I just learned about the energy needed for an electron to jump orbits. Particle - wave. Lightening - jump. Lose energy fall back in to the lowest state. THERE ARE MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS FOR THIS!!!! I know, I remember them from 6th grade - but back then I was too busy fending off attacks from the boys about my big tits to really focus on the math. But now, that I've finally come to terms with my pair of 36DDs, I can focus on math all I want. (How about you boys, what are you focusing on now, hmmm?) This door is just beginning to open. In fact, I may only be peering into the keyhole. But I can tell, this is one love affair that I'm going to have for a long time. And I've got my entire life to master it. I'm not in any hurry.
Congratulations! Good to see you re-discovered math - it'll provide plenty of fun and excitement ;)
I'd recommend "Fermat's Enigma" by Singh if you want to be tantalized and catch a glimpse where the road can lead.
As for what I'm focusing on - can't tell yet ;) Ask again by the end of the year ;)

I (ahem) learned Quantum Physics far too thoroughly at Uppsala University in 1982-84. It was fun to understand the mysteries of creation on that level.
But a mystery on a different level has remained until I read this post: why there were only 3 girls in my class of 120!

Robert - thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out.
Lars - I am not surprised either at your mastery of quantum physics or the lack of girls. I'm glad I was able to help you solve your mystery. ;)
