i made a wonderful decision and dropped my class on religion and magic to instead take an astronomy class on black holes. my mind is blown every couple seconds. dr. weinberg throws books as us to demonstrate acceleration, is fucking hilarious, and if someone asks a question he doesn't know the answer to, he'll say "i'll figure it out" and at the ( Read more... )

AH I WISH I WAS IN THAT CLASS! I was debating whether to take Astronomy someday or not. I guess I'll look this prof up if I register for it!

Do you have The Science Channel, History Channel, History Channel International, National Geographic Channel? I love them all to bits. The Science channel had a Stephen Hawking marathon (no pun intended) the other day.

*is loony* Have you ever gazed up in the sky and actually felt one with the Universe? Like you know that at this moment, in that vast area of space, there's that 'rock' up there as our satellite, etc.

I have credits up to Math 131 (Calculus), but that's from college of more than 6 years ago. I'm surprised it transferred to OSU, but I'm just glad I won't have to take any more Maths or I'll probs decrease my chances of getting into Nursing school..

Have you seen the planet/sun scale video on YouTube? It's surreal.

I'm actually just waiting for the Jens show, so I'm bored. =P

yes i know exactly the feeling you're talking about. and i highly recommend this class/dr. weinberg. he's one of the best astronomers in the world today but has no problem communicating his ideas.

i hope jens was amazing! and i'm sad i couldn't go :(
