Stephen Hawking Explains Time Machines


Stephen Hawking spoke to the Daily Mail and described how to build a time machine: "All you need is a wormhole, the Large Hadron Collider or a rocket that goes really, really fast." Okay, and a wormhole is what? Hawking says wormholes are "tiny shortcuts through space and time [that] constantly form, disappear, and reform within this quantum world. And they actually link two separate places and two different times."

I have no idea what he's talking about, but I do know that whenever there is a problem on Star Trek TNG, they just chalk it up to "a tear in the space-time continuum." We just need one of those.
