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.

Sonia nods, and writes down what she way saying to Jack (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/229450.html?thread=10985290#t10985290) just before her voice completely gave.

I think you mentioned what the most devastating outcome might have been- we lose, and the zombies overrun the school. But what if the changes were on a smaller scale? Say, we lose a few students, or a teacher? We were lucky, as far as casualties went- but what if we hadn't been?

Yeah, we were really lucky... I suppose the whole school would be different, even if only one student or teacher had died.

She nods again, and frowns.

Or what if one of us had been bitten, and turned? How do you think it would have been handled?
