A friend in my physics class has been collecting a series of brilliant quotes by our physics professor Woowan Kang this quarter. Here are the best:

With his laser pointer: "set phaser to stun!"

While discussing the discovery of the top quark: "Before then, physicist thought the universe may be topless."

"I walked into analysis and the professor's fly was down. So I got turned off from analysis."

"Analysis leads to paralysis. That's why CIA guys are so bad at predicting terrorists."

"Analysis is like tofu, it has no flavor."

"The math department here is too mathematical...or maybe analytical...or maybe just anal."

"If you build a teleportation machine people will worship you as a god. If you're a guy, women will be flying after you. If you're a girl, you'll have many men to choose from. So physics can be glamorous. Look at Stephen Hawking. Sick, huh? So build teleportation machines if you can. Or maybe if you can't buld a teleportation machine change the universe so Planck's constant is much larger."

While getting really excited about Legendre Polynomials: "this is like pulling the hat out of the rabbit!"

"I'm spreading manure, wait, maybe fertilizer...and I'm planting the seed so it can germinate....so study for your G.R.E."
