WEIRD |

For the final project, I set out to answer an age old question: Do timetravelers exist? If so, do they live in Austin. And do they read the "Shots in the Dark" feature in the back of the Austin Chronicle?
|
||
To do this, I conducted a simple experiment. On Sunday, May 14 2006 CE, I placed this ad in next week's edition of Shots in The Dark: "To any time travellers: Meet me on May 14th at 3:00 in the hallway connecting CMA and CMB." | ||
Then, it was just a matter of waiting. | ||
A few minutes before 3:00 we went into the hallway, waiting for anyone to respond to the ad. | ||
At three o'clock precisely, our man from the future appeared. We took a photo of him, but for some reason, the picture didn't develop. My theory: Tachyon interference from his time machine. | ||
I ran down as fast as I could to try to talk to him, but by the time I got there, he had already gone back to the future. | ||
But he had left a note. | ||
So, in the end, my experiment worked. BUT AT WHAT COST? |
