First find out about introspective.
the ghost of you
sets its eyes to the West
present in time
yet lost to the future
mothers hold on to empty bodies
while their children slip away
like moths to flames
running towards neon warfire
already the hearse awaits
someone please turn the wheel back
could I?
should I?
at the end of the world
if you carry on this way
you are never coming home
so long and goodnight
The Imagery
apparitions leave their flesh
bound for neon lights and war fire
driving the hearse
The Content
Pretty new to the Phandom. Did a mashup of The Ghost of You and Helena. In a way it progresses from pre-death to post-death. My sentiments for those studying in the US.
Everyone is hyped for graduating, but I have a sinking feeling that some of these people are.. never coming back. Not in the sense that we will no longer be in contact (come on, we are living in the year 2016 already), but that peace is not guaranteed over the next couple decades. In this chaotic day and age it happens.
I would love to turn the wheel and stop it all from happening. But could I? Should I? I best I can do is pray that God brings them home some day.

Isaiah 40:31
"but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint"
Most people have at least one university acceptance by now. I have had two extremely difficult conditional offers, five rejections, and four more competitive decisions to hear from. I will have a place in Taiwan for sure, since I listed some twenty insurance choices.. and being the valedictorian too!
I had my doubts when applying: my parents, my counsellors, my peers.. they were all too optimistic. Mum opposed my choosing University of Manchester and University of Nottingham for their "low" ranking, yet I applied anyways. Ironically, those are the only two offers I hold now.
My peers are all drunk on senior-itis, and here I am still working my brains out for APs. I was hoping that I would receive one unconditional acceptance this month so that I can soothe my nerves, but I was not granted that. I suppose this is God's way of telling me to work harder.
Knowing that there are plans for me gives me the strength to study harder. What I manage to garner will not be in vain. If anything, it is the wait that gives me incentive to work, to prepare and anticipate what is to come.
It has been three intense months. Cramming two AP courses into four certainly was not easy. Looking at my practice now I am guaranteed a pass, but whether I meet any conditions is still up to the next month.
Studying in the UK might not be God's will; however unlikely, university might not even be God's will. Whatever happens, I will study harder, and wait until my future is revealed. I believe that all is for the best.

Early Quantum Theory
Prerequisite: physics, algebra2
"Quantum" is a scary word, but is really only means "quantity". The most significant discreet quantity is in Planck's quantum hypothesis for photon energy:
E = nhƒ
in which the integer n quantizes light such that you cannot have fractional photons.
The graph shows the wavelength of light bombarding blackbodies of certain temperatures, and the intensity of light radiated from the blackbody. Wien's Law tells what wavelength makes a blackbody radiate the most intense light, at a certain temperature T.
When light shines onto the curved metal plate, it emits electrons and causes a current to run through the setup. The voltage supplied to oppose this current is the stopping potential. This voltage and the electron's charge would be the electron's kinetic energy.
The classical understanding of radiation is that when sufficient energy builds up, a particle breaks free of the object. Intuitively, a metal would eventually radiate if a light is shined on it long enough. Experiments on this photoelectric effect show that the only way to get a metal to radiate is to shine a light of high enough frequency, no matter how intense or prolonged the light.
The work function is the energy required to remove an electron. In accordance with experimental results, there is a certain light frequency that must be achieved before an electron can escape.
There are four ways in which particles can interact:
1) photoelectric effect
2) electron excitation
3) Compton effect
4) pair production
This is pair production:
Light hits a nucleus and forms a positron and electron. Charge and momentum are conserved. Beautiful.
