#TBRtemptation post 7! When Mark was a kid, he learned that splitting an atom leads to a big explosion, which made him worry that if he cut a stick of butter he'd nuke the house, lol. Later on, he realized we know more about when an atom breaks than when glass breaks. When, why, & how things break is cutting-edge science. What are the "ghostly" sounds in houses? What's armor's evolution? What else sunk the Titanic? Etc. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

Laalaleighh Taking a moment to brag on the fact that exactly this sort of thing is what my boyfriend is doing his masters thesis in aerospace engineering on. #cuttingedgescience #IStillThinkItsBoring 8y
MrBook @Laalaleighh Oh, the books he must read. I worked at Penn State's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Library for several years and its material made my head spin. Kudos to him 👍🏻👍🏻. 8y
