I have absolutely no idea what that means. All I know is that he is scary smart. They offered him something in France with the collider, but their kids are all in school in Chicago. He's married to my husband's sister, and she got her PhD at 19, so she is probably one of the smartest stay at home moms in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Possibly, but probably not. It depends on1) how far along you are and 2) whether I have time (which if you are decently far along you should recognize time as an extremely valuable commodity). I've got my BS so I've covered all the usual things, but the only extra course I took that would be in the direction to help you would be general relativity and I don't even know how much your program would focus on the pure mathematics of theory like my course did.

[/quote] haha, yea that was one of the funniest misconceptions I ever saw, but they probably do have enough energy in there to considerably harm the world if they specifically ran it with bad intent, but they would have to seriously try and it wouldn't even make a black hole lol.
