...time-traveling exploits of Back to the Future duo Marty McFly and his DeLorean may not be such a stretch after all. In his new book, The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time and the Texture of Reality, theoretical physicist Brian Greene ’84 suggests that time travel and teleportation are well within the realms of quantum mechanics, a conceptual framework of physics that emerged in the 1930s...
