The science about gravity and wormholes between earth and the sun is real.

assuming anyone is interested. Anything that is Dr. Erskin's theory is my own.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Dun, Dun, Dun. I'm thinking Lois is going to find a pocket into the past. Has Clark been stuck in one of those horrible time wormholes all this time? Bouncing in and out at random intervals to save Lois? Or has he just spent the last century searching for his missing love?

The redorbit.com blog is misunderstanding the science — as I'm reading the NASA PR, it's just talking about magnetic channels or conduits, that direct charged particles along a path. If the channel keeps the particles from colliding and losing energy, they may travel faster than usual. It still takes at least eight minutes to get to Earth from the Sun at light speed, though. There is nothing in a magnetic field that can act like a space-time wormhole. So, no time travel or warp drive here, and no gravity tie-in.

Now forget I wrote that, because it makes no difference to the great story you're writing! It's pretty clear some time-travel is imminent for Lois. She has to get back to be in the photo!

This story is giving me the chills...( in a good way)

Yup. Lois is definitely about to go back in time. The strange colours in the sky are probably a side-effect of a portal.

The only question regarding the dress is whether Lois will buy it in our time or after she journeys back into the past.

It's a good thing Lois has that picture with her; it will probably help her to convince the Clark Kent of the past that she is, in fact, not insane.

Joy,
Lynn

I think this explanation sounds more plausible that the one I think we were given in the story. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie so I'm hoping this wasn't also the explanation there. When I remembered watching it I was shaking my head at the shaky science (and I was just a high schooler that volunteered at a science museum) but getting teary about the end nevertheless.

So much do you bet that Clark was researching this for some reason and went back in time, freaking this scientist out?

*edit* My 1000th post! I'm "Top Banana" now! dance

I'm loving this story ... can't wait to see that first meeting between Lois and Clark.

Yup this explanation is much more acceptable to the one in the film.
Lois handled the good doctor with respect and because of that his stance soften. Truly the signs of a mature reporter.

This story does give me chills ...in a great way!

Buy the dress, Lois! You need to wear to be prepared for the gravitational anomaly to send you back in time!

I like the pseudo-science here. It's sufficiently believable while still being fantastical.

Seems as though Lois has been doing a lot of traveling! First she went to Mackinac Island.

Then (I'm not clear about this) did she go to Smallville to check out stuff about Clark Kent in the Smallville Library? Or did she find info in the Mackinac Island library?

Now, if she's interviewing a professor at the University of Michigan, she must have gone down to Ann Arbor - a five hour drive from Mackinac Island. (Of course, maybe she took a commuter flight.)

Leaving the library, she sighed. She resigned herself to another night of eating alone. At least at home she was able to eat a diet frozen dinner in privacy. Her only choice here was to eat alone at a restaurant.

How sad.

At least there weren’t any alien abduction posters.
:):):)

Quote
“These portals open and close randomly in the atmosphere, dumping tons of energetic particles. They cause geomagnetic storms and cause the aurora borealis to light up. The problem is that they are invisible and unstable.”

I wonder if someone with enhanced vision could see these portals? Hmm?

Quote
Once the Earth had moved past the last point of connection, there would be no way to escape. You’d be trapped forever. There was no way to even know if a human could survive traveling through that kind of wormhole intact.

But what if you weren't human?

Post more soon!
