holes
First thing in the morning, I spent forty minutes discussing this hole in the ceiling of the ice cream factory with two professional ceiling hole evaluators. I will never look at this hole the same way again. It was a surprisingly informative conversation and a great way to start the day.
Einstein
In this episode, an unnamed creature who Crichton glibly dubs “Einstein,”* explains the practical considerations of time-space travel through wormholes. They have adopted a variant of the many-worlds interpretation. My favorite recent fictional treatment of the many-worlds interpretation is Ian McDonald’s Brasyl. I don’t want to spoil it, but its treatment of the multiverse concept is very nice.

*for black eyes or absence of eyeballs being used to indicate possession or alien nature see also the CyberKing. I love the aesthetic of off-the-rack special effects, but I will never <3 them.
