How To Turn Back Time

Michael Mathiesen

A new theory of Time Wave Modulation and the Time Doppler Effect.  Could have an impact as big or bigger than Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.  This completely new scientific breakthrough could change the way that everyone on this planet looks at the amount and quality of Time we have left.  After reading this book, if you waste any of this precious gift, it won't be because I didn't tell you so.    Your aid and support is requested in helping the author get the proof of his theory of Time Waves through the upcoming European Space Agency's huge new Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)  so that they will be able to confirm this new theory that Time travels in waves, can be modulated and flows in reverse to every other event in your life.  If you ever wanted to turn back Time in order to correct something in your past that you failed to complete in the most personally satisfying ways, this book is for you.
