    Chicken Futures

    I can't believe what we are able to do, and I will never understand most of the logic behind it. I give you the featherless chicken. Somethings were never meant to be tampered with...

    A supernovais ready to blow in our neighborhood... well, in about 100 million years or so, and it is 150 light years away. So, who's worried? I'm not. Especially with recent developments in wormhole travel. If theories are correct, we should be able to transport people through time and space using wormholes. Wormholes should theoretically collapse when invaded by a positive energy (which a person would be) into black holes. It is thought that we can avoid that pitfall by harnessing "ghost energy" to counteract the positive force, and hence keep the wormhole open. It will be tricky though. If too much ghost energy is used we could end up with another big bang on our hands. And that would leave us no better off than before, when we were just contemplating the supernova on the horizon.
