A beautiful maiden transformed into a monster variously described, but possibly with six dogs' heads on long necks. Scylla's cave was in a seaside cliff overlooking a strait that also harbored a phenomenal whirlpool called Charybdis. The twin perils are memorialized in the expression "between Scylla and Charybdis". This choice of equally dreadful alternatives was presented to Odysseus on his journey home from the Trojan war. He chose to avoid Charybdis at the expense of losing six sailors to Scylla's multiple maws.
: 6. Explain how time travel may be possible.
This was what I was looking for.....
Wormholes can theoretically transport both matter and energy. To understand how a wormhole makes the distances so short, imagine the following situation:
An ant is on one side of a fairly large piece of paper. If the ant had to walk all the way across the paper, it would take a long time. But if a person folded the paper, there would be less distance for the ant to cross, and therefore the ant could cross more quickly. Wormholes bend space in the same way that the person bent the paper. In addition, just like the ant never crosses the majority of the paper, the transient never passes through the space between the entrance and the destination; he only takes a "shortcut" through the fourth dimension

No.
: 8. Have you seen a UFO?
No. I don't believe the Earth has ever been visted, but I'm sure there is other life out in space somewhere.

Mark Twain
