I'd love some pals who are interested in (or studying) physics. Anyone? :D

    I am pick me! pick me! oh wait you already did. here is a link to one of my favorite authors

    Its is fiction but look at the guys background in science, his books are to die for but when ever I try to get friends to read them after the first page their eyes glaze over and tell me it gives them a headache. Diaspora is a fav of mine but have read all of his books.

    Oo oo ooo!! That would be me. One of my hobbies is studying quantum mechanics and the cosmos. Because I can. :) I have an entire bookshelf of physics books. I'm very much an amateur, but my understanding is great. I love Brian Cox & Brian Greene, as well as Stephan Hawking's works. My big problem is that I am LAME at teh maths. :P

    Fortunately, it appears that as computing moves forward, especially storage, I'll have an advantage from my background of study. :D

    Can I play, too? Physics is one of those things I've always wanted to know more about. On a related note, I did take calculus for fun last fall. :-)

    I'm currently reading "Why does E=mc2 and why should we care", so count me in.

    One of my favorite books is A Brief History of Time. I like reading about the Standard Model. I want to understand quantum dots. I want to know if the cat is dead or alive.

    Yes, I like astrophysics.

    I was just talking to some of my nerdier friends about how we should really work on improving our knowledge of physics and mathematics. Then I see this post and look who it is. Potatocar!!!! It is like you just keep getting cooler every single time I see something you have posted.

    Yes, I am interested in Physics. Science has always been an interest of mine. I studied Biology and Dance. My first college adviser was the physics teacher and he helped co-teach a choreography class about dance and physics. I married an experimental plasma physicist, he is the principle designer working on Fusion energy. I've known him for 17 years and he teaches me physics all the time.

    I like it alright... but I am a physics failure... physics is the reason I'm not a meteorologist... and even then I have my crappy trig professor to blame on that one.

    I'm no astrophysicist, but I play one on TV (in my mind). I think the following sample of my weekly watch list will vouch for me:
    • The Universe
    • Through the Wormhole
    • Outrageous Acts of Science
    • How The Universe Works
    • Wonders of the Universe


    *ETA: My senior year science fair project in superconductivity helped earn me a 2 year full ride college scholarship.

    Remember, folks: Gravity isn't just a great idea, it's the LAW.

    And....physics joke of the day (let's see who gets this one):

    Q. Why did the chicken cross the mobius strip?

    A. To get to the same side


    And lastly, in regards to math, it's important to note that 10 out of every 6 people don't understand fractions or ratios.

    You forgot about Michio Kaku!

    I am a Mechanical Engineer by education and trade, but I love physics. Especially quantum mechanics and particle physics. And am even good at the maths (minored in Mathematics). My cat is named Tori Schrödinger :wink:

    Schrödinger's Eq....brilliant. I wish I was a particle in a box.

    Yeah, everyone in my CHEM 150 class. SHUT UP. No one is here to discuss theoretical physics. We're here to learn how to do middle school math in college. Jerks.

    ....and you teach him the horizontal mambo dance?
