I remember from studying pseudoscience many years ago that subatomic particles appear to be capable of time travel. That they do so, or appear to do so, does not mean that atomic structures could do so, or necessarily even that those subatomic particles do so, since our ability to observe is limited. In other words, don't invest too much on those time travel tickets.

Can anybody who really knows physics take a cold shower and tell me if I'm right?

I know I should be excited about this brave new world of physics, but I've been lying in my backyard, watching mesocyclones form, with their turbulence eddies trailing behind, trying to figure out how and why some of those eddies will become killer tornadoes hundreds or thousands of miles from here while most are disappearing before my eyes. Could what I see in those clouds while I'm lying here in the microburst capitol of the world also have larger applications? Could the rapidly changing microclimates here teach us about the macroclimates in a way that would help us preserve all those macroclimates for a few more generations? So many solutions seem possible if only we apply our observations and our dreams to the world that feels like it is almost at our fingertips.

Sorry, I get kind of lost in thought, looking at those clouds. Who were we talking about? Let's see, Ronald Mallett . . . . Isn't he Keith's brother? Now there's somebody whose work I've admired for a long time.
