Professor Chandar Vapagee spent decades pushing the boundaries of physics.
And failing.
So it was a great surprise when he announced to his class that he’d developed a faster-than-light engine.
It was an even bigger surprise that it was set up in the middle of the lecture hall.
“Ten seconds to ignition!” shouted the professor.
Most of the students ran for the exits but some stayed to watch…
Three… two… one…
The machine vanished, and the professor fell to the floor.
“Oh, it works,” he told the department chair. “Now I need to work on the whole passenger compartment thing.”
