Professor says not too far off Posted: 20 Oct 2015 04:24 PM PDT Thought you'd celebrate the real Back to the Future Day with a ride on your hoverboard or in your flying car? Sadly, that's not going to happen in time for Wednesday; but the levitating technology Marty McFly encountered in his jaunt through Oct. 21, 2015 during the 1989 film "Back to the Future II" isn't as far-fetched as it might seem. |

And, the party won't be over when the sun burns out in another 6 billion years. The bulk of those planets - 92 percent - have yet to be born. |
