quantum mechanics

A theory that developed from Max Planck's quantum principle and Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

The quantum principle states that waves (light, infrared, X rays, etc.) are emitted from any body in "packets" known as quanta, rather than arbitrarily. Each quantum would have more energy depending on the frequency of the waves.

The uncertainty principle states that the more accurately you know the position of a particle, the less accurately you can know its velocity, and vice versa.

Heisenberg, Erwin Schrodinger, and Paul Dirac created a theory called quantum mechanics, which was based on the uncertainty principle. Particles were now thought to have a quantum state, a combination of position and velocity.

In a nutshell, it brought randomness into physics, which many physicists (Einstein, for example) objected. Still, many others accepted it.
Even after reading all that, does anyone actually understand what quantum mechanics is?

Quantum mechanics is complicated.

Mechanical Engineer

Badass Mother Fuckers that are way under paid unless they move to a big city.
Scott (new hire): Is that a bum over there?
Andy (plant manager): No!, lol, That is our Mechanical Engineer, I barely pay him to design all of our badass equipment. He looks like a bum because he is still paying for his $50K education and can barely afford to make his house payment. Not to mention that President NoBama has his head shoved up his own ass!

Mecca Blowjob

When you lay down on someone's prayer mat right before they pray to Mecca so they are forced to give you a blowjob.

mechanabalism

The act of using parts from several different machines to repair or build other machines.
One must depend on machanabalism to survive, when you only have donated computers with which to work.
