Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 5 October

[The Doctor smiles as he enters the classroom, smelling faintly of grilled beef and malt vinegar. He perches on the desk.]

Today we're going to continue our discussion from Monday. Mr Crichton had a good point when he speculated that Fandom High is a crossroads of sorts between our different worlds. Do you think that we now currently exist in all of those worlds? None of them? Or perhaps just slightly askew dimensionally?

It's an interesting thought to ponder. Let's talk about the consequences of that--just in general terms, no need to get overly scientific.

Oh, and as this weekend is Homecoming and you'll be drinking and snogging instead of studying, and so will I, I'm not assigning any homework this weekend--BUT there will be some assigned on Monday. I'll also get last week's homework back to you then because I was too 'busy' last night to finish it.

Wasn't it alive *and* dead? So does that mean we exist in all worlds *and* none?

::stops, and thinks::

Yes. So, if we exist somewhere, we exist everywhere. And nowhere.

::pinches the bridge of her nose::

Okay, this doesn't make sense.

I think you need to drink heavily to understand this.

Okay. Hi. I see you. You're Cally. I recognize you, so therefore you exist. Unless I don't exist or am imagining you and did I mention the heavy drinking? So we can say with some certainty that you don't NOT exist.

...right?

Why the hell do I have to understand the theoretical aspects of time travel in order to be a time agent? Just put me in the ship and let me go!

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Right. It's all down to perceptions again... cause if you're percieving me as existing, that would mean that you're also assuming that your perceptions as real, and that you too exist.

...Did I actually say something that made sense?

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I got very confused.

::sighs::

Maybe we should just do that whole "Drink Heavily" plan. That makes more sense than any of this.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

What do you say after class we head into town and try that "Drinking Heavily" thing? Spike's Pub?

::a little surprised::

Oh. I... Okay. ::blinks::

::Did a guy really just ask me to go drinking with him? Frakkin' Awesome!::

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Great! I'll see you there.

[OOC: Will probably have to slow-play it.]

::smiles, and nods::

[ooc: Slow play is perfectly fine.]
