foundBC DEF yL them engaged in no toil. ThereBC DEF yLCwere no signs of struggle,)BC DEF yL|neither social nor economical_BC DEF yLstruggle. The shop, theBC DEF yLadvertisement, traffic, all that˅BC DEF yL%commerce which constitutes theBC DE F yL`body of our world, was gone. ItABC DE F yLwas natural on that golden|BC DE F yLςevening that I should jump atBC DE F yL the idea of a social paradise.BC DE F yLAThe difficulty of increasing%BC DEF yLwpopulation had been met, I]BC DEF yLguessed, and population hadBC DEF yL݃ceased to increase.ʅBC DEF yL`But with this change inBC DEF yLGcondition comes inevitably-BC DEF yLadaptations to the change. What,cBC DEF yLunless biological science is aBC DEF yLmass of errors, is the cause ofمBC DEF yL2human intelligence and vigour?BC DEF yLnHardship and freedom: conditionsNBC DEF yLunder which the active, strong,BC DEF y`LsLand subtle survive and theυBC DEF yLweaker go to the wall;BC DEF yLTconditions that put a premium7BC DEF yLupon the loyal alliance ofpBC DEF yLcapable men, upon self-BC DEF yLrestraint, patience, andمBC DEF yL-decision. And the institution of BC DEF yLethe family, and the emotionsIBC DEF yLthat arise therein, the fierceBC DEF yLׇjealousy, the tenderness forBC DE F yL offspring, parental self-BC DE F yLAdevotion, all found their(BC DE F yL}justification and support in the]BC DE F yLimminent dangers of the young.BC DE F yLNOW, where are these imminentӅBC DEF yL)dangers? There is a sentiment BC DEF yL_arising, and it will grow,EBC DEF yLagainst connubial jealousy,{BC DEF yLˉagainst fierce maternity,BC DEF yLagainst passion of all sorts;BC DEF yL;unnecessary things now, and BC DEF yLjthings that make usWBC DEF yLuncomfortable, savage survivals,BC DEF yLۊdiscords in a refined and…BC DEF yLpleasant life.BC DEF yL;`I thought of the physical!BC DEF y`LsLslightness of the people, theiraBC DEF yLlack of intelligence, and thoseBC DEF yLbig abundant ruins, and itׅBC DEF yL(strengthened my belief in a BC DEF yLcperfect conquest of Nature.
