York Dobyns on Wormholes, Quantum Mechanics, and the Future

Physicist York Dobyns of Princeton University talks about how the future intentions may affect the past at a recent meeting on Retrocausation at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting at University of San Diego on June 23, 2006. Interview by Tom Munnecke.

He discusses some of the ideas of Cal Tech Physicist Kip Thorne's theories of wormholes on the fabric of space and time. He also discusses some of the strange implications of our understanding of quantum mechanics.

York Dobyns earned his PhD in physics at Princeton and is now with the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Laboratory http://www.princeton.edu/~pear/

It IS you! Henry Clay High had many ubernerds in the 70s, but I knew you'd seek farther than most. Fantastic observations/conclusions!

Thats gotta be the best physics career ever!

this guy talks like a robot

through the warmhole whit morgan freeman was talking about this on the sci channel

@youtrade207 witch is the death of the human race... or probably the most of the ppl that live today.. if you change history, you might not live today.

Once we figure out how to travel FASTER than the speed of light, then we will be able to time travel.

@69erthx1138 That's what separates the good teachers from the great ones.

@69erthx1138 Keeping them interested and motivated when they would rather be doing something else and or those already interested -- keeping them entranced -- is what separates the good teachers from the great ones.
