I have a much deeper appreciation for them.<br /><br />Elana, LOL! Me too. I can think of a number of people I'd like to send on a one-wat trip through a wormhole.<br /><br />Jackee, I still find shows using wormholes every week. Its like the writers do not feel the need to explain wormhole concepts any more. They just put them in and assume the viewers are comfortable enough with the portals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913682603555541882.post-67116384394416114532010-11-17T17:03:53.252-05:002010-11-17T17:03:53.252-05:00Jackee - you're right - we just take it for gr...Jackee - you're right - we just take it for granted - don't think of them as actual wormholes. :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913682603555541882.post-54744001981846346832010-11-17T17:02:42.997-05:002010-11-17T17:02:42.997-05:00Elana - Love it!

Its always interesting to hear their take on thoretical physics and if they think they will see a breakthrough in these areas during their lifetime.<br /><br />Slushpile, thanks for the Congrats! Wormholes are indeed very very cool. And they could exist, at least on much smaller level (too small to see), right underneath our very noses.<br /><br />Laura, this is a great genre. I'm compiling a list of movies using htis genre, both realistic and unrealistic scifi.<br /><br />VR, thanks for visiting the hosts along the way. Wormholes are fascinating. This is a common thread I see among commenters.<br /><br />Hilary, its amazing the vision some of the Steampunk authors had. Same for Near Future Scifi.

I suppose it's obvious that all those mysteries of the 1800s and early 1900s were throwing up scientific ideas that had yet to come to fruition ... or be rejected. I liked the explanation of the concertinaed sheet of paper & punching a hole through it .. can visualise that space breakthrough .. through the "wave theory of light" - very interesting .. <br /><br />Thanks Jemi for hosting Steve and for yet another fascinating interview/review ..
