FUCK YEAH MATH: My Answer →
So I was thinking yesterday about how I’ve never even come close to having a girlfriend, and was beginning to approach the conclusion that the problem must reside in mine own self. I was on the verge of accepting this pessimistic conclusion, when I decided that rather than attempting to come to…

FUCK YEAH MATH: not so fast, e^x →
The cocky exponential function ex is strolling along the road insulting the functions he sees walking by. He scoffs at a wandering polynomial for the shortness of its Taylor series. He snickers at a passing smooth function of compact support and its glaring lack of a convergent power series about…

Im into audio engineering and would love something like that.

Today (23 June) is Alan Turing's birthday.
You have this man to thank; he was pretty much the father of computer science.
You can read Stephen Wolfram’s (of Wolfram Alpha) tribute to him here.

Dear followers, what is a good chemistry related...
Because one of you asked.
What's worse than a dead baby in a bin?

A Joke for All You Fellow Chem Nerds
Two bears go for a winter walk in different geographical locations—one in Wisconsin the other in the North Pole. Both of the bears are clumsy and not paying attention, or just too damn heavy and they wind up falling through ice.
Which one dissolves faster?
Answer: THE POLAR BEAR
duh.
****EXTRA NERD POINTS*****
If you considered (even for just one second) the fact that the bear in the...

Metric System
It can be hard for any chemist, or regular ol’ randy to remember the metric system, but this is something they make basically “required” for you to know.
So, here is a little easy way to remember it:
Good………….giga-109
Men…………..mega-106

I'm a chemistry teacher just finishing up my first year, after weeks of assessments (of me and the kids), reports and stress I was feeling pretty drained and thoroughly unenthusiastic. This collection has renewed my joy - come Monday my lab is getting an entirely new look and my 6th form are getting the best damned benzene...

A fundamental question that boggles me.
What keeps the electrons in the 1s orbital from simply collapsing into the nucleus?

It has to do with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. See here and here.

arrrghzi asked: 1) Is it messed up that, for a time, I used to view relationships in terms of half-life?
2) Is it messed up that I still kind of view girls' moods in terms of Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
3) Is it messed up that my college chemistry teacher told us that glass is not solid but a very very viscous liquid?

Question
Is there a FUCK YEAH PHYSICS?
Why yes, there is.
