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!

Why Superconductors Act the Way They DoA 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?
