The metereological phenomenon known as the Morning Glory
is a huge propagating roll cloud that appears in the spring over
the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia. Russell White’s
Web site contains pictures and descriptions of the cloud, as well
as glider pilots’ accounts of “surfing” along the cloud. The longest
article on the site, “The Morning Glory of the Gulf of Carpentaria,”
serves as a good introduction to the topic.

The possibility of time travel was the subject of a television
program originally broadcast by the British Broadcasting Corp
in December 1996. Called The Time Lords, the program included
interviews with many leading theoretical physicists, among them
Kip Thorne and John Wheeler. A transcript of the show is available
on the BBC’s Web site.
