Schrödinger Equation

Clerk Maxwell discovered that electric and magnetic effects travelled at the velocity of light c – The most important event of the 19 th Century - impacting on all of us

My tattoo is of DNA. I was attracted to the attention to detail while also drawing in a representational spiral that doesn’t ignore the basic beauty of the double helix. -Matthew Mac. Dougall, medical student

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

LSD - what a strange, wonderous, and downright amazing molecule (Anonymous)

Nicole, a physics graduate student. My tattoo is the Taylor expansion of sine. I consider it the most beautiful thing I have ever learned. It is one of the most useful things in physics.

Nicole, a physics graduate student. My tattoo is the Taylor expansion of sine. I consider it the most beautiful thing I have ever learned. It has additional meaning to me since sin(x)~x is one of the most useful things in physics.

Maxwell’s Equations - it’s hard to get a shot of all four at once - it’s hard to get my arm in the right position for any camera to get Ampere’s circuital law. ” Weldon Harry Kroto 2004

An anonymous reader writes, "D-lysergic acid diethlyamide…what a strange, wonderous, and downright amazing molecule. Having a background in biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology, I have long been fascinated by this enigmatic chemical. I initially planned on getting the regular simple stick molecular structure, and sat on that idea for close to 7 years. . . Click here to read the rest of the description. Harry Kroto 2004

Weldon writes, “I doubt I’m the only one with this, but Maxwell’s Equations in differential form on my arm. Unfortunately it’s hard to get any shot of all four at once (given the curvature) and it’s hard to get my arm in the right position for any camera to get Ampere’s circuital law. ” Weldon Harry Kroto 2004
