Okay, so this might be a thread where people can post "a page of [their] notes." Pretty much, just something interesting that you jotted down-- something crazy and impossible even. I think it is neat to hear the ideas of others simply as a mind exercise. I like seeing how much I can warp my thought process to follow that of somebody else.

So I will go first and this isn't entirely outlandish. This is actually from a notebook from when I was in seventh grade (2005), so there are likely errors and whatnot, but it is still a cool idea At the end of this excerpt, I will expand on the idea Feel free to comment!

6/30/05 Thurs. Why Superconductors Act the Way They Do
A few Nobel Prize winners (for the discovery of superconductors), said that super conductors work because two electrons come together to form a bond, yet that normally would not happen. I think they said they don't know why. Here is what I think: 2 likes repel (positive and positive push away and negative and negative push away ). Well, think about it. Superconductors survive at very low temperatures and A:) at low temperatures, electrons are forced together because the atom is extremely "cold" and like most things, it "bunches up." And B) the magnetic fields that would normally destroy the bond isn't there because of the temperature

----

So anyway, a lot of that looks a little vommity, but here is what I would add and revise:

As temperature decreases, electrical fields are diminished. This would be attributed to the fact that to cool down, energy must be removed, blah blah. This would make the repelling forces of two electrons significantly weaker, allowing them to bond together.

In an electrical transfer of energy, electrons are kind of pushed along. Normally, some energy is lost this way, but with the idea of the two bonded electrons, they don't have energy to lose! So by the time they reach the end of the superconductive environment, they gain back their energy and there repelling forces and no energy is lost once they have split back up!

Anywho, I really have never studied this kind of thing properly, so I am sure there are some key ideas missing and incorrect, but it is still neat to think about, right?

About your notes on superconductivity, I'm actually doing research on room temperature superconductors right now.  Personally, I believe that the key to room temperature superconductivity lies within phonons. (that's all I'm going to give away)

Oh, and btw, researchers have know confirmed that the transition into superconducting phase and the Meisner Effect happen at different temperatures.

I don't either.  Whenever I get interested in a topic, I will go weeks without sleep researching it.
ex. last summer I became obsessed with Star Wars, and I read just about every page on Wookiepedia (Star Wars wiki)

Consider it done.

should I post my notes about z80asm here?

screen-full of texts.

To be honest, I never have to take notes.  I can remember most of what the teacher says, and we almost never learn anything new.

My secret to taking notes(when I have to): Scribble random stuff and say you wrote in cursive.
