It would appear that longstanding and tricky paradox of time travel, that one who travels backward in time could conceivably influence it to the point where the time travel couldn’t have happened is dead. All hail the longstanding and tricky paradox. This, the “grandfather paradox,” is so named because of the thought experiment used to illustrate it.

A time traveler could theoretically go back in the past and murder his own grandfather, which would render the time traveler non extant, and thus would lead to the paradox of the time traveler never having been able to go back in time in the first place. Pudding. The same holds true in a less dramatic fashion for subatomic particles like quarks and photons, which hold a much higher likelihood of ever traveling into the past, based on the strange, spooky behavior they’ve demonstrated for the people who’ve studied and been alarmed by them thus far. This little conundrum made time travel fundamentally dangerous, if not impossible.

Gadgets - StumbleUpon. Invisible 'Covert' Drawer Lock Uses Magnets | Gadget Lab | Wired.com - StumbleUpon. What’s the most secure place to hide something? A place that’s not there, of course. Or the next best thing, a place that appears not to be there. And this is just what Quirky’s invisible Covert drawer lock aspires to be. As with any magic not involving mirrors, the Covert uses magnets. The gadget consists of three parts: a two-section lock and a magnetic key. The lock sticks both to the inside of the drawer’s front panel and to the top of the surrounding cabinet (making it useful only for the topmost drawer). Think about those sliding security chains for doors and you pretty much have the idea. Now, this is more maskirovka than real security, as anyone with a magnet and knowledge of your lock can open it. The Covert is currently in the “upcoming” section of Quirky, which means that it has to be honed and improved before it goes on pre-sale, and then you’ll have to wait for months to actually get one.
