E= mc^2 * 100

100 years ago Einstein came up with an equation that millions of people have memorized, but only a few truly understand. For a brief period of time I wanted to be one of those people. Until my junior year in college I was planning on being a Physics major. It took me about that long to realize that I wasn't creative enough to be a physicist. Instead I am a dormant mathematician. I could follow a lot of the concepts I learned in my physics classes, but I often found I couldn't make the leap to real world scenarios. Or even the frictionless, massless scenarios that physicists like to pretend is the real world. I can remember wanting to study things like quarks and photons. In highschool I found out that the Air Force was working on anti-gravity. I remember thinking that this was something I wanted to be a part of. Skip forward to junior year and I spent a month using classical mechanics to explain the descent and shape of a rain drop. It was very shortly afterwards that I changed my major to pure math. I use logic almost every day in my job, but alas I have forgotten most of my mathematics.

It's been 20 years I wonder if they got anywhere with the anti-gravity stuff.
