Sub - Man (from the perspective of a xerox machine)

Being a student of limited capacities of classroom comprehension (limited is only a nice way to put it), I have , over the years, in a peculiar instance of personal adaptation, mastered the art of making scaled down drawings of what I see, on say a blackboard. In fact, I am an unquestioned expert in the art of maintaining proportions when I conscientiously indulge myself sombrely in the art of facsimiling everything in my field of vision onto my notebook.


Of course, it can be a tough ordeal even for a master like me when you are trying to draw all the the contents of the board when you are bein taught by Sub-man. I have, over the years, observed that no matter who is teaching, certain sets of drawings seem to look alike, with minimal deviation. I asked my dad long ago what this implied, and he replied with a somewhat quizzical and incongruous look on his face that "Letters of the alphabet " are bound to look alike, specially when one guy writes them. I wonder what he meant. I mean, English is pictographic isnt it?


But the trouble with Sub-Man is that nothing looks like anything else, and whats more, most drawings he makes look like gooey pieces of refuse. And if that weren't enough, when you are concentrating extremely hard on copying, He'll quack. yes. sure he does. My friends say that he actually means to say "Okay", but I'll bet any day that he is actually a Quack ..oops.. He quacks.
Why, that makes him a big ol' Quack doesnt it?I'll bet he actually doesnt want toteach us a thing,
rather, he is an agent from saturn trying to subliminally force us into slavery and damnation through his quacks, which convey some covert message to our subconcious self.


By the way, speculations apart, did I tell you that he teaches us something caled Quantum Mechanics? Has something to do with Bells and Cats it seems. Queer world. Sure is

People.. this account is so very true, echoes the feelings of the entire phy dept that is attending this course. The prof is brilliant, alright,.. but none of us comprehends wht's written..so yea, the whole thing reduces to something pictographic. I've stopped going to that lecture as well.. Counting on the late Mr Sakurai to help me through the exam..

Hmm, from my experience, he is often fast - and I can imagine how mysterious perturbation/scatttering can appear if you're hearing it for the first time from him.

I guess it might help a bit if you people browsed through the pages of some book before he talks on them....

heehee
yeah...he does have a knack of complicating even simple things [:p]
i guess its too late into the sem to start reading before going into the class :D
so...well..
i will gently slip into a state of oblivion, and try to approximate some semblance of knowledge in the exam

40 saal pehle:
amma: ayyo beta ! kya kar rahe ho ?
beta: amma mai quantum system perturb kar raha hoon.
20 saal pehle:
beti: appa ! kya kar rahe ho ?
appa: ayyo beti ! mai quantum scattering kar raha hoon.

sub-man : this example prooves that in time reversal you have to take complex conjugate too. alright !
