Quantum Physics 123: Monday 17 October

[The Doctor is slightly jacked up on coffee.]

Thanks to everyone who turned in their papers last week in such a prompt manner. I appreciate it immensely. You'll get your papers back on Wednesday. So far everyone's doing well enough.

So far we haven't done much with the practical application of time travel. I want to have you do some not-quite hands on work, some that won't involve having you create paradoxes and me having to fix them. It's a very big pain, trust me.

This week we're going to be doing assignments in pairs. If there's an odd number of students, then there can be one group of three. I want you to take a particular event that happened recently at Fandom High and theorise as to different possible outcomes. Be creative, but don't be outrageous. The hard part of this is that you'll have to check things against your partner's work, so I'd like you to work with people that you don't know as well.


Oh, and Mr Harkness, you're not in trouble, but I'd like to talk to you after class.

[He closes his eyes for a moment and takes a deep breath, then opens them and looks her as...well...as straight in the eye as possible. His voice is kind enough.] I'm just curious as to why you seem to attend so often.

[The Doctor attempts to understand exactly what the hell she means. It takes a moment, but he thinks he might have it.] What expects you to be here? The world?

*Delirium pauses. It's not easy to read the cues of a large, brightly coloured beach ball, but she seems suddenly much more distracted*
