Professor Gordrow arranged his thoughts and began his lecture again.\u00a0 \u201cNow before I was interrupted, I was touching on the general topic of First Contact and I mentioned the classic Earth example. \u00a0But to provide the background for that remarkable event I will remind you neophytes of the underlying mathematics.\u00a0 As anyone who has the intelligence to understand it knows Gordrow\u2019s First Theorem of Quantum Chrono-Cosmo-Moiro-Dynamics states that when the probability of historical change uniformly approaches zero in a volume of space that continues to increase toward infinity then the quantum time-space probability reversal will be centered on the asymptotic fault line.\u00a0 This theory in fact was proven following the First Contact we are considering.\u00a0 At that time Earth was at the periphery of a rapidly expanding galactic civilization that had spread from the galactic core over the course of a billion years and was now so rapidly expanding that the odds of any possible combination of events halting its engulfment of the entire Milky Way galaxy was essentially zero.\u00a0 What a perfect test of the theory!\u00a0 Now if you inspect the terms in the denominator of the third term you\u2019ll see \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Professor Gordrow!\u201d exclaimed Dorson Tendandren.\u00a0 Gordrow radiated annoyance and shot back, \u201cWhy are you interrupting me now you idiot?\u201d\u00a0 Dorson continued, \u201cProfessor none of this is clear to me.\u00a0 How could such a regression occur?\u00a0 What possible sequence of events could reverse such an unstoppable force and in such a short time?\u00a0 It seems inconceivable.\u00a0 Can you show us the historical record?\u201d\u00a0 Gordrow was disgusted and his aura reflected it.\u00a0 \u201cShow you?\u00a0 What is this kindergarten?\u00a0 Would you like me to sing you a lullaby too?\u00a0 Would you like me to count from one to a googolplex just to prove that there are numbers in between?\u00a0 Wasting my time in this way is a sin against intelligence and a victory for entropy and just one more fatal step toward the heat death of the universe.\u00a0 Neophyte Tendandren, I intend to see that you suffer exquisitely during my final exam.\u00a0 I will recommend to the professional board that your truest vocational assignment would be as gravitational ballast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Gordrow summoned his composure for a moment and continued.\u00a0 \u201cFor the intellectually challenged who are very temporarily among us I will now play the historical record of the singularity event.\u00a0 Those with normal intelligence are free to take a nap.\u00a0 Dolts, attend!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
