Improbable InappropriateA Chapter by New TheoryOne of the lectures of Dr Fence. Special thanks to KLGoode for helping me edit and find the minor errors :)
"Numerous universes overlap each other, each branching out into different possibilities. Every choice you make in your life, broken down into its most basic level, has only two possibilities. Like a switch, it can be either on or off." Dr Fence said to the students all of whom eagerly took all of it in.
He was sort of a legend in the University of Gorfred, one of the leading physicists of the world, and one of the best teachers. The student council revered him as he was one of the very few who put the fun in physics. Despite the fact he was a physics professor, he was a great story teller. He made it sound like a plot from sci-fi movies, students were very fond of him. "But then there would be millions of possibilities, millions of universes, wouldn't there?" Jessie asked from the front line. She was the one always eager to ask questions, always wanting a little more explanation. The rest of the class hated her. The teachers loved her. "Exactly my dear, there would have been millions of universes my dear but then a time comes when numerous universes collapse to form a single universe. Hence there are only a few combinations possible. Imagine this, you had two switches for a single bulb in one setup and then in another setup you have just one switch for the light bulb. In the first setup you have four combinations right, on-off, off-off, off-on and on-on but you have only two results. For the first three cases, you have the light as not glowing while in the last case you have the light glowing. In the second experiment you have one case in which light glows and one case in which light does not glow. So the results are same but due to a change in parameters, in first case there was 4 universes created but 3 of them had one result and the one had the other." Dr Fence said as the whole class sat in silence looking at him in awe. Everyone, that is, except one guy who raised his hand from the back of the class. One by one everyone's gaze shifted to his direction where he stood casually in his white tshirt and jeans. Jessie was fuming as she was the only girl who asked questions. Who was this new guy? She hated him for trying to steal her thunder from her. Her eyes were filled with anger and she couldn't wait to hear the question this smart mouth would come up with. "Bring it on." she said slowly. Dr Fence craned his neck to look at this guy. "Yes, what is your question, young man." He asked gently. The guy looked a little tense now as all eyes were on him. He sheepishly said "I... I think I am in the wrong class."
