Re: The Candidate .... (political)

I'm sorry, I do not see how this relates to the study of physics, the teaching of physics, or the
promotion of physics. What is does serve is to falsely assert that Mr. Kerry is brilliant (which
he is not) and that Mr. Bush is ignorant (which he is not). Physicists are truth seekers....and
politics seldom lead to truth. Let's stay out of politics on this list and stick to physics.

Many physicists also have a sense of humor. I find the cartoon funny. Also, as pointed out by others, it does have a connection to physics.

Tim: Senator Kerry, is light a WAVE or a PARTICLE?

Well Tim, Quantum Mechanics teaches us that light exhibits the
characteristics of BOTH a wave AND a particle -- so EITHER theory can be
considered valid under specific definable circumstances!

The commentary ...

That's John Kerry for you -- ALWAYS trying to straddle both sides of the
issue!

Can't he take a firm stand on ANYTHING?

Which IS it, Senator Kerry -- WAVE or PARTICLE?



The (other) candidate:

Mr. President -- Can you spell the word "cat"?
