The premise of the novel is that a graduate student stumbles upon a device that can time jump into the future. The catch is that every time he uses it, it leaps forward by a factor of twelve.

My question to you is, if you were using such a device (assume you can bring a car load of supplies with you, but can never go back to the past) how far forward in time would you travel before you stopped and why? Here's a breakdown on how the leaps stretch out:


1. 12 seconds by 12 = 144 seconds

2. 144 seconds by 12 = 1,728 seconds or 28.8 minutes

3. 28.8 minutes by 12 = 345.6 minutes or 5.76 hours

4. 5.76 hours by 12 = 69.12 hours or 2.88 days

5. 2.88 days by 12 = 34.56 days

6. 34.56 days by 12 = 414.72 days or 1.14 years

7. 1.14 years by 12 = 13.63 years

8. 13.63 years by 12 = 163.62 years

9. 163.62 years by 12 = 1,963.4 years

10. 1,963.4 years by 12 = 23,560.6 years

11. 23,560.6 years by 12 = 282,728 years

12. 282,728 years by 12 = 3,392,732 years

Hacked emails show that efforts made to hide data, suppress opposing views, and discourage critical research.

The tip of the coil broke off and pieces of glass fell onto the carpet and onto a small pillow and some items that were under the lamp. I cleaned them off with a damp cloth and did the same thing with the carpet. I used tape to pick up pieces of glass. I also washed the pillows along with some bibs that were near by. Should I not use the bibs if I washed them with the pillow? How is it that a tiny bit of mercury can "contaminate your washer"? I let the room air out also.
What else should I do or should I not even worry about it?

: I forgot to mention that the crib is about a foot away from the bulb does that matter.

I went to see a chiropractor at the start of this year for a suspected trapped nerve in my neck. The chiropractor took an X/Ray of my full spine, started making 'adjustments' to my lower back, upper vertebrae & neck. I went through 12 weeks of adjustments, 12 weeks of muscle spasms & therefore chronic pain and now find myself losing my job through ill health. Before you say I can take them to court, I signed a disclaimer in order to get my money refunded, so therefore don't have a case

Is Mars appreciably darker than Earth, owing to its distance from the sun? Or is that depreciation in light only negligable and hardly noticeable?

Jupiter and Saturn, which are really pretty far out there, throw back an awful lot of light. Although they might not even have solid surfaces, their satalites do. How much light reaches their surfaces? Is the sunlight tarting to look dark and cold?

Uranus and Neptune also reflect enough of the sun's light to be visible with the instruments of the 1700s, and because of their gosh-awful distances, must be very tiny in our nighttime sky -- yet even they are illuminated by the sun enough to be seen with telescopes.

And what about those other planetoid bodies, like Pluto, and 2003 UB 313? -- twice as far out as Pluto?

That's really hard for me to imagine. Yet I'd guess the sun'd still provide a little heat and trace light, and be considerably brighter than regular stars, even for something twice as far out as Pluto.

If a bottle of grape juice is opened then closed for a few weeks, will it ferment on its own? I had a bottle with a tiny bit of juice remaining at the bottom. The lid had been on for several weeks. When I opened it, it smelled alcoholic. Was it alcoholic, or just bad? If it had fermented, could a full bottle be opened then closed and left for a few weeks and ferment, or would there not be enough air?

Do you believe that there are truly paranormal spirits or ghost wondering around the earth? Have you had a personal experience? If so, what were they?
