Eugene Wigner, the physicist, once said, "The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve".
That there has been an 11percentnt increase in the numbers seeking to study chemistry in 2007 and a 12percentnt rise among those applying for physics is a wonderful turnabout for subjects which, it was feared, were sinking due to lack of popularity.
But it's also wonderful news for our field, theoretical physics".
But I've had terrific jobs, a wonderful husband (who was, ironically, a physics major) and two daughters, who are both great science students in the Briarcliff Manor public schools.
"As soon as I was taught physics I thought, 'this is wonderful'," she says.
"No matter how wonderful the system is, the laws of physics and biology still apply".
