Teaser Tuesday (June14)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Physicists often quote from T. H. White’s epic novel The Once and Future King , where a society of ants declares, ‘Everything not forbidden is compulsory.’ In other words, if there isn’t a basic principle of physics forbidding time travel, then time travel is necessarily a physical possibility. (The reason for this is the uncertainty principle. Unless something is forbidden, quantum effects and fluctuations will eventually make it possible if we wait long enough. Thus, unless there is a law forbidding it, it will eventually occur.)

( ~ Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos by Michio Kaku 2006, Kindle Edition)

[Note: As many of Michio Kaku’s books, both a source of ideas for speculative fiction writers and a compelling reading for everybody.]

    He always makes everything sound so plausible and obvious – even things I’ll never be able to understand. Never read anything by him, but I love seeing him on TV. Good teaser – thanks for sharing.

    Here’s my teaser from a vintage Sharyn McCrumb mystery

    Scientists have this way of making even the most outlandish things sound reasonable. I can’t argue with probability.
