BDT: All I know about time travel I learned from Star Trek
We're at the start of what should be a big year for Star Trek. The franchise will celebrate its 50th anniversary this fall, but 2016 also brings a new movie (Star Trek Beyond), the recovery of long-lost documents belonging to Gene Roddenberry, and the development of (finally!) a new series set to launch in January 2017.
It's no secret that we here at Ars love (and sometimes hate) our Star Trek. With so much time having elapsed since the original series first aired — and with so much time spent watching/reading/thinking through it all — we felt it was about, well, time to thoroughly explore one of our favorite Trek staples: time travel.
