he
said
,
"
there
's
an
infinite
number
of
monkeys
outside
who
want

us

The
Infinite
Improbability
Drive
is
a
wonderful
new
method
of
crossing
vast
interstellar
distances
in
a
mere
nothingth
of
a
second
,
without
all
that
tedious
mucking
about
in
hyperspace
.
It
was
discovered
by
a
lucky
chance
,
and
then
developed
into
a
governable
form
of
propulsion
by
the
Galactic
Government
's
research
team
on
Damogran
.
This
,
briefly
,
is
the
story
of
its
discovery
.
The
principle
of
generating
small
amounts
of
finite
improbability
by
simply
hooking
the
logic
circuits
of
a
Bambleweeny
57
Sub-Meson
Brain
to
an
atomic
vector
plotter
suspended
in
a
strong
Brownian
Motion
producer
(
say
a
nice
hot
cup
of
tea
)
were
of
course
well
understood
--
and
such
generators
were
often
used
to
break
the
ice
at
parties
by
making
all
the
molecules
in
the
hostess
's
undergarments
leap
simultaneously
one
foot
to
the
left
,
in
accordance
with
the
Theory
of
Indeterminacy
.
Many
respectable
physicists
said
that
they
were
n't
going
to
stand
for
this
--
partly
because
it
was
a
debasement
of
science
,
but
mostly
because
they
did
n't
get
invited
to
those
sort
of
parties
.
Another
thing
they
could
n't
stand
was
the
perpetual
failure
they
encountered
in
trying
to
construct
a
machine
which
could
generate
the
infinite
improbability
field
needed
to
flip
a
spaceship
across
the
mind-paralysing
distances
between
the
furthest
stars
,
and
in
the
end
they
grumpily
announced
that
such
a
machine
was
virtually
impossible
Then
,
one
day
,
a
student
who
had
been
left
to
sweep
up
the
lab
after
a
particularly
unsuccessful
party
found
himself
reasoning
this
way
:
If
,
he
thought
to
himself
,
such
a
machine
is
a
virtual
impossibility
,
then
it
must
logically
be
a
finite
improbability
.
So
all
I
have
to
do
in
order
to
make
one
is
to
work
out
exactly
how
improbable
it
is
,
feed
that
figure
into
the
finite
improbability
generator
,
give
it
a
fresh
cup
of
really
hot
tea
...
and
turn
it
on
!
He
did
this
,
and
was
rather
startled
to
discover
that
he
had
managed
to
create
the
long
sought
after
golden
Infinite
Improbability
generator
out
of
thin
air
.
