The laws of nature are beautiful and I think life is more than we will could ever understand. Nice post. :) This is precisely why I’m a scientist.

Looking back over past years' papers, they've taken more and more context out of the module each time it's been taught. This doesn't bother me enough to want to take Physics, but I can understand the satisfaction of seeing some seemingly complex theoretical mathematical relation in 'the real world' fall out so perfectly - Fourier series took on a new light when I looked up about how they relate to different sound tones in Music!On a not unrelated note, Green's functions. Urgh...
