Last week's homework is due now, please. I already have it from Lady Jessica, Ms Cally, and Mr McCoy. The rest of you have no good excuses, including zombies. Those who do not have it will be marked down.

Today we're going to move into the practical, namely, the presence of time travel in our respective worlds. We're going to have a discussion on this topic in class, and your homework for Monday is to summarise your own home dimension's views on time travel--for example, whether or not it is possible in any form.

So, let's get started.

In my universe, people have seen the future, although it has, so far, been impossible to actually travel through time.

An interesting side effect, incidentally, of seeing the future is that in the act of seeing, one actually in effect anchors the future. Once foreseen, never changed.

That phenomenon may be unique to your universe, Lady Jessica. It is quite interesting indeed.
