Bulletins & Other News: March. 02, 2008

Are We Alone? - Next show available March 3, 2008: "The Early Bird Gets the Wormhole"
Here's a time-saver: ditch that car and find your local wormhole. You'll be transported from your front door to Pilates - or to a piazza in Rome, if you prefer - faster than you can say "instant messaging."
We'll get reaction from a physicist and science-fiction fans to the movie "Jumper," that explores the idea of teleportation, and find out whether a wormhole commute is really possible.
Also, futuristic modes of transportation that have yet to crowd the skies: jet packs and flying cars. Whatever happened to them? And, what travel will be like in the year 2050.
Guests:

• Max Tegmark - physicist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• Christian Tenus - MIT sophomore and member of the MIT Science Fiction Society
• Carrie Keach - MIT sophomore and member of the MIT Science Fiction Society
• Doug Hecox - Spokesman for the Federal Highway Administration
• Tom Frey - Executive Director, The DaVinci Institute

Jessica Lynne Gardner - The "Edward Ballister" Project
"There is a project taking place of great magnitude that just might change horror novels FOREVER. We are currently calling it "Edward Ballister". Jeff Ezell (profile name: "Wish World" on my top 10) has come up with a clever way for horror writers to meet, network and put their twisted minds together to produce a one-of-a-kind horror novel. There ARE plans of publishing this book so if there are any interested publishers out there please let us know ;)
