Thanks for posting, Brent. Fine topics to dig into when one takes the time.
And if we never take the time for these things, how can we ever expect to derive proper energetic eigenvalues for hydrogen like stuff in the wave we're surfing on, independent of distracting deadlines? The hard answer nobody wants to face is: we don't. And the result is we die as lesser men. For only idiots wait for the right wave, blinking in the sun. A proper surfer of the fundamental just goes when it's time, surfs that one right wave, and simultaneously leaves the idiots waiting for "the wave" in his wake... forever. Timeless cojones. Not even a contest. The gender ghost haunts this statement mumbling something about exclusion, but I just destroyed it before it could finish the sentence. No time for vain attention sinks or these kinds of silly ghosts. They will be crushed as they have dangerous property of propagating tedious boredom broadcast waves, a highly contagious, prevalent, virulent disease of our time. We shouldn't engage this nonsense; just kill it, walk away, and not bother to even contemplate looking back. The wave pushes forward regardless, and laughs at time's ridiculous routines and dead lines. Born (squared tude) again.
