Glad to see there's eight (so far) of us in the 30 - 35 range. :D

34, stuff Chemistry, Tulane; JD, St. Mary's.

Production Supervisor for a fluorochemical manufacturer.

Better Living Through Chemistry! :blink:

Them is fightin' words! :angry::lol:

99% of the items that physicists and humans come into contact with every day DO NOT depend on the quantum state of anything. Hence, MODERN physics is good to know (biophysics: crash test dummies, etc.), but it's not terribly practical.

Chemistry is all about moving electrons around to make really cool stuff, a lot of which is commercially useful. It's practical, useful, has a great impact on the daily lives of most folks even though they don't know it. Just ask a Chem E.

You physics guys waste :rolleyes: all the grant dollars building huge magnetic do-nuts in the ground. I'm in Texas; we were gonna fund the Superconducting Supercollider, after all. B) Gee, a bigger CERN. :lol:

BTW: What happened to Jenna for President?

Actually, QM does have alot of uses on a daily basis (computer chips, for example), but modern physics goes far beyond that. There's Special & General Relativity, for one, not to mention the leaps and bounds of progess afforded across "classical" physics due to man's new best friend, the computer. My (current) speciality is atmospheric dynamics, looking at the effect of sunspot cycles on mid-latitude equitorial wind paterns.. which sounds abstract, but has potentially very important climatic implications.

But that's neither here nor there.. (I'm just baised towards physics because we can derive all of chemistry from what we do)

And Jenna for Prez was killed by my roomie and my girlfriend (two separate entities, both of whom are of the female kind).
