Old physicists never die. They just become Cosmic Stans.

I am a bit concerned that a large portion of our members may be headed in this very direction. I rather enjoy speculating upon who will get there first... :wink:

Maybe we can introduce him to Galactic Bob, the schizophrenic lawyer in L.A. He likes to hang out at Law Dogs on Wednesday nites.

Boy, he'd be the shining star of the "Ask A Stupid Quetion..." thread. Can we get him online?

Njorl seems to think that he IS online - and he's here at PF. I wonder why he thinks that.

I only have one thing to say on the subject: "Fock space! Spin polarization! The Clausius-Clapeyron equation obtains! The incident field is representable by a plane wave vector potential! You got to believe me!"
