It's been a while since i've checked the forum and got a kick out of seeing all the responses to my e=mc^2 instructor comment. Especially txmatt pointing out that matter/antimatter annihilations happen all the time.

Anyone that wants to hone up their particle physics should check out "Particle Physics for Non-Physicists" DVD from The Teaching Company

Yeah it's real pricey to order but a lot of libraries carry these.

Talk about a thread going off topic though

That always irks me and i make major efforts not to do that as an instructor. I may share my opinion/perspective but I will always let everyone know what is just my opinion.

My instructor said something incorrect but it didn't really matter so I just didn't want to waste time correcting the instructor. He was saying that E=mc^2 determined the amount of energy a bullet had on impact where c = bullet velocity.

I've had a few academic courses where I corrected the instructor but have learned if you are going to do that it's best to let them know privately instead of undermining their authority in front of the class (and potentially getting on their bad side).

But yeah jedi, in your case people should know the law. After all they have signed a notarized affidavit claiming the read and knew all the laws.

But I'm sure he had a sizeable back library of Soldier of Fortune.

I'm betting he played a lot of Grand Theft Auto on the Playstation or something along those lines.
