Anders Sandberg wrote an excellent piece on it in 2001 (I think, or
2002?) when the exhibit was just getting known in Europe. The archives
are not up from that time, and I think I was offline enough that I
wasn't saving all of the posts because now I can't find it. Someone,
who has the extropians list archived more completely, can check?

"CALIFORNIA magazine, in an article on "The Man Who Invented Time Travel",
even  ran a photograph of me doing physics in the nude on Palomar Mountain.
I was mortified---not by the photo, but by the totally outrageous claims
that I had  invented time machines and time travel."  -- Kip Thorne
