SPOILER!!: prof

Shuffling over to the side so he could drop the hair without anyone noticing, he chuckled at Miss Edwards. "No no, I would never experiment on this bass," he replied shaking his head. "Even if he has always been a fan of muggle transportation and riding on a shuttle to Mars would be something he would be interested in."

"Good evening and thank you all for coming," he greeted as he clapped his hands together twice to get everyone's attention. "Welcome to Astronomy, NOT to be confused with Astrology. For those of you who do not know me or may have forgotten my name, I am Professor Flamsteed and you may call me such or Professor Airey or sir." Hmmm. Odd. No matter. "Today we are going to travel back, figuratively speaking that is, nearly 14 billion years ago. To do this, I need to ask you all a unusual question." He then walked over to the black box on the table. Yep. Time for the big revealing - which really was not all that exciting. With one swift movement, Airey removed the lid and reached into the box to pull out nothing more than a measly chicken egg.

"Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? Or, as muggles will put it, which came first, the chicken or the egg?" he began as he held the egg up for everyone to see. "Originally intended to point out the futility of identifying the first case of a circular cause and consequence, but serves another purpose. It also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began, something that plagued mankind for centuries and still, to a certain extent, remains unknown." He idly tossed the egg in his hand, watching it rise and fall. "I want you all to pretend that this egg is thousands of times smaller than a pinhead. Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny tiny and is also hotter and denser than anything our human minds can imagine." He paused and looked around the classroom at everyone, were they all visualizing this? Yes? Good.

Then, without warning, he tossed the egg especially high into the air and took a BIG step to the right and simply allowed the egg to fall to the ground of the classroom with a SPLAT.

"Can anyone tell me what this was a crude illustration of?"

Sarah knew that was not what they were doing, but she wanted to bring ahppieness around, so creative suggestions was one way.
UGH! Was that the sound of cracking knuckled? Sarah winced, as the sound grated on her nerves... Who did that?

Sarah watched with interest the profossor as he began to talk.. than came the egg. By now Sarah had guessed what was going on and raised "Maybe it is abour the Big Bang Theory" Sarah emphasied the latter part, a theory it will always be. "There is a THEORY that long long ago... scientists are always adding years as to them time is infinite, and it takes a lot of years for their theory to make slight sense... there was a ball of something that exploded on the earth and supposedly made the world we live in, which started a chain of events called evolution... its a long story. Like all muggles science discoveries it is ikely to be debated on, changed, swayed, adapted forever more. Because scientists can never agree on anything" Sarah than eyed the egg on the floor, "Professor" she said in a calm voice, keeping her voice polite, "is it possible that if in the future you have to do such demonstrations you don't use food? Because It breaks my heart to see food wasted, food that could be put to better use" Also, she did not think nice things about people that waasted and she did not want to think that about the professor.
