Let's face it: Faster than light travel may never be possible, and even near-light speeds may be a pipe dream. But what if we could open a wormhole, to let us jump to another solar system? Or travel in time? More »

In this week's "Ask a Physicist" we're going to give some design specs to the practical time traveler. More »

Party Down may be dead, but protagonist Roman DeBeer's psychotic scifi rants will live on forever. Tragically the show was just canceled, so we decided to compile the greatest hits from our favorite TV nerd. More »

Is anyone else sick of having to stay in the same damn universe when the next one over could be filled with robot dinosaurs and new kinds of cheese? Here's how to find a wormhole and ditch this place. More »

Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza are light graffiti artists, creating otherworldly photographs using various light sources. The eye-popping scenes they compose evoke wormholes, time-travel devices, and eerily lit portals to other worlds. More »

Click to viewLast summer, a condemned house in Houston, Texas was sucked into a small wormhole, its wooden facade slowly slurped though another dimension and spit out into an alley behind the backyard. This bizarre mashup of real estate and theoretical physics was created by local artists Dan Havel and Dean Ruck, who saw in the abandoned house an opportunity to remind people how fragile the fabric of spacetime really is. Below, you can look deep inside the wormhole and see where it comes out on the other end. This is totally what conspiracy theorists are picturing when they say the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland will destroy the fabric of the universe. Sadly, this exhibit has been torn down but its weird science flair lives on. House-sized art exhibit in Texas [via Gadling] Thanks, Marilyn Terrell! More »

The beauty part is that you'd be invisible while you travel between them. The tech you'd use to do this sounds a little like Philip K. Dick's "scramble suit" from A Scanner Darkly. "Metamaterials" that bend electromagnetic fields would create a space from which light couldn't escape, thus making you effectively invisible as you "tunneled" to another spot. When are they going to start selling this at Radio Shack?
