Quantum Physics is fun.  When you get into the probability of electricity you find out that the neurons in your brain are literally firing randomly half the time, so at any given moment you are literally driven by your impulses.

If I ever decide to write a badass science fiction book it's going to have a character who uses "inquantum" physics to walk through walls but most of the time just falls through the floor.

Haha, nice. Quantum physics kicks ass, but it takes a lot of work to wrap your brain around some of the concepts. It also sucks that there aren't too many places you can actually discuss this stuff and ask other people.
