Invisible Men And Past Posts

HG Wells' Invisible Man (looks like Clark Kent) is invisible, obviously. So are Wells' Time Traveler and Poul Anderson's mutant time travelers - while they are time traveling. The Time Traveler and the time travelers are also impalpable and time-dilated. The mutant time travelers, while time traveling, can walk around, like the Invisible Man, and, unlike him, can pass through walls. Thus, Jack Havig and Leonce escape from a tower of the Eyrie.

For previous discussion of Poul Anderson's There Will Be Time, see:

Kaor, Paul!

And the way to imprison one of the mutant time travelers is to attach him to weights too HEAVY for him to carry thru time.
