    Here is our PLC's kinship writing about summer-

    P.K.
    Sunny days bring great enjoy
    Everyone is outside
    Ice cream cones melt to the ground

    Where are the days of spending summer days outside
    Playing with neighborhood friends
    Riding bikes down to the park
    Didn’t have to check in with parents
    Just had to be home for dinner

    A.G.
    Neighborhood friends
    Have come and gone
    Escape to the suburbs escape from the cold
    Concrete paths that make up city life
    Or Life

Why do you move slower through time when approaching the speed of light? I know that we can’t travel at light speed, but what is the fastest speed that we can travel that isn’t light speed? Is there any other theoretical way to travel to the past other than something crazy like black holes?  What do you know about black holes?  Do you know anything about paradoxes? Before our meeting, we also sent Dr. Hewitt Isaias's explanation of a wormhole: Wormholes (as the name suggests) are “holes” that theoretically may appear as rips or tears in spacetime. How you may ask? Well imagine the “spacetime” as a cloth. A wormhole appears when the cloth that is spacetime becomes “bent,” and a “h...
