Um, sir? Are the Grandfather paradox and Novikov self-consistency principle vs. the many-worlds interpretations still going to be on the exam?

handsomejack March 26 2009, 16:07:11 UTC

Good question!

I considered it, yes but that many-worls interpretation can be so broad that I didn't feel I could narrow down a specific answer that would be fair to judge everyone's response against.

Thus, it's going to be an extra credit question. Give me a good theory with well thought out and logical substantiation and you can get anywhere from an extra 1 to 15 points, based on what you give me.

How's that sound?

starchilde_lost March 26 2009, 16:13:12 UTC

...extra credit will probably be a good thing.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 16:16:55 UTC

Oh, don't worry it won't be that bad.

I mean, it's not as if I'm asking you to mock up a working model, right?

Though you know, now that I think about it ...

Do you by any chance know where my projector went? I can't remember if you, or the biology professor borrowed it last.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 16:17:12 UTC

Who me?

king_coffee March 26 2009, 16:19:22 UTC

Did you have someone else in mind?

handsomejack March 26 2009, 16:33:03 UTC

Err, I honestly don't know. What's it look like?

Excuse me, professor? Is this room going to be free around 8:30?

They're using the TA office to store boxes for some reason and there isn't enough room to breathe in there let alone mark papers.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 17:35:31 UTC

It should be, unless any of my students need help with their projects and or have put together a study group.

justashow March 26 2009, 17:36:23 UTC

I only need a small corner. That isn't full of boxes.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 17:39:10 UTC

I think I can provide that.

After all, I like to encourage my students to think 'outside the box'.

Will the final cover any specifics on the String Theory?

handsomejack March 26 2009, 18:11:22 UTC

Expect more specifics on M-Theory but be ready to explain how M-Theory and String Theory relate.

holyinhell March 26 2009, 18:14:46 UTC

Thank you, Professor.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 18:25:16 UTC

Anytime, of course!

Good luck tomorrow.

When you have a moment, Professor, I was hoping I could speak with you about auditing a class or two in your department next semester.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 20:41:09 UTC

Of course! I love having students come and audit my classes. Was there one you were particularly interested in?

cal_sitter March 26 2009, 20:44:41 UTC

Theory of Travel in the Fourth Dimension, actually.

handsomejack March 26 2009, 20:56:51 UTC

That's a good one, one of my personal favorites because there are so many viable theories to discuss!

I would suggest that if you want to audit that class, stick with just that one. It's a lot of material and I'll spend the first 3 weeks going over current practical theories that are discussed more in depth in the class I'm just wrapping up. So it will be a lot of work in a short amount of time.
