Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 9 November
[Ten looks fairly beat today, though he's in a relatively safe mood.]
Today we're going to be looking at A Brief History of Time, regarding the work of human quantum physicist Stephen Hawking. Sam, you're probably aware of his work with wormholes. As you watch, you don't have to take notes, but I'd like you to consider a few questions.
[He idly spins the DVD on his finger.]
What inspired Hawking to enter this field, and how does that compare to why you're taking this class?
How did and does Hawking use available technology to advance his study? Remember that this film was made almost fifteen years ago in subjective Earth time, so computers were far less advanced.
How do Hawking's theories compare to your own regarding the structure of the universe?
Remember, it's always a good time to reconsider one's own impetus. For anything.
((No, you don't actually have to answer these questions unless you feel like picking up A Brief History... yourself. However, do post as a sign-in, and possibly consider the second part of question one--why is your character taking this class?))
