Day fifty-two of 365
Having been at work in a university city for a few days, I left the office and dropped into a local bar / pizza place for a bite to eat. On the table next to me were a group of guys enjoying a beer - and an enthusiastic and animated conversation. In such a situation you might expect the topic to be cars or sport or or the like. Not here. The topic was Quantum Mechanics. Due to my proximity it was hard not to eavesdrop - but they needn't have worried, I didn't understand an equation they said. Nevertheless I'm sure I felt a vicarious increase in brain power as the conversation of the intelligentsia drifted across the room. A world so close, yet so far.
