I can completely attest to that. I've got a degree in theoretical
astrophysics and did graduate work in Quantum Physics. If you ever try
to apply more than a small amount of thinking to Quantum Mechanics,
you'll explode faster than an electron and a positron having sex!
Now, you may be asking - "How does this relate to NANOG" or "How does Eric's
understanding of how Quantum Mechanics impacted the early Universe relate
to his ability to run or design a network"? It doesn't, but neither does
this thread....
Just my $0.02. Flame on.
Eric :)
