That was a close call! Of course I’d rather hurt myself than my laptop! Health insurance is free.. I’d have to pay to get my laptop fixed!

I am here because when my dad was young he had a meditation that started in the middle and extended within and without to the reaches of our universe and came around again in a size-less loop where the entirety of infinity was contained in a single atom, and ever since I have been caught in the complexion and perplexity of all that there is and isn’t, is known and unknown, and will be.

I love white boards!

So it has been brought to my attention this summer that physics AND chemistry both claim quantum mechanics originates from within their subject. My favourite crazy physicist from UNB, Ben Newling, first came across quantum in chemistry, and that’s why he started out in that field. I always saw it from the physics side. Anyways, when I looked at my classes for Nanotech Engineering I was a little disappointed about the amount of physics, especially quantum mechanics, that is taught throughout my five years. Therefor, I was presently surprised that my third chemistry lecture was full of quantum mechanics, and even talks about the double slit experiment. I didn’t realize to the extent this is true until today. I pretty much spent all day deciphering the chemistry notes and examples my bogged down brain had been incapable of grasping on Friday. Gah, this is fantastic.

YAY SCIENCE!

So if I was to pick you up and throw you at a wall you would have a wavelength, but we’re not going to do this experiment in class

You just learned to solve a problem you’ll never encounter with a useless equation! yay!

I will give you lots of homework so you won’t miss home as much.

The great thing about being a chemical engineer is that whenever anyone asks me questions about chemistry I can say “I don’t know, I’m an engineer” and if anyone asks me about engineering I can say “I don’t know, I do chemistry.
