Time Accelerator
-
The greatest minds of the 20th century spent a lot of energy on the possibility of time travel. Einstein in particular addresses the relationship between time and movement or space.
But it's only now in the 21st century that ideas about the bendability of time have really taken off. Now we're seeing technology that can demonstrate what were merely theories in the last century.
Exhibit A:
This is a device that can compress three hours into three minutes. Your tea can go from piping hot to stone cold in the time it takes to glance at the TV screen. The movement in the device actually causes the hands of the clock to speed forward while you're in the world of the device (but slowing down to normal should you take your eyes off it and look at the clock).
As Spock says, Fascinating.

Lynn, you had me going there for a split second, but it felt like hours.
