There was a snowstorm one windy night - with the wind going smoothly in one direction. The pattern that the snow left made the aerodynamics of the various cars clear.
Now, at this point, many texts define, with no motivation other than future ``convenience'', two operatorsSee you all there!
(5a)(5b)and proceed to show how these can be used to simplify the Hamiltonian and easily solve the problem. While it is an elegant and quick solution, this presentation is completely useless. I find it highly unlikely that Dirac sat down to solve this problem and tried a whole series of random operators
and so on, along with their complex conjugates, until he lucked out with the solution in (5)...from Behind the Guesses
Hello: This is yet another bogus email making the rounds at YU.This seems pretty straightforward. And yet, a few minutes later, someone responded, to the entire YU-Infosecurity mailing list, with their email user name, password, etc. Sometimes it is important to read instructions, you know.

What are you doing for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week?A few comments. Firstly, who plans something special for National Eating Disorder Awareness Week? Like, "I would go, but I have an all night all-you-can-eat buffet planned..." or "I would go, but I've been planning to eat only this one piece of celery this week for months already." In any case, in light of the subject matter of the event, perhaps refreshments aren't totally appropriate.
Nothing planned yet??

I did not know any of the people mentioned, but it was addressed to me, and I didn't want to call Bruce, so I thought it would be appropriate to respond:Jonathan,I just got this message from Bob Builder:Hi Bonnie,I've heard back from Bruce Wayne a couple of time today. Bruce has his talking points ready for discussion with Jonathan Smith. Bruce says that he is now just waiting for a call back from Jonathan. Hopefully that will be sooner than later.If you happen to talk to Jonathan, please let him know that Bruce Wayne is ready with his comments.Have a nice weekend!-BobYou work so hard that I hate to urge you to call him this late on a Friday afternoon, but it would be wonderful to be able to go the board informed about thier basic position rather than uninformed.See what you can do, please.Thanks,Bonnie
Bonnie,And upon scrolling down - she may have noticed:I can't take this level of stress anymore! Just because of your email I'm not going to call Bruce for another WEEK!You should be GLAD that I'm not QUITTING because of this!One last thing - %$#& the $%#@-ing board! They know nothing about science!-JonathanPS: plz scroll all the way down before replying
To end the story - everyone lived. The response I got was:Just kidding!You probably wanted to contact Jonathan Smith instead of me, I am an old KGI REU student.Good luck!-JonathanPS: hope you didn't get a heart attack.
I may have errant fingers, but nerves of steel. Thanks for letting me know (rather creatively) that my message was sent to the wrong person. Hope all is well in your life.Bonnie
