Reading and sending e-mail--even with nettlesome attachments--was a snap. Plugging in headphones and listening to MP3 music files while playing solitaire made my morning commute...
...problem with wormholes is that the openings are microscopic and tend to snap shut a fraction of a second after they're created.

This may sound impossible, but the Dutch physicist Hendrik Casimir theorized in 1948 that holding two plates of electrically conducting material very close together in a vacuum actually does create a region of negative density that exerts an inward pressure on the plates. The force predicted...

We try to wrap our imagination around the radical ideas that modern scientists take for granted, but we're left breathless. Cosmic strings that snap like rubber bands! Parallel universes that sprout like bubbles! Wormholes! Gravity waves! Particles that vibrate not in three or four dimensions...
