Time Traveller's Wife

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I borrowed a copy of The Time Traveller's Wife from my local library in December 2006. Between Christmas and New Year I received a post-card to notify me that the book was due back to the library early in January and that another reader had placed a reservation on the book so renewal was not going to be an option. As I was only about half way through the book I had to devote extra time to my reading. I made good progress and at about 6pm on New Year's Eve, I started to read the final chapter of the book. The book ends with the death of the Time Traveller......on 31st December 2006 . As the book was written in the mid 1990's, I thought it was spooky to finish the book on precisely the date the author penned the date for the death of his subject!! - Nigel
