“My father used to read me bedtime stories out of this book called Evolution of Consciousness,” Case says. One night he drew two points on a piece of paper. He asked what the shortest distance was from point A to point B. “A straight line,” she said. “There’s an even shorter distance,” he responded. And he folded the paper over so the two points touched — “which is the idea of a worm hole. Compressed time and space,” Case says. “He told me this when I was 4 or 5, and I would think about it every single night.” – Amber Case

Reminds me of the way they travel in A Wrinkle in Time. I’m not sure I remember what it’s called. Tessering?

I also thought of A Wrinkle in Time! Remember the picture of the ant on the string? (Here’s a photo of it that someone’s uploaded: http://www.flickr.com/photos/youraccount/4182605045/)
