Quantum Physics 305: Thursday 13 October

[The Doctor is relatively happy today, all things considered. He smells faintly of Earl Grey and hand soap, and he's brought coffee, tea, and cocoa for the seminar.]

All right, class...I need your papers from last week. Ms Ivanova, you have an extra week to do the assignment, but I expect it to be done, and done well. I have confidence in your abilities.

[From the corridor comes the sound of someone singing 'Sultans of Swing' by Dire Straits. And the guitar parts. Badly. The Doctor quietly shuts the door, but he's started humming.]

In 123, we were discussing timeline divergence, and I think the topic is interesting and extensive enough to be brought up a level. Tell me about alternate universes you may or may not have experienced, tell me about events in history you think are sufficient divergence points. [Doo doo doo do do do DO DO comes faintly from the hall] Er...share, talk to each other.

And for next week, I expect a written review of a fictional work (you can find plenty in the library) that discusses parallel or alternate universes. Does the concept seem at all realistic in the work? Why or why not?
