I will be using this space to post links to questions on your readings and viewing materials for this class.
These questions will ask you to think about issues raised in the course content. Though we are not using a "blog" (because I honestly thought one more site for us to manage and log in to would be just way too much), I want you to treat these sections like a blog and I have certainly tried to give them that general appearance.
When you respond on this wiki, please be sure to include your username so I can give your credit. Also, please separate your answers using the "Insert Horizontal Line" icon (next to the eraser on the formating menu) so I don't get lost trying to distinguish your answers.
REMEMBER: What you post and the quality of your posting is a reflection of you. Make sure you are presenting yourself appropriately. What you post contributes to your on-line identity. You should never publish personal information such as your phone number, address, or last name. In addition, once you publish something on-line, you cannot take it back entirely, even if you delete it. I do not want to frighten you so much as caution you to think seriously about your postings on this wiki.
Do you have any questions or comments on the readings?

"Today, we know that time travel need not be confined to myths, science fiction, Hollywood movies, or even speculation by theoretical physicists. Time travel is possible. For example, an object traveling at high speeds ages more slowly than a stationary object. This means that if you were to travel into outer space and return, moving close to light speed, you could travel thousands of years into the Earth's future."
