I live with unruly and curious folk. Galileo peers at me from one of my bookshelves. His face is portrayed on the front cover of Dava Sobel’s Galileo’s Daughter. He leans toward John Brockman’s frontier science essay collection New Humanists Science at the Edge and away from Carl Zimmer’s brainy book Soul Made Flesh.

I checked and this, indeed, happened in 1982 and a friend of mine even heard it himself on the news when he was doing graduate school in New York. It is about Larry, a man who wanted to realize his ultimate dream of flight: launch into and float in airspace relaxing on his armchair while drinking beer.

Well, it may be something that I think an event at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) last May 7 would have given rise to as they held the first time-traveler’s convention where they expected guests from the future to pop in. They even provided exact GPS coordinates (degrees in latitude and longitude) so that the guests from the future would not turn up in "rival" campuses in Cambridge and find that they were not welcome.
