Book Excerpt for the Day

    In Part III, we explore the possibility that, under extreme circumstances, space may be stretched until it rips or tears.  In other words, hyperspace may provide a means to tunnel through space and time.  Although we stress that this is still highly speculative, physicists are seriously analyzing the properties of “wormholes”, of tunnels that link distant parts of space and time.  Physicists at the California Institute of Technology, for example, have seriously proposed the possibility of building a time machine, containing a wormhole that connects the past with the future.  Time machines have now left the realm of speculation and fantasy and have become legitimate fields of scientific research.
