skywaterblueNeil Gaiman's When the Saucers Came poster. He read this at the Las Vegas Book Festival and it was my favorite bit that he read.
Remember when I did that poll about how it makes me cranky that Star Trek and Doctor Who have both the Many Worlds and Copenhagen Interpretations? Well, this interview with Bob Orci says that the new Star Trek movie (and conversely, ALL OF STAR TREK EVER) conforms strictly to the Many Worlds theory of Quantum Physics. And that's why you shouldn't worry about the movie being a reboot, because it's not a reboot -- it's a story where our Spock (Spock Prime? Spock from the 616? Will's Spock?) travels backward in time into a different universe where things are mostly the same but just a bit different.
Finally: I can't afford to pay my yearly LJ fees, and it's due in three days. I don't know if I should beg my mother or beg my friends list. But since I beg my mother for lots of money lately, and some of you have the unfortunate habit of liking my shiftless ass, maybe I'll beg you.
Mostly I just wanted to talk about the physics of Star Trek, though.

Fuck me, Night Court
Date: 2008-12-14 08:58 pm (UTC)I don't mind the flex and fixed bits of Doctor Who changing so much as it bothers me that this is a universe where you can destroy time by changing something you SHOULDN'T, but there are still parallel universes.
