Yea could even ruin your whole year.

Most certainly true. I don't anybody who is in favor of giant asteroid collisions.

Quite true. Even comet collisions are not a lot of fun either.

No, no fun at all.

I am against collisions with all astronomical bodies, in fact.

Yea most astronomical bodies tend to be very heavy and move very fast and I think physics says that means a whole lot of hurt if it hits you.

Quite true, mass times velocity can be a killer.

Yup physics is the law. No getting around it.

In 1897, the state legislature of Indiana considered (but did not pass) a bill decreeing that pi is exactly equal to 3. Gee, if that had passed, then every circle in Indiana would have become a regular hexagon.
That is even more absurd than trying to repeal the laws of thermodynamics by legislative fiat.

Yea I heard about that. LOL Scary and funny at the same time. Comedian Lewis Black once said "The reason politicians cant balance a budget is it involves math and thats complicated."

Indeed, most politicians can't even do simple arithmetic.

Yup. Making the chances for a balanced budget the same as all my atoms reassembling on the planet Mars.

Good one, my friend.

Thanks. You can always count Quantum Mechanics to help you explain the possibilities of a politician doing anything right. LOL

Yes, Quantum Mechanics is an awesome part of physics.

 

[kurchatovium]

Really cool and crazy stuff too.

The parts of physics that go against our intuition need to be understood through mathematics.

Quite true. I think Feynman said if I remember correctly "If anyone says to you they have an intuitive understanding of Quantum Mechanics they are lying." LOL

I had not seen that bit of wisdom from Feynman. Thanks for sharing it with me.

You are most welcome. One book of his that is very good is "QED" which is short for Quantum Electrodynamics. A really big word which just basically explains how light interacts with matter. Feynman offers a very good explanation of the subject.

I can see that I need to learn more about physics.

Well you know a lot more math then me, so for Quantum Mechanics especially, knowing a lot of math is critical to understanding what is going on.

Yes, but I think it is worth it to better understand how the universe actually works.

 

[kurchatovium]

I agree. :iagree. Always amazing whenever you come closer to understanding how the universe works.

Yes, it is a wonderful thing to achieve such understanding.

 

[kurchatovium]

I agree. I needs to learn more math to achieve that... or at least come closer to achieving that. LOL

I have a t-shirt that has Maxwell's equations on it, as shown below.

Above them, it says, "God said ..."

Below them, it says, "... and there was light."
