We Physicists Don't Like To Admit It, But Some Of Us Are Closet Science Fiction Fans. We Hate To Admit It Because It Sounds Undignified. But When We Were Children, That's When We Got Interested In Science, For A Lot Of Us.

I Hope We Find Evidence Of Dark Matter In The Lab And In Outer Space. This Would Go A Long Way To Proving The Correctness Of String Theory, Which Is What I Do For A Living. That Is My Day Job. So String Theory Is A Potentially Experimentally Verifiable Theory.

Physicists Often Quote From T. H. White's Epic Novel The Once And Future King, Where A Society Of Ants Declares, "everything Not Forbidden Is Compulsory." In Other Words, If There Isn't A Basic Principle Of Physics Forbidding Time Travel, Then Time Travel Is Necessarily A Physical Possibility. (the Reason For This Is The Uncertainty Principle. Unless Something Is Forbidden, Quantum Effects And Fluctuations Will Eventually Make It Possible If We Wait Long Enough. Thus, Unless There Is A Law Forbidding It, It Will Eventually Occur.)

Science Is The Engine Of Prosperity. But You'd Never Know It, Listening To Some Of The Politicians. They're Lawyers And Businessmen, Not Scientists. Lawyers And Businessmen Massage Wealth; They Don't Create It.
