I work with a guy who just graduated with a masters in electrical
engineering and has a physics undergrad.

Atomic and molecular optics.

Yes, and I even look like a normal person. :-) Ask Kaleb,

I finished an undergrad degree in physics last year, but I can't
really call myself a physicist since I haven't worked professionally
as one (and don't plan to).

That is the theoretical reason it takes so much energy to bring a

Mao,
Here is an interesting article which shows the experimental basis for
special relativity:

In particular, take a look at the section on Tests of the Twin Paradox
which shows experimental verification of

Get over the make a difference real quick - it ain't gonna happen.
Well, in very small ways it happens, I guess - but not to too many

Here's something I wrote a few months ago regarding making a
difference in response to a comment similar to yours:

I knew a fellow who graduated with a BS in physics and enrolled in
grad school majoring in physics. 2nd week of grad school, a mutual
friend told me that he decided he didn't like physics. My first
thought was that he'd just wasted a lot of time and effort. I always
wondered what he ended

I only have 2 questions for you, have you figured out how to build a

can just have myself beamed all over the country instead of driving.

My point about theory addressed the issue that someone made - if a

that quark to that speed is huge. The
