I Get Physics!

Not really.
Although, I do understand it better now than
I ever would have in High School.

Tonight, I started to watch Nova's
The Fabric of the Cosmos - Quantum Leap.

If it wasn't for The Big Bang Theory, I would
have not recognized anything or anyone except Albert Einstein.
 Watching some TV programs gives me the illusion that I get Physics!

Quantum Mechanics.
Neils Bohr.
Erwin Schrödinger.
Electron Waves.
Probability.
It was like I understood all the equations
they were flashing up on the screen.
Of course, I did not, although I did enjoy it.
At least up until they started talking
about probability and Casino's.
I guess they need to dumb it down & make
it relate-able to us simple folk.


It did make me think about one of my favourite Big Bang
Episodes. The one where Sheldon & Leonard got robbed.
Sheldon's Pictionary drawings:

Hydrogen Atom......H
Plus Pigs minus P
HIGS

    Bow
     General Zod trapped in the Phantom Zone  
    BOW ZONE

Pear
Tickle
PEAR TICKLE

HIGGS BOSON PARTICLE
How could you not get that?
