回到未來
Time travel's been one of man's wildest
fantasies for centuries. It's long been a popular trend in movies and fiction,
inspiring everything from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to H.G. Wells' The
Time Machine to the Charlton Heston shrine that is The Planet of the Apes. And
with the opening of Interstellar today—n0t to spoil anything—we're about to
fantasize about it even more.
The most fantastic thing? It's probably
possible.
What's almost impossible
Let's start with the bad news. We probably
can't travel back in time and watch the Egyptians build the pyramids. In the
last century scientists came up with a number of theories that suggested it is
indeed plausible to take a leap into the future; going back in time,
unfortunately, is much more complicated. But it's not necessarily impossible.
Albert Einstein laid the groundwork for
much of the theoretical science that governs most time travel research today.
Of course, scientists like Galileo and Poincaré that came before him helped,
but Einstein's theories of special and general relativity dramatically changed
our understanding of time and space. And it's because of these well-tested
theories that we believe time travel is possible.
One option for would be a wormhole, also
known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge. Along with physicist Nathan Rosen, Einstein
suggested the existence of wormholes in 1935, and although we've yet to
discover one, many scientists have contributed their own theories about how
wormholes might work. Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne are probably the most well
known. Thorne, a theoretical physicist at CalTech, even helped Christopher
Nolan with the science behind Interstellar.

Why do people make excuses? By Abdul Rahman
Daud
According to some researches done on this
subject, it was found this ‘habit’ of giving excuses can be traced back to the
early childhood. Every time a child wants something it will begin by asking it normally.
However if it doesn’t get what it wants the normal way it will indulge in
diabolical techniques ,”Like…….my teacher always scolds me for wearing this old
shoes!”
Parents in wanting their child to have the
best and not being scolded by the teacher would invariably succumb to the
child’s demand. When the child gets his way, a habit is formed….the habit of
giving excuses (in this case a white lie).
Subsequent successes in getting what he
wants by giving excuses reinforce this habit. As he grows he gives more
excuses, sometime being questioned and most times he is gets off the hook. This
habit of giving excuses or lying comes to a critical point where giving excuses
and lying becomes a norm in his life. Sometimes to the extent of lying where
there is no reason to lie.
Sometimes our excuses pile up and get in
the way of doing something good and significant for us. I was told a humorous
story about a student who did not turn up for class one day, that I think
illustrates this.
There was once a student who was on my
counseling session. I asked him why he enjoys giving excuses and lying.
“Its cool sir…everyone does it!” his
answer was short and concise. This was the same, student, who had given the
excuse below to his class teacher,
“Sir, I couldn’t come to school yesterday
morning.”
“Why?” asked the teacher.
“You see sir. As I was about to leave the
house, the house phone rang, my grandma wanted me to pass a message to the
whole family,” he continued.
“What did she say?” questioned a bit
annoyed.
“She said she just passed away!” The whole
class roared with laughter and the student felt great that he had given a
humorous excuse.
