Brittney Spears' Guide to Semiconductor Physics

It is a little known fact, that Ms Spears is an expert in semiconductor physics. Not content with just singing and acting, in the following pages, she will guide you in the fundamentals of the vital semiconductor laser components that have made it possible to hear her super music in a digital format.

Splung.com Physics is a website for students of physics with sections on: mechanics, optics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, nuclear physics and cosmology. The site also uses Flash for demonstrations. I am looking to expand this site by concentrating on the interactive components. If you are passionate about physics and would like to collaborate in this project, by writing content then please contact me.

Just because this stuff cracks me up

Not Brittney Spears, but the above is Alex Lifeson’s (RUSH) rant on Paris Hilton during a “jazz” interlude in La Vila Strangiato.

And the following is a math book by “Winnie Cooper” of the Wonder Years (all grown up!). It actually did help our girls.

Its like discovering plutonium!

What a power source LOL

[Bobalu]

Is Splung.com your website??

Looks interesting :-)

[mylife]

You are a nerd.
Rush is a hoot

Math is a language, but I lost the code.

[mylife]

Naw, its just some old thing that has been on the web for ages and makes me laff.

This is an extremely condensed course on solid state physics. I can understand the text, but only because I studied it during my days in university, quite a few decades ago. (These days I do not need to design my own transistors, I buy them at Digikey.) So I forgot most of the material, but reading this helps bring those memories back.

No one can convince me this childish buffoon knows the difference between valence and a valet, or between the strong force and a stiff rudder or what a spitzenkorper is. Money is her only asset, and that will be gone soon. You really are kidding me. Right?

[mylife]

Digikey rocks.

[mylife]

K shells, J Shells, KY Shells, what is the difference?

[Fungi]

I knew it, you were kidding.

I love geek humor :-)

I'm an embedded systems guy and a site I frequent has some good jokes on it

Here is the latest...lol

I knew a semi conductor, drove his rig all over the country.

[fr_freak]

I laughed my butt off at that joke. I think it is even funnier for computer guys.

[Bobalu]

Yup, it’s funny.
There’s a whole bunch of jokes at that site.

Here’s an early 80s British show made in 2002 about maths;

Language processing. Check. Very advanced.

Common sense. Fail.

It worked as expected. It did what you said.

But not what you meant.
