Quantum Physics 123: Wednesday 30 November

[The Doctor looks...rumpled, and as if he didn't sleep very well. Today would probably be a really bad day to give him a hard time about things.]

Hello. Since you seemed to enjoy Monday's deconstruction of a film so well, we're doing it again--consider this a unit on popular culture representations of time travel in the current period. Today we're watching Frequency, which is a good film, but so very, very bewilderingly wrong on multiple levels when it comes to quantum physics. I want less talking and a short synopsis of what you thought was completely buggered about this film by the end of class.

Also, you need to start working on your projects if you haven't already. If I don't see or hear about you all lurking in the library by this time next week, there will be problems. Trust me, I can find out if you've been in there or not. [slow deadly smile] If you've requested specialty literature from me or find that you need it, please notify me sooner rather than later.


((And yes, notifications are not working for me at the mo. Jack, Ten will be willing to talk to you if you have questions, i.e. 'what's going on?'))

"Not to mention that if it was that easy, everyone would be bringing dead parents back to life. The ham radio industry would be booming."

"Now that you mention it, that could be a really great cottage industry. Even if we limited it to just the kids in this school, we could get a lot of takers."

[[OOC: Then again, as a different movie with a very roughly similar set up posits -- The Butterfly Effect -- it isn't so easy, even with foreknowledge, to change specific things in the past and have everything happen the way you intended to.]]

"Well, sure. I can see it now, 'Bring your dead parent back to life. Oh, I'm sorry...making a live parent dead is down the hall. Please close the door on your way out."
