For those interested in this and looking for a book in a similar vein, I can recommend 'A Teaspoon and an Open Mind' by Michael White.

It's basically a scientific review of the technologies on display in Doctor Who (UK time-travelling series for any of you who have not seen it) with a serious discussion of whether or not they would be possible now/in the future with our current knowledge.

I bought this in Epub format from the Waterstones shop in the UK for a reasonable price and enjoyed it.

Below is the link to the pbook at Amazon (co.uk)

I note some bad reviews there - but, hey, each to their own!
