5/28 – ShawnTime Travel
Doctor Who, a British science-fiction programme produced by the BBC since 1963,
depicts the doctor’s adventures as he travels through space and time. The Back
To The Future trilogy of movies had worldwide box office revenue of more
than $950,000,000. Yes, people are interested in time travel. But, is it just
fantasy or will it become reality? Physicists are studying “wormholes”; theoretical
passages through space-time. Will these be the corridors we use to travel
through time? If so, would you like to take that trip? In which direction would
you like to go: to the past or to the future? We’ll discuss the possible
benefits and dangers of traveling to another time.

World Heritage Sites
A World Heritage Site is a place listed by UNESCO as being of special
cultural or physical significance. There are currently 1031 World Heritage
Properties; 48% are located in Europe and North America and 23% are located in
Asia and the Pacific. This year, 23 properties have been added to the list and
48 properties have been classified as being in danger. Have you been to any
World Heritage Sites? Do you think being named a World Heritage Site makes the
property more appealing to tourists? What about the negative effects increased
tourism can have on these sites? In which ways can these sites be protected
while still being popular tourist attractions?

discuss what’s recently been happening in Japan and in the world.
