How many actual historians/academics here?

I have a reasonably well payed job through my Chemistry, but I always regret that I didn't study History, and especially Ancient History.

The same reason that took me to Astronomy! I see it's not just in Portugal that you can hardly make a living out of history.

I suppose all those formula's do help when coding or scripting, right? ;)

Yeah they did end up doing all the laborious coding. ~;)

Repeat after me:

(1) The flux of any vector field integrated over a closed surface is equal to the divergence of that field integrated over the volume contained within the surface.

(2) Any symmetry exhibited by the Lagrangian of a system implies the existence of a conserved charge. (God bless Emy Noether)

Oh man, those two semesters of engineering physics are coming back to me now... freaking hate Gauss and his stupid law.

I can repeat it but don't have a clue what it means. Not entirely unlike executives repeating buzzwords in my business.

Easy-peasy.

I know, I know, I'm not a physicist per se yet. But I strive to be.

Hurray for Maxwell!!!

and Boltzman!!

Oh and Schrödinger, go play with your cat you fu***** bastard!!

As long as Schrödinger stays away from beer, I'm cool.

Hum..... I think I just learned something today.... I think :dizzy2:

You might have learnt or you might not. if you observe, you'll disrupt the experiment therefore, you've learnt something and you haven't! you have both possibilities happening as we speak.
Therefore, you learned but, you didn't.

After typing this I feel like Pinochio in Shreck 3.

This is an hysterical clip if you get it.

gauss , goebel's and all of them can hang themselves .

No I am not talking about the posibility I am not sure if the description writen on that site was actually a "good" explenation or not. IF it is a good explenatio then I did learn something, if its not then I didn't.

It's ok. It serves it's purpose. It basically shows that quantum mechanics is not an exact science.
