nothing to it!

For those who checked out this link and read a little here is one line that I am quoting that had me LMAO:

"Though it may sound simple it is not really." WTF :scratchhead: I would like to meet the people to whom this stuff , "Sounds simple."
 
I think you need to be a bit more than "math inclined" before you are even allowed to look at that.
 
Obvious proof that hanging out a pool hall is no good for our youth.

This is undoubtedly what they were talking about when they coined the phrase "evidence of a misspent youth".

Maybe Dr. Dave can take a stab at putting this in layman's language?
 
I do faintly recall the Schrodinger wave equation from my Physics 101 back in my college freshman year. Funny how some of that stuff sticks with you after 50 years.
 
If you were doing the Schrodinger equation in 101 that is pretty intense... interesting read though.
 
that game is best played with a laser and some mirrors and don't blink,
you might not see the shot.chalk and english not required.

Bravo Demonrho! You called billiards a game and not a sport. It's incredible how many people here think it's the other way around.
As to that other stuff, I haven't got a clue as to what the hell you're talking about.

Billiards has a game/sport duality sort of like the wave/particle duality in quantum mechanics;) I think the Hamilitonians might break down if billiards were analyzed as to its "sport" nature here. :eek:
 
I enjoyed the article, until I got to this:

"In the paraxial approximation, the complex field of pump in the cladding behaves like a wave function in the quantum billiard."​

ROTFLMAO, wtf were they thinking?
Everyone knows that's horsesh!t.

Yeah, I had an uncle with one of those 'dualities'. He usually sat by hiself at the family reunions.
