I'm obsessed with learning about particle physics and quantum mechanics. And of course slowly learning all the math that underpins it.
I just find myself to be very curious about how the world works, in many different ways.
It's exhausting having to go into the defensive posture simply for saying I'm interested in a subject that is way over most people's heads. Instantly arouses feelings of inadequacy in people. It never fails to sully the enjoyment of my passion, and create tension between friends.
That and pro wrestling.
Oh neat. What parts are you studying? I was always told that you never really get quantum mechanics the first time and that you need to see it 3 times. But I wouldnt know bc the second course I took was already too much.
But bra-ket notation was super cool.
