Finally Getting Settled

November 18th, 2009 Bill No comments

I am finally getting situated in the new apartment and finally getting ready to begin my journey. Just to elaborate a little bit more about myself. I have studied physics independently alone in the early years of college. I hated it in high school it seemed more an exercise in boring mathematics (I know I have a masters in math and love mathematics, high school math was boring until calculus for me) The moment I read through the Lorentz Transformation and gained an understanding of special relativity in two dimensional space, I was astonished and wanted to learn the rest of physics. Particularly I tried to rush my way to understanding General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. I rushed through the basics so fast that none of it stuck in my head. I understood it and could of solved problems with reference but did not have it ingrained anywhere. But now I decided to take a step all the way back to the beginning and with patience work my way forward. Of course mathematics wise a lot will seem trivial to me personally but hey it’s what has to be done.

I am not even sure if anybody out there that stumbles across this site will even find my ramblings interesting but hopefully my ramblings can help someone gain a different perspective on the topics of physics I will be covering, hopefully most if not all areas of physics on all levels.

Hello World!!

Hi,  To tell you a little about myself, I am a software engineer by day, scientist by night.  I have a masters in mathematics but that hasn’t been enough to fulfill my curiosities.  I came up with this site as part of a project.  My goal is to learn the universe.  In the words of Einstein, “I want to know God’s thoughts, the rest are just details.” I will be taking the long journey down the road to learning and comprehending our universe through the language of mathematics and observation.  And by that I mean Physics!!

I will be tackling book after book, experiment by experiment, reading, learning and blogging about it.  My hope is that perhaps my posts will benefit someone out there as nerdy as I am and together we can journey down the road of knowledge to comprehending the universe and perhaps having a few good discussions along the way.

So please, read and enjoy my posts and comment if you like what you read.  I am open to suggestions and new ideas just reach out to me.
