<Speaking of time travel, Cramer has been in the midst of a real-life 
experiment in retrocausality - a kind of backward flow of information 
from the future to the past. I first wrote about this experiment 
almost two years ago, and Cramer recently told me that he's still 
trying to get the apparatus to work. Perhaps what Stephen Hawking 
said is true: Nature abhors a time machine.

Cramer, who's also on one of the research teams using the 
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, has often said that he'll write 
either a scientific paper or a novel about backward causality.

"If the experiment works, then I will be on to some very interesting 
roads to success," Cramer said, "but I'll probably end up writing the 
novel rather than making the discovery. In a sense, doing the 
experiment is background for the novel.">
