I sent him a long list of questions--after reading his book twice. Some were similar to yours. I think a 'bot replied: "The questions you pose are deep. I hope soon to have time to begin to answer them."

If I'd said that time is made of green cheese and melons, it would have said: "The questions you pose are deep..."

I just got back from seeing "Timeline". Their time machine involves mirrors of some kind, and when activated, smoke appears. I successfully resisted the urge to sprout lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Blackadder, but only barely.

Another thing. Why is it that black holes and time travel often seem to involve French chicks? You'd think that if they had time-travel technology, they would have made some major adjustments to the history of the 14th century, to say nothing of the 19th and 20th.
