“Another hotly debated question among physicists is what happens if you enter a wormhole [a shortcut that connects two distant points in space and time] and go backward in time. If you then kill your grandfather before you are born, then you have a paradox. How can you exist at all if you just killed your ancestor? Einstein’s theory actually allows for time travel (if negative energy exists) but says nothing about how to resolve these paradoxes. String theory, because it is a finite theory in which everything can be calculated, should be able to resolve all these mind-twisting paradoxes.”  –  Michio Kaku, The Future of Humanity (Doubleday, 2018)

Debbi Covington Chronicles Sophisticated Cuisine from the South Carolina Lowcountry. By Mark Shaffer  In the interest of full disclosure Debbi Covington is not only a longtime colleague, but a close friend. I even like her husband, Vince. I have her brother in-law Fleetwood’s art on my wall. You might say that I’m connected to the Covingtons as was my wife, Susan. She appreciated forthright people who loved to sip a fine bourbon. And when the worst happened last May, the Covingtons – like so many others – were right there. But I digress.
