I very much appreciate you breaking it down into more simplistic terms for me! I can't say I understand it completely, but I at least have a beginning to understanding it. Plus you made me feel better by saying that the boundaries between fields can blur, because I thought it seemed that way, but didn't know if it was because it was just beyond my understanding or what.
I have a lot of respect for people like you and Deneb (i.e. physicists, chemists, scientists, super smart people?). I would love to hang out with people like you and have you 'attempt' to explain things like quantum foam, the string theory, buckyballs, and all that stuff to me. Of course, that might not be as fun for you as for me! You'd probably be like, okay, its been 3 hours, go watch Star Trek or something! ;-)
