Something cool to do with the tv show "Lost"...

I know how much of a huge fan Sharad is about the t.v. show - Lost. I admit that I have avoided watching the show because I don't want to get sucked into another series. I've heard lots of good things about the show though and may one day decide to watch it.

With this in mind, I was pleasantly surprised when a family friend emailed me a link to a USA Today article. Apparently, my brother who teaches physics at Illinois Wesleyan University was quoted twice in article.

I'll share the quotes (bolded) and give a link to the article.

From the article...

"Andrew Morrison, a Lost viewer who teaches physics at Illinois Wesleyan University, says the producers have so far avoided the physically impossible.

They "have seemingly not (yet) violated any laws of physics, although the technology for how the effects would be accomplished are way beyond present-day engineering capabilities." "

"The Casimir Effect is believed to demonstrate "negative energy," which would be considered necessary to stabilize a wormhole for safe travel", Morrison says."

If you are a fan of the show, this article is a good read.

Pretty cool to be quoted twice in a national newspaper.
