I've never actually understood what quantum mechanics was. I've thrown the term out a few times in a conversation to sound smarter though haha

Quantum Mechanics?:confused: Sounds way too scientific for me. I struggled too much in that subject throughout school

It is basically about the periodic table. physics and the atoms behaviors at a really small scale....

See I don't have problem with math you can actually work out an answer. My issue is the periodic table where Au means gold even though theirs neither an A or U in the spelling of G-o-l-d

That's because Au comes from the Latin "Aurum." Strangely enough, the English language is rarely used in science. You are much more likely to find Latin, and Greek. But never English! Too new a language I guess!

Let's see.... You don't want to be in the desert, but you love dessert, hence, the extra "S" for the one you like more.

Yeah, I have a friend who studied latin and Greek in highschool she said it made science classes like chemistry so easy. Especially when trying to figure out word meanings
