Quantum Physics 123: Monday 3 October

[The Doctor fairly BOUNCES into class this morning, wearing one of his typical brown pin-striped suits. He looks almost too cheerful, but is genuine.]

Hello all--please turn in your homework, synopsising last week's discussion. Mr Gaeta--your homework from last week is late, please get it to me as soon as possible. And has anyone found Mr Sark yet?

Today, we're going to discuss the possibility of inter-universal travel. Using the principles of quantum physics, we've determined that it is, in fact, possible to travel in time and space, but only within one's own universe.
So how do we explain the existence of a place such as this? [gestures around him to the school] How do we explain interactions with versions of ourselves that I don't REMEMBER with the mysterious 'dopplegaengers' about? That latter question seems to be on everyone's mind.

No homework for Wednesday. I just want a good discussion.

Homework:

For those in early 15th century Romania, the idea of time-travel is not simply unbelievable, it's unheard of. Even suggesting the possibility of the concept might be enought to land vun in a madhouse. To them, time is a linear, unchangeable thing.

Personal experience has taught me othervise, though. Vaking up to find yourself in a vurld five centuries later vill do that.
