Tutorial - How To Be Successful

I am a winner.

What makes a winner a winner, Allen?

We do it!

Do what, Allen?

We just do it.

We do it, and do it, and do it, and do it until the job gets done.

We are excited, enthusiastic and passionate. And we stay that way for however long it takes us to win.

When I was a mid-teenager, I was captaining a private research vessel through three oceans to study wild dolphins up close. I was still young, and it was a vessel I did not own nor steer. But I plotted its course, I did the main research, and my word to stop or go was the word to be listened to. However, it needed 12 years of training with (wild) animals,

I miss ya, mate.Dear friend,
when we stumbled over each other in the Australian outback in 99, I was young and eager to explore the wild on my own, something you had already achieved long before. I did not know your name, nor your face, and you, ever so humble, appreciated that more than I knew. With me, you were able to be an ordinary man.
Camp Cooee turned upside down with you around, as it sometimes did, despite its location way out in the bush, nestled between the trees. We became friends and brothers in arms for a brief time, and despite my inability to explain the theory of relativity to someone as hyper as you, you still perked up and listened with a bright shine in your eyes when I told you that all the world and its inhabitants are made from stardust. It was the same shine you always had when we talked about wildlife.
I'm thankful to have learned a great deal from you about the outback, survival methods, how to deal with snakes and other dangerous wildlife. It has been my honor and privilege

The Shapes Of Hydrogen - Posterby *DarkSilverflame

Designs & Interfaces / Infographics

Beauty can be found anywhere in nature. Alluring forms and shapes linger even in the deepest of depths.

This is something fairly spontaneous I did last night for all your geeky pleasures. I wrote a program to plot the volumes in which electrons can be found in a hydrogen atom, according to the laws of quantum mechanics. Brighter areas represent higher probability of the electron being there. These volumes are the orbitals or electron shells of the atom, which have beautiful shapes in the form of spherical harmonics.
What a fine excuse to show a complicated equation in a deviation

(n, l, m) are the quantum numbers of the orbitals, where n is the principal number associated with its order and energy, while l and m are associated with angular momentum and spin of the electron. So the number n=1,2,3,4,5... is basically what used to be the number of the electron shell in Bohr's old model of the atom, which is probably what you've learned in school.

By the way, there is no category on dA fitting this kind of illustration. Shame on you, dA!

YES!!!!! Quantum mechanics for the win!!! I haven't heard the words "spherical harmonics" in months, since I took quantum mechanics. I look back with fondness on it now. So cool! Thanks for sharing the geekiness!!!

I am showing this to all the people in my department, as I bet they will enjoy it too.

My hand probably high fives you right now, but I can't be sure - too much interference.

Lolz.... those slits you know, you can never be quite sure

Spherical harmonics ♥

Uhhhh... I'm suffering through a chem class this semester...

*DarkSilverflame Mar 21, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

No worries, it's just chemistry, not quantum mechanics

Simply think of chemistry as atoms making deals with each other concerning their electrons. Because that's all it is

Gettin' awfully Feynman up in here.

~ScottMan2th Jan 1, 2013

have you considered a short animation of these shapes morphing from one sequence into the next? think it would be rather cool...just sayin'

*DarkSilverflame Jan 1, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

There are no shapes in-between; these are the only shapes. It can be only one or the other. That's what quantum mechanics is all about - things are quantized, not continuous
