One of the cool things you learn in theoretical physics is that there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum.

What about odd names for things?

Like how we park in a driveway, and drive on a parkway.

if i can think up any others, ill edit this post.

Was the 3 Button Mouse too Advanced for its time?

Why aren't the cool cell phones available in the US?

One of life's greatest mysteries - Where is the right click button on an Apple mouse?

Also, why will people spend 30 minutes trying to use the wrong tool for the job because they don't want to spend 10 minutes looking for the right tool which will do the job instantly?

huh?!
can you not create a perfect vacuum, or does stuff get created out of one?
(i know, the second one didn't make -any- sense)

Yep, stuff (matter/energy) is literally created, briefly, out of nothing. In physics, this is called a quantum vacuum fluctuation. Some of these particles (e.g., positrons) even behave as though they were traveling backwards in time. Physics can be fun <grin>.

thats awesome!!!
i cant wait to take physics... why o why do i have to wait til my senior year!?

I love physics. The Big Bang theory and black holes fascinate me.

i find it interesting that measurements, time, mass, distance, and weight don't actually exist they are all misconceptions of the human mind (as i understand it this is a fact of quantum physics that allows crazy things like a particle to exist in two places at the same time)
