Physics

Every fun play has something that allows it to transubstantiate the meta physics of our world. I purposely wrote in a lot of fluid reality. I personally enjoy magic realism as a literay style. After watching the memory of Water for the first time I desired soemthing that moved my play beyond the ordinary.

The background for the physics for my play came from watching TV one night. I was channel surfing and found a segment from the TV show Flashforward. Basically, it had the Australian guy from Lost talking about a physics thought problem called Schrödinger's cat. Simply, put it deals with probability and the uncertainty of an observing scientist as to what has happened in a closed experiament. I decided to use the many earths interpretation of the Cat paradox to move forward saying that both probabilities exist at the same time allowing for something to be both alive an dead until the reality is determined. This while not factually what the thought problem says creates an interesting place for the characters to speak from. For the play I considered each character as a seperate object moving on a set path until another object acted up them.But choice is also an option so fate and choice fight one another. This can be better described as Philip Warren Anderson's Symmetry breaking.
