Wrinkle in time . . .

["Earl J. Moniz" <earlj@moniz.org>]

Hello everyone,
The chapter - "The Tesseract" ...
The term - "tesser" ...
The question . . . what the hell is it?
Is "tesser" the verb form of the noun "tesseract?"
I love the science-fiction genre ... but I am a very superficial fan and
have no idea how hyper-drive or warp-drive engines work ... let alone
the time-warping concept ... geez, I have a hard enough time setting the
clock in the truck from daylight savings to standard time . . . sheesh .
. .!  8-)
Anyone care to give us a little help trying to understand this concept
enough to explain to students?
Primarily, this tesser and tesseract thing ... is it like "grok?"  8-)

Aloha y'all   ...   Earl J.
