The people in the mid 19th century had a dilemma created by Newton,you and your colleagues have a severe disability .The novelist you require is not Orwell but rather H.G. Wells - "Scientific people,' proceeded the Time Traveller, after the pause required for the proper assimilation of this, 'know very well that Time is only a kind of Space. " 1898 http://www.bartleby.com/1000/1.html Why would a group of people in the early 20th century formalise a science fiction narrative that could be found on any bookshelf in the late 19th century is perhaps for future generations to judge,even if I understand the complex reasons why Newton still ultimately runs the show,the early 20th century views are extremely unhealthy and they are still as visible as ever. The rapid disappearance of relativistic concepts from the tv screens has not really be replaced by a balanced view,one that actually promotes the obstacles Isaac created in geometric/astronomical terms and goodness knows they are fascinating under genuine scrutiny and without bluff. Humanity can quickly forgive great errors such as the mass ideology which partially created World war II but the empirical ideology is much more difficult to tackle by virtue that it hijacks the machinary of the education system and will always generate clones to keep its precepts up and running.It is a great injustice that forces it adherents into indoctrination and everyone else into bewilderment and so it continues day after day without any sign of abating,the problem being that most people are unaware that errors exist and mistake unlimited hypothesising as vibrant and brilliant discussion. I have no complaints about people here,they choose to remain stuck in somebody else's imagination and no matter how horrified I may be at such a condition,it is their choice,the problem is that they try to extend the nightmare to a bewildered human race.Read Well's 'Time Machine',put it down as good fiction and leave it at that.
