G. Wells is credited with the popularisation of time travel in 1895 with \u003cem\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/em\u003e, introducing the idea of time being the \"fourth dimension\" a decade before the publication of Einstein's first Relativity papers. In 1896, he imagined a mad scientist creating human-like beings from animals in \u003cem\u003eThe Island of Doctor Moreau\u003c\/em\u003e, which created a growing interest in animal welfare throughout Europe. In 1897 with\u003cem\u003e The Invisible Man\u003c\/em\u003e, Wells shows how a formula could render one invisible, recognizing that an invisible eye would not be able to focus, thus rendering the invisible man blind. With \u003cem\u003eThe War of the Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e in 1898, Wells established the idea that an advanced civilization could live on Mars, popularising the term 'martian' and the idea that aliens could invade Earth. With The First Men in the Moon, Wells developed antigravity, a development that we are still dreaming about to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWells, H.
