would affect the future.

Can you explain that?

Yes.

If we take...

Imagine we're at a fork

in the road of time

and each of these forks

represents

a different universe.

I could take the left fork

and leave this orange be

or I could take the right fork

and squash the orange

with my shoe.

Well, the orange didn't squash

but you get what I mean.

Thanks.

I believe, however, that both

these forks or universes

still exist.

My choosing

to squash the orange

doesn't mean

that the normal orange squash

universe suddenly

vanishes, ergo,

going back in time

and changing something

doesn't actually

affect the future

because every possible

future still exists.

Are you sure

about that, Stephen?

Yes.

Well, I'm 99% sure.

So if every possible

combination of events

exists somewhere

then there must be a universe

identical to this one,

except, that the orange...

Is called an apple.

Yes.

And on that note, I think

we should thank Stephen

and allow him to eat

what is left of his lunch.

And, class, don't forget

that Stephen will be giving

the second part of his lecture

at the same time next week.

Thank you.

Oh, Stephen,

I almost forgot.

This came down

from the grants board.

They've rejected

my funding request again.

Oh, well,

look on the bright side.

In some parallel universe

you've probably got

more research funds

than you can use.

But seriously though, Stephen,

the board's worried about you.

I'm worried about you.

I'm fine.

You're pushing

yourself too hard.

Please, don't make

that mistake again.

I'm fine, really.

I think this young lady

wants to talk to you

about your lecture.

So I'll leave you in peace.

Annie.

Yes.

Conrad, this is our

new assistant Annie.

Good to have you

aboard, Annie.

You know we can't pay you.

Stephen explained.

Poor as church mice

and all that.

Come on an

exciting day then.

So I've heard, big test.

Here we go then.

Fingers crossed,

38th time lucky.

Annie, do you ever have

deja vu?

Yes, I had it

today actually.

It's the strangest feeling.

Oh, I think occasionally

human beings catch a glimpse

of the fourth dimension.

Sort of, ripples in time

like deja vu.

You actually think

I glimpsed another dimension?

Exactly.

Of course, most of the time,

we can't see these ripples.

Our brain just can't process

that sort of information.

So we subconsciously

brought them out.

But this machine

helps us focus in on them.

Conrad, so the destination

is our garden 15 years ago.

It's going to work.

It's going to work.

Quickly, Conrad.

How bad is it?

I've told him

time and time again

we need money to buy

some decent components.

Not this second-hand rubbish.
