Physics

Hello everybody!

I wanted to start topic about Physics. Physics is absolutely wonderful, it is only the public education that makes you think otherwise.

Here is a video from "Sixty Symbols" channel. This is one of the best channels that make popular physics vids. Here is a sample:

Quantum Mechanics/Physics was one of the few classes in school I actually enjoyed. It was mind blowing and really made you think outside of the box. It's good stuff.

The point is, you don't have to get into any of the "quantum" stuff, to find real excitement.
As I tried to show by linking this vid, the very seemingly fact of things _touching_ is a mystery, and once you think about it and hear a physicist (Feynman is the best of it), you realize that a mere act of touching is a magic you never really understood.

Sorry for the bad pun but I've touched on that subject before. I didn't watch that particular video (but saved it for later) but I have read discussions about that and it blows your mind. Every aspect of advanced physics is fascinating. They were times I truly enjoyed making my head hurt.

While I didn't watch the video, with me being a physicist, I know there are a lot of interesting phenomena in physics.
Quantum mechanics, with it's uncertainty principle and quantum tunneling is a good example .

These one are obvious candidates. But I was trying to make a different point: that also things considered "normal" are fascinating when you start looking at it in detail, even before getting into quantum level.

All the matter that makes up the human race could fit in a sugar cube  :) now that is cool
