Quintessential Quantum Quips

Posted by: chericem | November 3, 2007 | No Comment |



As some of you may know, I have developed an interest in the principles of quantum physics over the last few years, so it will come as no surprise to you that I was completely delighted by the latest series of panels from PhDComics this week:

Slave Part-Equal Duality (An Introduction to Quantum Gradnamics) (On Comps)

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (An Introduction to Quantum Gradnamics) (On the Prospect of Graduation)

Schroedinger’s Cat (An Introduction to Quantum Gradnamics) (On Productivity)

The comics perfectly capture my present “location” in the developmental trajectory of tasks and experiences that comprise doctoral work. They also encapsulate my current thoughts, feelings, and frustrations beautifully, but in a much more witty and sophisticated way than I am capable of at the moment.

I hope you enjoy the truth, the substantive parallels, and the layered meanings as much as I did!
