like me‚ the idea of “being capable of travel purposefully and selectively through time” sounds exceedingly marvelous and tempting. I’m so excited at the prospect of being able to travel through time that I find myself wondering hazily whether I should go back to the past or to the future. After considering pros and cons‚ I’ve decided that it’d be considerably risky to know too much about my future‚ as if I do‚ my contemporary life might change forever.

Since the air molecules are already in constant motion‚ the compressions and rarefactions starting at the original source are rapidly transmitted through
