Nerd Tattoos Physics Equation -- Onto His Back

by Evan Shamoon on May 31, 2009 at 08:15 PM



For those interested in getting their asses kicked by one or perhaps even many dumb jocks, here's a three-part tattoo you might consider getting: the Born Oppenheimer Approximation, its equivalent in the form of a 3-D Schrödinger Equation, and the solution to the equation itself in the form of a Schrödinger Equation. It's here modeled by a dude named Joe, who recently had the trifecta of nerditude tattooed across his back.

Writing in to Discover's Science Tattoos Blog, Joe had this to say: "As a biochemist and molecular biophysicist I studied a lot of this stuff and I must say, Schrödinger was my favorite and well, I had to do it." An artist named Lisa at Tucson, Arizona's Red Sky Studios sketched all those sigmas into Joe's back, and we're guessing she knows a lot more about Schrödinger than she did a few weeks ago.
