Tonight, during dinner, we watched Star Trek. To be more specific, we watched the most recent movie called Star Trek, the one where Spock makes out with Lt Uhura. We’d seen it at the theater when it debuted, but tonight, we enjoyed a most delicious and exciting second helping.

For those of you that know us, and the movie’s plot, it will not surprise you that, several minutes into the showing, I was requested to stop the movie and explain some of the theoretical concepts behind worm holes and time travel . Here are the lecture notes. If you have any questions, please contact one of my graduate students, Adam or Aaron. Office hours are posted outside their laboratories here at the Hernandez Center For Relativistic Dinners and Movies.
