I read that. I think they're using the wrong sort of worm.

However, that said, it's interesting that reseach money is being spent looking at the idea. I'd love to have seen the justification for it...

I think we should take that as a firm offer.

you know, I thought Chris' demonstration of a worm hole at the end of last months meeting was  a cracking idea.

Maybe you should video it and send it to those scientists who say it can't be done!

I can't because they believe it can't be done they will not believe it will they because they will think it was in the past even though it was in the future and they won't be able to tell that because there in the present which as we know moves forwards in its four dimensional cone of reality and they could only find out the real facts if these reality cones meet, which they can't because a wormhole will work through another dimension.  Therefore we start from where we left off so to speak.

Or in teenage terms, yer but, yer but..........
