The wizards began to gather around the device.

|

'Can you see into the future?' said Lord Vetinari.
|
||||
|
||||
'In /theory/ yes, sir.' said Ponder. 'But that would be highly... well,
|
||||
inadvisable, you see, because initial studies indicate that the fact of
|
||||
observation would collapse the waveform in phase space.'
|
||||
|
||||
Not a muscle moved on the Patrician's face.
|

|

'Pardon me, I'm a little out of date on faculty staff,' he said. 'Are you
|
||||
the one who has to take the dried frog pills?'
|
||||
|
||||
'No, sir. That's the Bursar, sir,' said Ponder. 'He has to have them
|
||||
because he's insane, sir.'
|
||||
|
||||
'Ah,' said Lord Vetinari, and now he /did/ have an expression. It was that
|
||||
of a man resolutely refraining from saying what was on his mind.
|
||||
|
||||
'What Mr Stibbons /means/, my lord,' said the Archancellor, 'is that there
|
||||
are billions and billions of futures that, er, /sort of/ exist, d'yer see?
|
||||
They're all... the possible /shapes/ of the future. But apparently the
|
||||
first one you actually /look/ at is the one that /becomes/ the future.
|
||||
It might not be one you'd like. Apparently it's all to do with the
|
||||
Uncertainty Principle.'
|
||||
|
||||
'And that is...'
|
||||
|
||||
'I'm not sure. Mr Stibbons is the one who knows about that sort of thing.'

'And the help of, oh, sixty apprentices and journeymen from the Guild of
|
||||
Cunning Artificers. Perhaps there should be a hundred. They will need to
|

work round the clock.'
|

'Apprentices? But I can see to it that the finest craftsmen--'

Leonard held up a hand.
|

'Not craftsmen, my lord,' he said. 'I have no use for people who have
|

learned the limits of the possible.'

|

He hesitated. Lord Vetinari was not a man who delighted in the technical.
|
||||
There were two cultures, as far as he was concerned. One was the real
|
||||
one, the other was occupied by people who liked machinery and ate pizza
|
||||
at unreasonable hours.
