Research: Quantum Time

The January 2004 issue of Scientific American has an article titled: Atoms of Space and Time by Lee Smolin. The January issue is not on line yet, but I hope that article is available on line when it is (and I will put a link up in this thread when it becomes available).

In the mean time for your reading pleasure, check out the Q&A session SciAm did with Michio Kaku a theoretical theorist who specializes in String Theory. Several theories that would allow for time travel are briefly discussed.

Jake mentioned Quantum foam in one of his research notes, and this answer from Kaku may help explain what he ment:

Quote:

SA: Where would the wormhole come from in that case?

MK: We would get the wormhole by grabbing it from the vacuum, because they're everywhere. We think that at very small distances, 10-33 centimeters, spacetime becomes foamy. The dominant structures at those quantum distances are probably wormholes, little bubbles, universes that pop into existence and then pop right back out of existence. Now if you could manipulate [the so-called] quantum foam, then you could go through one of these bubbles. And in Kip Thorne's original proposal for a time machine, he said that maybe we would obtain a wormhole by grabbing one of these bubbles and expanding it, stabilizing it with negative energy.
