This repository is an alternate universe that revolves around the trolley problem. The reality of the universe is whatever the master branch says it is.
At this point in time, there is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. On a side track, there is one person tied to the tracks. Coincidentally, there is also a fat man on a bridge above the track. If you do nothing, the other contributor, physics, will soon update master such that the trolley kills the five people.
