Hello!

I've been really busy, but I'm enjoying how this series has been going. We're going to mix it up a little bit, but that's because I've been super busy.

Try for two paragraphs, but it's okay if you can't.

Tell me something I don't know about the tanks used in the African campaign. I don't care if it's about Allied or Axis tanks. Tell me something obscure and interesting.

Ha ha! Made you research something. ;-)

I love researching! I read almost all the time about something or another. Mostly IT related stuff due to my job and I like the work but history is fun too as they say those who do not study their history are doomed to repeat it. Honestly if I had my way I would probably just listen to music and read about physics all day. Once upon a time I came up with a theory to explain gravity but it was utter nonsense.

Strangely enough, gravitation is less well understood than most laypeople think. We're reasonably confident that it exists - and have calculations that let us accurately predict the effects, but we aren't actually sure what causes it. It appears to be a function of mass.

It gets even worse at the quantum level, and we're well and truly baffled by it. The disconnect between classical and quantum physics is partially due to gravity behaving poorly at sub-atomic levels. Particles just don't behave very well.

Oh this is a subject I have researched extensively. My theory was gravity is a consequence of matter's movement through time, I had a whole thing explaining it and even some math(rudimentary math at best) to explain it. It was just a theory and an amateur one at that. When I was young I fancied myself a amateur scientist and even though I didn't have a degree I would make some big break through and get an honorary doctorate. Big dreams ones that I have learned are just not reasonable. I had all kinds of big ideas when I was young many of which I almost blew my self up trying to realize. Some of the experiments I did with plasma probably should have killed me and possible half the neighbor hood. One thing I never did that I always wanted to do was build a particle accelerator. It would be fun! Think about it you could test creating entangled particles and see if you could charge a battery wirelessly with entangled electrons. You could mess around with spooky action at a distance as Einstein called it. I've always been a big dreamer, I try to keep myself a little closer to earth these days.
