Well, I'm a science guy, so pretty much all of it. Always been quite fond of sushi as well. And amalgamation's a pretty sexy word. That's about it.

Ahh! Another geek! :) We're slim pickins these days. Areas of interest? (Off topic, oh well, heh)

Heh, indeed! Umm, let's see, well Math is my forte, and I actually am very intrigued by that book you just read. Because I love the mysteries of the universe type stuff. Biblical, and greek mythology's sparks my interest as well :)

This is just me endorsing my nerd rage btw! lol

It would seem that we share several interests :) Equations in relation to the nature of reality fascinate me. Brian Greene has done an excellent job bringing the two together (so far). I went through a mythology phase a few years back and my parents were bible thumpers, so I received a thorough biblical education :P Have you read Dante's Inferno? It's not mythological or entirely biblical, strickly speaking, but in my mind he sort of melded the two together.

Harmonic motion and such has always been one of my favourite aspects of physics as well, it's just the maths is everywhere. We just need to look. I haven't read the book per se, but I've read up a lot about it, because I always found the nine circles of hell to be a very fascinating topic. And I wouldn't say I'm so much into how right the bible is... but rather how wrong it is :P lol

:) glad to hear we're on same wavelength. Have you read much into superstring or M theory?

I lol'd.

Well, sadly I haven't been able to delve that much into Physics as I would have liked seeing as I'm a Chemical Engineering major, but I'm actually thinking about pursuing it as my second degree.

Excellent choice :) I'm really just reading up on it now to prepare myself for next year's classes as I am a physics major. Gold star for you :P really though, I have an immense amount of respect for those who pursue higher levels of education, as it seems most of those in my generation are too preoccupied with getting wasted, having kids and living off the government.. I digress, ha ha

Just based on your engaging conversation, I think you should both read this:

Amazing stuff

I share the exact sentiments for you as well! :) And well, the digression was necessary if only to preserve the sanctity of your keyboard :P I actually have to start back doing some work as well, uni's re-opening in three weeks, so I think I might just review some operators and vector calculus before it starts back. Good luck btw :)
