<blockquote>When I dropped out of grad school (MSc Physics) to pursue mathematics, I got the tattoo to remind myself why I wasn't a failure and whY I wanted to study mathematics. What is tattoo'd there is First Canonical Quantization. The first attempt at a "universal" quantum model extrapolated from classical mechanics by the equation on my arm. Mathematically its' not correct (Pauli Dirac wasn't a mathematician) and the theory is no longer really valid, but the process and idea is what intrigues me. Essentially, since every object we touch and hold behaves classically and since all classical objects are made up of particles that behave quantum mechanically, some how by putting together a bunch of quantum objects you are doing the mathematical transformation on my arm. I figured talking about math and physics would distract from the lame gender-based analysis of elise. </blockquote> I like that. How does it go down for you when people ask what it means? Do you get tired of explaining it? I would imagine you have different levels of explanation for different situations or people.
