 What causes cancer? Tobacco smoke, most people would say. Probably too much
alcohol, sunshine or grilled meat; infection with cervical papillomaviruses; asbestos. All have
strong links to cancer, certainly. But they cannot be root causes. Much of the population is
exposed to these carcinogens, yet only a tiny minority suffers dangerous tumors as a
consequence.
A cause, by definition, leads invariably to its effect. The immediate cause of cancer
must be some combination of insults and accidents that induces normal cells in a healthy
human body to turn malignant, growing like weeds and sprouting in unnatural places.
At this level, the cause of cancer is not entirely a mystery. In fact, a decade ago many
geneticists were confident that science was homing in on a final answer: cancer is the result
of cumulative mutations that alter specific locations in a cell's DNA and thus change the
particular proteins encoded by cancer-related genes at those spots. The mutations affect two
kinds of cancer genes. The first is called tumor suppressors. They normally restrain cells'
ability to divide, and mutations permanently disable the genes. The second variety, known as
oncogenes, stimulates growth – in other words, cell division. Mutations lock oncogenes into
an active state. Some researchers still consider that such significant growth-promoting
changes to a small number of cancer genes are the initial event and root cause of every
human cancer.
For the past few years, however, prominent oncologists have increasingly challenged
that theory. No one questions that cancer is ultimately a disease of the DNA. But as
biologists trace tumors to their roots, they have discovered pieces of chromosomes are
frequently scrambled, truncated or fused together. Chemical addition to the DNA, or to the
histone protein around which it coils, somehow silences important genes, but in a
reversible process quite different from mutation.
The accumulating evidence has spawned at least three hypotheses that compete with
the standard dogma to explain what changes come first and which aberrations matter most
in the decade-long transformation of a cell and its descendants from well-behaved tissue to
invasive tumor. The challengers dispute the dominant view of the disease as the product of a
defined genetic state. [A] They argue that it is more useful to think of cancer as the
consequence of a chaotic process, a combination of Murphy’s Law and Darwin’s Law:
anything can go wrong, and in a competitive environment, the best adapted survive and
prosper.
10
 [B] Despite that shared underlying principle, the new theories make different
predictions about what kind of treatments will work best. [C] Some suggest that many
cancers could be prevented altogether by better screening, changes in diet and new drugs – or
even by old drugs, such as aspirin. [D].

answers in the corresponding numbered boxes on the answer sheet. (15 points)
Time Travel
Time travel took a small step away from science fiction and toward science recently
when physicists discovered that sub-atomic particles known as neutrinos – progeny of the
sun’s radioactive debris – can exceed the speed of light. The unassuming particle – it is
electrically neutral, small but with a “non-zero mass” and able to penetrate the human form
undetected – is on its way to becoming a rock star of the scientific world.

12
 Researchers from the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva
sent the neutrinos hurtling through an underground corridor toward their colleagues at the
Oscillation Project with Emulsion-Tracing Apparatus (OPERA) team 730 kilometres away in
Gran Sasso, Italy. The neutrinos arrived promptly – so promptly, in fact, that they triggered
what scientists are calling the unthinkable – that everything they have learnt, known or taught
stemming from the last one hundred years of the physics discipline may need to be
reconsidered.
The issue at stake is a tiny segment of time – precisely sixty nanoseconds (which is
sixty billionths of a second), which is how much faster than the speed of light the neutrinos
managed to go in their underground travels and at a consistent rate (15,000 neutrinos were
sent over three years). Even allowing for a margin of error of ten billionths of a second, this
stands as proof that it is possible to race against light and win. The duration of the experiment
also accounted for and ruled out any possible lunar effects or tidal bulges in the earth’s crust.
Nevertheless, there’s plenty of reason to remain sceptical. According to Harvard
University science historian Peter Galison, Einstein’s relativity theory has been “pushed
harder than any theory in the history of the physical sciences”. Yet each prior challenge has
come to no avail, and relativity has so far refused to buckle.
So is time travel just around the corner? The prospect has certainly been wrenched
much closer to the realm of possibility now that a major physical hurdle – the speed of light –
has been cleared. If particles can travel faster than light, in theory travelling back in time is
possible. How anyone harnesses that to some kind of helpful end is far beyond the scope of
any modern technologies, however, and will be left to future generations to explore.
Certainly, any prospective time travellers may have to overcome more
physical and logical hurdles than merely overtaking the speed of light. One such problem,
posited by René Barjavel in his 1943 text Le Voyageur Imprudent is the so- called
grandfather paradox. Barjavel theorised that, if it were possible to go back in time, a time
traveller could potentially kill his own grandfather. If this were to happen, however, the time
traveller himself would not be born, which is already known to be true. In other words, there
is a paradox in circumventing an already known future; time travel is able to facilitate past
actions that mean time travel itself cannot occur.
Other possible routes have been offered, though. For Igor Novikov, astrophysicist
behind the 1980s’ theorem known as the self-consistency principle, time travel is possible
within certain boundaries. Novikov argued that any event causing a paradox would have zero
probability. It would be possible, however, to “affect” rather than “change” historical
outcomes if travellers avoided all inconsistencies. Averting the sinking of the Titanic, for
example, would revoke any future imperative to stop it from sinking – it would be
impossible. Saving selected passengers from the water and replacing them with realistic
corpses would not be impossible, however, as the historical record would not be altered in
any way.
A further possibility is that of parallel universes. Popularised by Bryce Seligman
DeWitt in the 1960s (from the seminal formulation of Hugh Everett), the many-worlds
interpretation holds that an alternative pathway for every conceivable occurrence actually
exists. If we were to send someone back in time, we might therefore expect never to see him
again – any alterations would divert that person down a new historical trajectory.
A final hypothesis, one of unidentified provenance, reroutes itself quite efficiently
around the grandfather paradox. Non-existence theory suggests exactly that – a person would
quite simply never exist if they altered their ancestry in ways that obstructed their own birth.

13
They would still exist in person upon returning to the present, but any chain reactions
associated with their actions would not be registered. Their “historical identity” would be
gone.
So, will humans one day step across the same boundary that the neutrinos have?
World-renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking believes that once spaceships can exceed
the speed of light, humans could feasibly travel millions of years into the future in order to
repopulate earth in the event of a forthcoming apocalypse. This is because, as the spaceships
accelerate into the future, time would slow down around them (Hawking concedes that
bygone eras are off limits – this would violate the fundamental rule that cause comes before
effect).
