The Book:
The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a few seconds, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace. As the Improbability Drive reaches infinite improbability, it passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe almost simultaneously. So you're never sure where you'll end up or even what species you'll be when you get there. It's therefore important to dress accordingly. The Drive was invented following research into finite improbability often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess's undergarments leap one foot to the left in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy. Many physicists said they wouldn't stand for that sort of thing, partly because it debased science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sort of parties.

The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method
00:00:04.008 --> 00:00:07.062
of crossing interstellar distances in a few seconds
00:00:07.725 --> 00:00:10.873
without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace
00:00:10.977 --> 00:00:14.209
As the Improbability Drive reaches infinite improbability
00:00:14.314 --> 00:00:18.296
it passes through every conceivable point in every conceivable universe
00:00:18.004 --> 00:00:20.013
almost simultaneously
00:00:20.234 --> 00:00:22.298
So you're never sure where you'll end up
00:00:22.402 --> 00:00:25.999
or even what species you'll be when you get there
00:00:25.115 --> 00:00:28.998
It's therefore important to dress accordingly
00:00:28.159 --> 00:00:32.482
The Drive was invented following research into finite improbability
00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:34.688
often used to break the ice at parties
00:00:34.792 --> 00:00:38.999
by making all the molecules in the hostess's undergarments
00:00:38.129 --> 00:00:40.152
leap one foot to the left
00:00:40.256 --> 00:00:42.786
in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy
00:00:42.917 --> 00:00:46.447
Many physicists said they wouldn't stand for that sort of thing
00:00:46.551 --> 00:00:48.066
partly because it debased science
00:00:48.765 --> 00:00:52.754
but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sort of parties
