Haha, that was me. Thanks for all the responses, but when all is done and considered, I still think I would rather go for straight physics (double major math, minor astronomy). :)

You could also use a logarithmic equation as they are basically the same as exponential equations.

Wow, I am slightly astounded that I forgot Wiki. Thanks! :)

I am looking at what I am going to do after high school, so far I am looking at physics, but I am keeping my options open. I have never had a very sturdy definition of engineering so; I am asking: What is engineering?

I did not fully understand what you meant by that, maybe site would help me out. But, I think you may be talking about the observer effect. And yes, electrons always move very fast, but, from what I have read, it is differentiable.

Well, electrons are not in fixed orbits, electrons, rather, appear and disappear in flashes. This 'cloud' is also metaphorical. The electron 'cloud' is an area of space that the electron has the highest probability to appear in. This probability can be tied to the uncertainty principle, which I...

No problem :). But, I guess I should include that there are actual molecules that can act as waves when experimented with, mainly in the double slit experiment. So, I guess what I'm getting at is that stuff doesn't have to be subatomic or atomic (I believe molecules are slightly bigger than the...

It depends which aspect of our universe you think about. If you are thinking subatomic, or atomic it would be waves, but in the larger sense, it would be particles.

Sorry I'm being stupid right now but, what do you mean by that?

Ok I now understand that this the forces aren't perpendicular, but why would this produce heat? Where is the energy being released?

I was just wondering, because on an atomic scale, nothing ever touches due to electron repulsion, why is there friction?

Livin' the dream. :smile: But, seriously, that is true. A lot of beliefs (I can't say mumbo jumbo, I was raised Christian, it just doesn't feel right. :\ ) that infiltrate modern society were made several years (centuries) ago. But I am thinking stuff that has arisen in the last few years...

What, do you think people today are good and humanly? If that is your idea, you seriously need to widen the perspective of information you take in. Basically exactly everything you stated in your post is being done today. I am also part of the 'dumbest' generation. But I, for one, do not think...

^^^^^^^^^^^^ or that haha

'c' is completely arbitrary, probably not having anything to do with 'constant' as there are several constants in the universe. 'c' is just another physical constant, just like a mathematical variable.
