Hi all!

Thanks!
WBR, Svetlana Shmidt
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Madonna, the singer?
 
About here life? I think there's already a biography out there...
 
In my country, madonna is super-mega-star. High five!
 
With the scope of the internet, you decided to come to a Physics website for information on Madonna? :confused:

Please don't tell me she wants to be a Physicists now! :rolleyes:
 
Please man, Britney Spears is the only physicists pop star.
 
That's true. "Oops!... I Did It Again" was her essay on stimulated and spontaneous photon emission.
 
Britney was a trendsetter. Everyone cool has dumped Kaballah and gone into quantum physics now. It's tres chic.
 
Okay, to answer Uksvets' question, without knowing which Madonna you mean, please refer to or pick from the following at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna

You'll be able to start your work there. Hope that helps.

By day Lynda Williams is a physics instructor at San Francisco State University. But after dark she becomes a science entertainer who has been dubbed "the Madonna of Science" or "Physics Spice" as she belts out her own lyrics to the tunes of show hits and popular songs.

...

Her version of Madonna's Material Girl goes: Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me / I think they're passé / if they can't talk about quantum theory / I just walk away...

:smile:
