STORYLINE: Tim, a physics professor with a certain... More > taste for young female university students, recently got a new appointment at a London university. But, as it turns out, he is still unsatisfied. Why? Is it because Rachael unexpectedly left him under strange circumstances? Or does it have to do with his sudden departure from another university? When Tim meets Christianus for a brown-bag discussion on philosophy and science, new facts and perspectives are revealed.
TOPICS: In one scene, Tim tries to use ‘Ockham’s Razor’ to dismiss Christianus’s metaphysical ideas; in another scene, Christianus introduces his ‘Postman’ scenario, the idea that successful (‘scientific’) prediction may not be a sure sign of true understanding.
