Professor Olum: Tufts' Own "Debbie Downer"

Professor Olum: Tufts' Own "Debbie Downer"
You know how when you go to a sports game, and you see this amazing play and everyone is all like, "Whoa, that was incredible, I'm so impressed and excited right now!" and then some random heckler in the audience is all, "Pssh, that wasn't so great, I could have done that, except I wouldn't even want to, because it sucked and it's not going to amount to anything anyway?"

Yeah, Professor Ken Olum is that guy. While researchers in Israel are busy figuring out how to make a time machine (possibly the sweetest job ever), Professor Olum is the guy who comes out and says it probably won't work. He even describes time machine research as being about "what kinds of things we cannot have." Dude, no. Time machines are about dinosaurs, getting rich off the stock market, and destroying Crocs before they ever existed. Duh.
