Description
I gift to my Brother. He told me everything to draw for him(Though I had to cut the sunglasses). I hope it's up to his standards. This is also my first attempt at totodile. I think it turned out okay.I didn't really ask why a Totodile would be reading about quantum physics (or what a textbook about it would look like) But who am I to question Randomosity
Just realized the book is backwards -_- Oh well...
Totodile belongs to Pokemon .

Very smart indeed (if you want to get bored read this *quantum talk XD*
Just as light is thought to have a dual nature, sometimes showing the characteristic of a wave, and sometimes that of a particle (photon), quantum theory attributes a similar dual wave-particle nature to subatomic particles. Electrons that orbit around the nucleus interact with each other by showing interference patterns, not unlike those of wave interference. If the velocity of the electron is thought of as its wavelength, the crests of neighboring electron waves amplify or cancel each other, thereby creating a pattern that corresponds to Bohr's allowed orbits.
If cosmological conclusions seem laboured, we might be able to derive philosophical insights from quantum physics. At least Fritjof Capra thinks this is possible when he describes the parallels between modern physics and ancient Eastern philosophy in his book The Tao of Physics. He holds that in a way, the essence of modern physics is comparable to the teachings of the ancient Eastern philosophies, such as the Chinese Tao Te Ching, the Indian Upanishads, or the Buddhist Sutras. Eastern philosophies agree in the point that ultimate reality is indescribable and unapproachable, not only in terms of common language, but also in the language of mathematics. That is, science and mathematics must fail at some stage in describing ultimate reality. We see this exemplified in the Uncertainty Principle, which is elucidated in the following section.
A question
If matter is not infinitely divisible, why should energy be?
The idea that energy could be emitted or absorbed only in discrete energy quanta seemed odd, since it could not be fitted into the traditional framework of physics. The quantum behaviour of electrons in atoms contradicted not only classical mechanics, but also Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, which required it to radiate away energy while orbiting in a quantum energy state. Even Max Planck, who was a conservative man, initially doubted his own discovery. The traditional view was that energy flows in a continuum like a smooth, unbroken stream of water. That there should be gaps between the discrete entities of energy seemed wholly unreasonable. In fact, Planck's idea only gained credence when Einstein used it in 1905 to explain the photoelectric effect. - After all, if matter is not infinitely divisible, why should energy be?
In the course of time, physicists descended deeper into the realm of the atom. Bohr's atom model was remarkably successful in describing the spectrum of the hydrogen atom by using Planck's formula to relate different energy levels of electrons to different frequencies of light radiation. Unfortunately, it did not work well for more complex atoms, and so a more sophisticated theory had to be developed. The problem seemed to be rooted in the assumption that an electron rotates around the nucleus like a massive object revolves around a centre of gravity. De Broglie, SchrΓΆdinger, and Heisenberg showed that classical mechanics had to be abandoned in order to describe the subatomic world adequately. In an inference not less dramatic than Planck's discovery of quanta, they stated that particles don't really have a trajectory or an orbit, much less do they behave like a ball that is shot through a corridor or is whirled around on the end of a cord.

Maybe it could be like uhh, one of those books written like how the Jewish read! Y'know.. They read from back to front? You get me? anyways. Excellent work! XD

Well first I made a brownish Blob and use the twirl too on it. then a dupilicated the layers a few times and changed the colors. Then I merged the 3 layers and twirled them back the other way.

Yeah I'm a big fan of pokemon too.

Dear Totodile.
I don't think there is a topic called 'How to Dragon Dance?' in that book.
Btw,this is funny

Glad you enjoyed it

no prob ^^ btw, i have a question

oh? what is it?

think maybe you could draw a larvetar with a monocle? XD if it's not to much trouble that is
