| Summary | "Aikakone" by H. G. Wells is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows an unnamed protagonist referred to as the Time Traveler, who demonstrates a machine he claims can traverse time. The narrative is centered around his discussions and experiments regarding the fourth dimension, time, and the implications of time travel on humanity. The opening of "Aikakone" introduces the Time Traveler giving a lecture to a group of skeptical friends about the concept of time as a dimension, just like space. He challenges their understanding of physical dimensions, claiming that time is a tangible dimension through which one can travel, and he proposes that he has created a machine capable of doing so. As he explains his theories, he presents a model of his time machine and ultimately builds anticipation for his upcoming demonstration, leaving his audience in a mix of awe and disbelief about the potential to travel through time. The opening sets the stage for a blend of scientific inquiry and adventure, inviting readers to ponder the possibilities and consequences of such a groundbreaking invention.
