Fandom High School

Someone was scrambling on the crafts portion of the class, it would seem. Or thought that puppets were awesome for high school age students. Who knew? There were some helpful worksheets on how to make paper bag puppets and all the supplies of glue, construction paper and paper bags that one might desire waiting for the class when they arrived. Fun times!

But that wasn't the important part if you asked Reed. The lecture waste important part, damn it.

"A wormhole is, contrary to what you might have seen or read in science fiction, purely speculative," Reed said, bringing up an image of a wormhole for them to see what he meant. "We have yet to actually observe one happening to prove or disprove our theories.But according to our understanding of timespace as it stands now, they are possible."

Oh yeah, science for the win there.

"The initial theory was known as the Einstein-Rosen Bridge--" AND NOT A GODDAMN RAINBOW. THOR. MAKING SCIENCE CRY. "--in which Einstein's field equations were solved with vacuum solutions. This theory, though, does not mean travel through them is possible."

He took a moment to write up the equation for this particular kind:



"This particular type of wormhole is unsustainable and unstable. It's likely to simply pinch off and disengage before even light could pass through."

Sorry, scifi writers!

"But there is a second type that is thought to be traversable. This one is more in line with common perceptions of what a wormhole is," Reed said, adding a second equation.



"These are thought to involve travelling from one universe to another, near instantaneous travel within a single universe, or, possibly, even time travel. Though, as I said before, these remain only speculations until we have hard data on the matter and not simply math."

Today, the classroom set up was altered enough to allow room for a number of pottery wheels for each student to work at should they not wish to take notes on the lecture. But what were the odds of that happening?

Reed had a lab coat on as his only concession to the no doubt messy work of pottery making. Because science was way more important than pottery, darn it. "Hello, everyone!" he said cheerfully, passing out a worksheet of a simple, easy to understand explanation of how to make a pot with those wheels. It was probably for the best that Reed did it this way because the Ghost jokes would be rampant otherwise. Rampant!

"While you work on your pots or whatever else you feel like making." A beat. "Please, nothing offensive."

Look, Johnny trained him and everything! Awww, best family ever.

( Supermassive black hole! )

When class arrived, there was a small pile of popsicle sticks and good amount of yarn waiting for them. Someone had spent the night before, frantically trying to find an 'art and craft' for his students to do upon realizing just what the class title had been changed to.

( There might have also been a long lecture about Respecting Science that Reed had the sinking suspicion didn't work to convince Johnny to stop. )
