Quantum Physics 305: Thursday

[comes in looking slightly dazed...and confused...]

Hello, class. I'm the Doctor, and welcome to the Quantum Physics seminar. Since all of you have had time travel experience, I'm going to assume that you all have encountered the concept of a paradox. If you haven't, please raise your hand.

Today we are going to discuss the possible effects that paradoxes have on their perpetrators. For example, Marty McFly's causal paradox led him to slowly disintegrate both his family and himself. What other sorts of effects have paradoxes had, either ones that you have witnessed personally, or have heard of?

Homework will be assigned via email tomorrow.

Nothing, really. Just the still in our backyard blew up, which in theory lobs a fireball directly at the park.

Anyway, as to your question - I don't believe I've encountered a paradox, even though several of my friends have encountered future or past versions of themselves. Sheridan told me of the one time when he was accidently shifted into his own future, and warned to not go to Z'ha'dum. Which, of course, meant that he went as soon as being restored to his own timestream.
