The Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields; Tuesday, Period 4 [ 11/23].

"Today's lesson," Farnsworth said to his students once class had started, "should be one that you should all excel in, as we will be studying a particular branch of science that explores how the simplest and most stupid solution is often the best. I am speaking, of course, of troll science. And while troll science is a tried and true science in my century, you young people are living on the cusp of the troll science revolution! It has just started to get some notice, and so the ideas may be too new and innovative for your primitive minds, but, remember! In the past, new sciences have always been regarded with great skepticism. Gravity, anyone? Heliocentricism? Evolution?"

"I have collected for you a workbook of variety of troll science theories, and we will go through them and discuss which ones may be crap and which ones will likely live on to be discovered as legit] scientific fact. For example, the Flying Cat theory, which, in 2956, inspired governments the universe over to ban the buttering of cats when flying cats became a plague upon decent human beings. Others, however, such as the Chimney Loop are pure and utter crap, because everyone knows that Santa is a homicidal maniac, and no one would want him continually coming to their home. And some are not quite ready for this time period, as the Unlimited Uranium theory may suggest.

"Also, keep an eye out for which ones are supported by topics already discussed in this class. As you can see, the missing link theory compliments the Grandfather Paradox discussed a few weeks ago, the Sixth Dimension theory may shed some angles on our discussion of dimensions, and, of course, there is the very practical application of the aforementioned Superduper Symmetrical String Theory."

"I would like, then, to discuss some of the many Troll Science theories in class today, and would also like to see if you can come up with your own, though, let's be honest, they're likely all going to fall into the category of pure and utter crap."

[[ please wait for the OCD used magnets for infinite OCD! Some Troll Science links can be fairly NWS, slightly offensive, and...okay, probably not safe for anyone with an inkling of intelligence, but I can just be a terrible person sometime. The first one, at least, is just a simple Encyclopedia Dramatica explanation and I tried to keep the examples decent, if only offending the artistic eye and a sense of a proper grammar, except the Missing Link one. ]]

Chuck was busy staring as he flicked through his workbook. He might not have been listening so much to the lecture, but at least he was staring on topic. Call it starting his discussion research a little early.
