To celebrate Einstein's birthday, he'd be 134 tomorrow, Stephen Tremp, Laura Eno, and Luanne Smith have come up with National Worm Hole Day. In about 100 words what would you do or where would you go if you could traverse a wormhole through space or time just once? One safe round trip passage.
Boy it was hard for me to choose where I would go. But I decided that seeing the future is not for me. While I would love to finally see flying cars, the future is unstable. I wouldn't want my knowledge to change decisions that must be made. I'm sure I would accidentally throw the whole universe into chaos.
Instead, I would go back to London in 1590. Here, I would infiltrate Queen Elizabeth's court and learn her most intimate secrets. I would also attempt to befriend Shakespeare and learn the ways of the written word from the Master himself.
Where would you go and what would you do?

Now that sounds like a neat idea. I'd like to learn some of those ancient secrets too!
ReplyDeleteStudying under a master is a worthy dream, but I'd be careful of the intrigue in a royal court. 'Heads did roll' easily in the past.

ReplyDeleteAh ha! Another visitor for Shakespeare. He's a busy man today. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! Flying cars, and that would be a blast to the past to visit the queen!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!

you want to know the identity of those who inspired the Sonnets, I see! Do share the info with us, please!
ReplyDeleteShakespeare! Good choice.
ReplyDeleteOh, we could go together! I had a hard time choosing between Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth. Two of my all time favorites from history.
ReplyDeleteMingling with the important and talented would be a feat and adventure!
ReplyDeleteTake some toiletries - they didn't have any back then.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome. Can I tag along? :)
ReplyDelete:) I was thinking along the same lines as L. Diane.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people are concerned with messing with the space time continuum. I wont tell anyone. It'll be our secret.
ReplyDeleteIt would be awesome to meet Shakespeare!

If you're gonna learn from a master, you might as well learn from the best. It'd be interesting to find out what kind of a conversationalist he was, too, and if his sense of humor was evident in his everyday dealings with people. (And did he reeeeally write all of those works by himself???)
ReplyDeleteНey there! I've been following your blog for some time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Kingwood Texas! Just wanted to mention keep up the excellent work!

The past would probably be the stop of many time travelers...and, probably, just to see if it lived up to the hype :)
ReplyDeleteSo many of us want to go into the past -- wonder what it would be like if we really could use that wormhole.
ReplyDeleteThat would be amazing. Both are very powerful and influential people, best of luck falling into your wormhole!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a really fun time to go back to, especially if you could infiltrate. :)
