Sub-atomic particles
0
So recently I have a conversation with a friend of mine and was trying to explain to him the string theory and the subatomic particles. In the end he didn't really understood and ask me, but why should i care?
Needless to say my friend is studying medicine so he fells that is irrelevant to him how our world is composed so I ask you fellow fakku-men do you give a f@ck about gravitons, quarks, and else or not?

Cannot chat right now. I am currently under attack by millions of nano-bots.
Send help and special lenses so I can see them.

Go join the LHC group in Europe if you want to know more. Or just go read their articles. That stuff is way beyond my head. Not that it even matters, if atoms spin one way or the other, as long as they keep doing what they are supposed to.

Kind of Important
A ray of Tsunlight.
Truthfully, I try not to read too far into that kind of stuff. I love reading about it. But if I just dive into it, I get confused with all the cross-referencing. It's hard to keep up unless you actually study that shit on a regular basis.
Now, the shit going down over at the LHC is pretty cool, and as I understand they just fired it at a pretty high setting (If it has a low, medium, high like a washing machine, who knows)
Now, for those who don't know, one of the purposes of the LHC is to attempt to get some proof of the Higgs-Boson particle. Basically the particle that gives all other atoms mass. They wanna find antimatter and that kind of stuff too. Scientific progress at it's finest.

To answer the question, yeah, I care. Gravitons quarks neutrino fiqon or whatever.
Because physics is awesome. XD

Unless it is advantageous to do so, I will not spend time pursuing the knowledge. If time was unlimited I would have, but sadly it is not. Maybe my creation will someday

Knowledge of subatomic particless is really beyond the realm of everyday need.
While knowledge is important and ignorance should be avoided, there is absolutely nothing wrong if a person can't hold his end in a discussion with a LHC scientist. I wouldn't hold it against a person if his knowledge of nuclear physics or quantum mechanics is limited to knowing what protons, electron, and neutrons are.

At the end of the day, I really don't care to much. Sure lots of stuff work for a reason & some people like to know why. I know my computer works & the basics of how it does it. Just that it still puzzles me how so many transistors can work together & bam, I got Fakku ! I'm more interested in automotive engines vs how the world was made.

Not one bit. But the stuff I care about, other people don't. It's only natural. You can't be interested in and study every single thing in the world. There's not enough time for it.
But as Rbz said, I'm glad that some people do care. It may prove worthwhile. Even if there isn't an immediate reward, more knowledge is always good.

I never liked physics much, however I learned enough from school to know that it does majorly affect things. Wish I had taken this subject more seriously but all those theories and mumbo-jumbo had a hard time sticking in my brain.

Personally, I find quantum physics, as well as anything related to it, fascinating. However, its important to remember that knowing something and being able to apply what we know are two completely different animals.
In relation to our understanding of things, our technological capabilities are in the fucking Dark Ages.

Well, you need to understand it before you apply it. Faraday didn't know shit about how electricity can be applied at all. He just studied them out of curiosity, like physicists nowadays are studying quantum mechanics.
