I'm in mourning. Apparently it's been proven once and for all that time travel isn't possible. A team of researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology claims to have measured the speed of a single photon (the smallest unit of light) and found that it can't travel faster than constant c (which represents the speed of light in a vacuum). This confirms Einstein's views that "nothing can travel faster than light" and therefore, "an effect cannot occur before its cause."
I guess I can still hope for the discovery of wormholes that might allow me to travel quickly to far parts of the universe. But that just isn't the same.L
You've got to stop reading those Connie Willis novels.
ReplyDeleteWhy would I want to do that?
