Miracle: A Journey Through Time to Save the Past—and the Future

"Miracle by Ray Cummings - A summons from yesterday, a promise from tomorrow–they had commanded Alan Dane to tear apart the pages of history–to save his unborn son! 'But how can you possibly know that time traveling has never been done?' the chemist protested. 'Someone from our future may have gone into the past many times.' 'I should think they'd have created quite a commotion,' the lawyer observed. 'Wouldn't we have heard of it from our historical records?' 'Of course.' The chemist was smiling now. 'We probably have. History tells of many important occasions on which a 'vision' appeared. A miraculous presence, such as Joan of Arc, for instance, or the Angel of Mons.' 'Or the appearance of the Sun God to the Aztecs. I get your point,' one of the other men interjected. 'You think that there might have been a time traveler who materialized just long enough to take a look—and the superstitious natives took him for a god. Why not? That's probably just what would happen.' Young Alan Dane sat in a corner of his grandfather's laboratory, listening to the argument of the group of men. He was well over six feet in height, a sun-bronzed, crisply blond young Viking. Beside him sat Ruth Vincent, his fiancée, a slim girl of twenty. Alan's heart was pounding. Somehow it seemed as though this bantering talk of time traveling were something momentous to him, something requiring a great and irrevocable decision. Then abruptly old Professor Dane held up his hand and, quite casually, said, 'What you do not know, gentlemen, is that for half my life I have been working to discover the secret of time travel.' His audience was suddenly tense. Professor Dane was loved and respected by each of them, and his word in his chosen field of physics was final. If he said a thing could be done there was no mistake."

Absolutely No Paradox

"Absolutely No Paradox by Lester Del Rey - If time-travel is possible, then why haven't we been visited by people from the future? But Pete LeFranc found the answer to that. The old men's section of the Arts and Science Club was always the best ordered. The robots somehow managed to avoid clanking there; the greensward beyond the veranda was always just right, and the drinks were the best for six counties. Old Ned Brussels touched his glass to his lips appreciatively, sighed in contentment, and waited for some of the other oldsters to break the silence. Finally, Lem Hardy took the plunge. 'He did it,' he announced, referring to a conversation of weeks before. Then, at their puzzled looks, he amplified. 'My grandson, damn it! He's got a time machine—it works. Sent a cat four days up, and it came through unharmed.' The glass fell from Old Ned's hand, bouncing on the floor, and spilling good liquor. A robot came forward silently to clean it up, but Ned didn't look at it. 'Four days doesn't mean a thing. Lem—is that kid planning on trying it out?' 'He's going to try it next week.' 'Then for the Lord's sake, stop him! Look, does it work like this?' His fingers slipped over the pencil smoothly, as they had always done when he worked, drafting robot bodies in the old days. A rude schematic seemed to grow almost instantly on the paper. Lem took it, then stiffened suddenly. 'Who told you?'"
