MIT Quote of the Day...

(Captain's blog, stardate 5028.8)
"We are not mathematicians, we're physicists. We want to actually solve something in a finite amount of time." --My physics professor

In physics today we learned Gauss's Law, the first one of Maxwell's equations! Since my physics professor is so good, I actually understood it this time around. Physics is so awesome, you should all take it when you go to college. It's way better than high-school physics classes.

Anyway, enough gushing over how ~*AMAZING*~ college is; it makes me sound stupid. Also, it's very rude since no one reading this is in college, and I'll end up making people feel left out. My sincere apologies.

And another quote of the day, from a question the 18.03 class got asked today:
Alice jumps out of a plane with a parachute [we had just learned an equation for this] and 20 seconds later Bob jumps out with an identical parachute. Will they have the same speed at any time before they reach the ground?
1) Yes.
2) No.
3) Not enough information.
4) I don't know.
5) 42.
(I chose "42", by the way. The real answer is "No".)
