Inspired by Wells, Jarry’s fictional Dr. Faustroll tells exactly what’s needed to build your very own time machine. —Michael Main

To explore the universe by seeking knowledge of points in Space can be accomplished only through Time; and in order to measure Time quantitatively, we refer to Space intervals on the dial of a chronometer. Space and Time, being of the same nature, may be conceived of as different physical states of the same substance, or as differ ent modes of motion.
