Default Quantum mechanics

Well, having my final term exam on quantum mechanics tomorrow and
enjoying a well deserved break, I have taken this occasion to express my thinkings about the subject:

Schroedinger, I wish I had an infinite potential well à lá 300 so I could throw you inside it!

Thank you for your time and feel free to debate how quantum mechanics changed the tide of the war and ended up defeating Hitler and the Nazis.




Cheers...

So, riddle me this: If strings exist and resonate at some frequency and also interact with other strings, then could they have a calculable impedance giving them a characteristic impedance as a result and, could there be enmass, a fundimental resonant frequency for the universe that results from this?

String theory isn't quantum physics. It's just dumb

What about shoestring theory? If my shoestrings are loose I can't run shit, but if they're properly tightened my running speed goes up by a quantum leap. Therefore...

Don't mention Portugees in this forum, as bad as Oirish if not worse! I could tell you a tale or two. Do you know any specimen, by the way?

Just wait till we gather around for a "sardinhada" (in our popular saints parties) and wine starts pouring...

There's a great idea, we'll have to think of a WW2F Portagee Chapter convention! If we both show up it will be a full house

What the heck is this quantum mechanics thing, are you a car mechanic specializing in Ford Quantums (Quanta?)

Dont worry about the test you will do fine (or fail) and then you will graduate and get a job at an observatory watching little blips on a screen and wonder why they taught you multi variable calculus, I mean why do telescope operators need to do La Place transforms?

Now if you are going on to be a professor then you might need to know them, but then again the second time through is so much easier.

If you all are getting together just invite the rest of us so we don't get offended and start calling you nationalistic self-centered Americans... oh wait this is us. Nevermind.

Portagee urinals are fixed to the wall at a lower height not because our legs are shorter but because our ****s are longer.

Sure everyone is invited to a long night of drinking, eating at a real bbq (not like those american copies it's not a bbq if you don't have a 200pd guy with a mustache drinking beer from a bottle cooking!) and listning to our popular music (aka "Pimba" here's an example YouTube - Marante & Diapasão - A Bela Portuguesa ).
Now that's a party



Cheers...

Everyone should know Portuguese pop songs. I mean if the Americans can send Hip hop and Regaton, we should be able to spread our disease as well
