Very cool Sean!  It warms my heart to see that astrophysicists are down with Star Trek, Doctor Who and Ray Bradbury!

If only because those shows envisioned what some of them had previously thought impossible and yet, only now, are we seeing some of those things come to a sort of reality.  Is it bad that I recognized him only from his guest appearance on The Big Bang Theory?  I love that show.

Is that Wil Wheaton??????  lol

This was very cool...I didn't watch the video yesterday (no time) so I just got a chance today.  Yours is a question I've been pondering of late- thanks to Timeline by Michael Crichton (not the loosely-based-on movie, but the actual book) and of course then you start thinking - what if time is only perceived as linear because we, as Dr. deGrasse-Tyson states, are prisoners of the present?  Then there's the whole multiverse thing...I try not to think about it too much.  :)
