I’m almost obsessive about time, time-travel (and the apparent inherent paradoxes), and the concepts of reality (and ‘now’). (If you doubt that, read my novel, “Everything Not Known”, in which realists and creationists compete to master and control reality in battles which we do not know are taking place.) I’m really excited about Kip Thorne’s work, but I’m starting to take it all way, way further. While I have in no sense understanding of time from a physics point of view, I like speculating that humans misconstrue time and its impact. The is the primary drive behind the novel in progress, “Long Summer” (sequel to “Returnee). Fun thinking.
