Today I learned that "Eulagisca gigantea" a nasty, giant polynoid worm living in water can grow up to a foot in lengh. Not much known about it besides that its big and probably predatory. This thing scares the crap out of me.

Thanks Koti, that thing will haunt my nightmares till I die...

If Donald Trump published an academic article http://imgur.com/BYn8rVv
That was the best research paper I've ever read, it really is. It has lots of facts, tons of alternative facts you know. The best facts filled with the best numbers and alternative data, but the best data... ROFL...

Although I can't find a pic of me in high school when I had really long hair, here is a pic of Vadim from Dragonforce and I hanging out after the show here in OKC, OK:
Here's a video of my brother and I playing a song we wrote called "Bound by Fate". This was shot during one of our jam sessions.
Here's another video of me playing one of my warm up riffs
I love listening to metal while I write software. Right now I'm listening to Cemetery Gates - Pantera

I remember Dio more for his later stuff, but of course including Black Sabbath. I really like is live works including in London 2005 \m/

Maybe is is worth saying 1978 was the year Judas Priest released the album Stained Class.
Rock on AJB!!! I didn't realize that we have the same taste in music. \m/

The thing that digs at me (here and elsewhere, since this isn't my first quantum rodeo) is the insinuation that your unwillingness to invest the time to learn or that it's not possible to gain the requisite expertise by reading a post or pop-sci article or wikipedia summary, somehow is my fault.
I do apologoize Swansont. I didn't mean to insinuate that my ignorance was your fault. I am investing time to learn physics. Granted, it's at a slow pace, but we all have our lives to tend to and how we invest our time is on us; not you. Furthermore, I don't expect you to teach me or anyone else physics here on the forum. It would be very difficult to teach someone calculus here on the forums. However, when I reply to someone's thread, I try to be as insightful and helpful as I can, but that's me. I don't expect you to have any obligation or even find joy in trying to have a conversation about QM with someone who doesn't have all the prerequisites. I was just hoping for the kind of discussion where you might give us some inights, clues, or perhaps a lengthy conversation regarding the finer points of how atomic clocks work and why my statements are wrong.
In a microwave atomic clock, the transition is a spin-flip, and the electron is a point particle. (I.e. spin isn't physical motion). There is nothing that ties into distance traveled.
I'm currently reading and working the problems in the book, "University Physics", and I plan on getting the Feynman Lectures and a few other books on QM, but I'll start reading about spin-flip. I'm also reading material provided by Mordred. I may not fully understand it until I get a little more background in advanced physics, but I really do want to know how physics explains the universe. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the university here to perform the type of experiments that a professor would normally have the student do, but I'll manage.
