Quantum Physics...

And you thought this thread was going to be serious.[/size]

Anyway ... finally, today quantum physics was started in my college lectures. Most people in the room hated the sound of it but I was ready to go.

After the lesson my friend said 'I didn't realize quantum physics would be...' and then he stopped. So here is what the thread is about.

Finish the sentence above.

I don't know how long this thread will last but knowing my luck it will not be very long at all. Oh well. :biggrin:

Here is the start then:

I didn't realize quantum physics would be as fun as ripping my trousers off and dancing in the street.

I didn't realize quantum physics would be as fun as watching The Bob rip his trousers off and dance in the street. :smile:
 
I didn't realize quantum physics would be this easy to understand.
 
So whatwas the first course about?Wanna compare with mine.

'I didn't realize quantum physics would be... sooo easy like your girlfriend.

Well we have been doing Youngs Modulus and a basic level and Communications on a basic level also. Waves has been taught but nothing on quantum physics (or as they have written it, 'Quantum Behaviour'). Just been waiting to get down to the smaller things in life for a while. :biggrin:

My first course on QM dealt with preHilbert spaces,metric,normed and complete spaces,all these only to introduce the concept of Hilbert space...

I didn't realize quantum physics would be-come such a well respected field that people would actually make threads about what they didn't realize it would be.

I didn't realize quantum physics would be so much... minutiae.

I didn't realize quantum physics would be so much...wait...if I have not yet realized, then my thought exists in a superposition of eigenthoughts...and by realizing, I have collapsed it into a definite thought...hence the act of realizing has actually affected the outcome of my thinking...darn, that's nothing new. <yawn>

I didn't realize quantum physics would be as fun as listing to the song She Blinded Me with Science by Thomas Dolby. (That means i thought it was crazy)

Fibonacci

Actually, I'm uncertain about what I didn't realize quantum physics would be.

I didn't realize Quantum Physics is spelled Quantum [itex]P\hbar ysics[/itex]

Strange twist on the idea, a funny variation on a theme.
