Fuck Yeah, Science! - Monday Period 2
"Good morning," Barry greeted his class as they entered the room where they would find a portal shimmering next to him. "We're going to dispense with introductions and just jump right into. Today we're going to learn about velocity. Follow me."
Passing through the portal they would find themselves on a race track with a row of racing cars lined up next to the track. They would also find a row of comfortable cots with a strange looking headband next to them.
And finally there was just a table with textbooks on it.
"So the idea here is for you to experience speed and velocity first hand. Now. I could just let you drive the cars but I have no idea of your driving experience. Plus if you crash? You'll probably get hurt or die. And I don't have the equipment here to clone you a new body. So! You're going to control these cars as if you were the car itself. Each of those headbands there link up to an interface within the car. Each car has cameras that allow you to see where you are going and feel how the car feels at high speeds. If you crash? There's no pain other than the one to my wallet."
Sure, Barry just could have created a virtual reality to experience this but where's the fun in that?
"Now if hooking your mind up to a vehicle freaks you out, you can always just write an essay on velocity using the textbooks available. It may not be as fun but I'm not going to push you into anything you're uncomfortable with."
He smiled and gestured to both the table and the cots. "Take your pick and have some fun."
