Mohinder was waiting at the front of the classroom, papers at his side. "I'm sure you know that today is our last class together. You can take the next five minutes to check any notes at which you may want to look ( Read more... )

Class met in the Danger Shop today, following a handwavy email. There were balls, ramps, plastic tanks at the back of room, one hooked up projecter and a shortage of windows for anyone to break during the course of the lesson.

Mohinder started out by passing out a few papers. "I know this is your last class before the final, if you have questions ( Read more... )

Mohinder was at the front of a classroom that had an uncanny resemblance to a computer lab; if one which had sprouted typewriters on steroids, interconnections of cogs and valve banks amongst the more usual array of desk and laptops ( Read more... )

Today's class was held in the Danger Shop, set up to mimic the usual classroom enviroment - desks, seating, the reamins of an exhausted building site and one slightly ruffled scientist standing at the front of the room ( Read more... )

Today the equations littering the board behind Mohinder were interspersed with skewed ellipses centred on and orbiting circles ( Read more... )

Thanks to a handwavey email and equally handwavey note stuck on the classroom door, class met outside today and a securely wrapped - he'd become used to the weather, not fond of it - Mohinder stood by the south gate with boxes at his feet ( Read more... )

Beginning to pass round a couple of handouts to the class, Mohinder continued. "Electric charge is property of subatomic particles; current is the movement of charge through conductors or semi-conductors, but not ( Read more... )

"Good morning," said Mohinder, from in front of a board littered with streams of equations. "Today we'll look at time travel, something that although not theoretically impossible, isn't possible. At least not in the here and now."

"Travelling into the future - if you achieve a speed close to that of light - " he said, starting to pass out a couple ( Read more... )

"Practically, engineering is in the business of providing solutions to problems. To make the world - however defined - a better place, or at least attempt to do so. But before considering the practicalities of a solution you need to know exactly what's wrong in the first place." Mohinder launched a short diversion on the definition of human needs ( Read more... )

Today the classroom was half in shadow, blue and green fluorescent ceiling tubes spilling a tinted light over Mohinder as he started to speak. "The electromagnetic light spectrum has permeated our science and our lives completely. From the visible region that illuminates our sense of sight up to transmissions of waves of broadcast radio and ( Read more... )
