Learning Physics?

[Bill Cunningham]

All this reminds me of a trip to the library several years ago and was just poking around at anything that looked interesting.. As I was leaving, the Librarian Said fairly loudly "Mr Cunningham I have that book you ordered" Looking to impress, I said (slightly louder than I should have) Oh you mean Stephen Hawking's, A Brief History of Time ? And she said (just as loudly) NO, Gary Larson, Wiener dog Art.. There were several chuckles, to which I replied See! Now that's a range of reading!

My shop cat has started a collection to save Schrodinger's cat.

Unfortunately all he's collected so far is a bunch of planer shavings and a catnip mouse.......Rod.

P.S. Being in the elctrical field I've always used "j".....

Actually, your cat may have raised quite a large sum. The only problem is that when observed the field collapses leaving only the shavings and the security system (catnip mouse)

Heisenberg may have something to say about that collection... you can count the wood chips, but you won't know where they are afterwards...

Good afternoon, Mike.

Let me recommend "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman" It is light reading and very funny in places.

A follow-on is "What Do You Care What Other People Think?"

E**(Pi*i) +1 = 0

I have both of those books. Pure gold!
