As I've noted before, I am not a physicist.

Thankfully, I have an amazing network of friends and family that were more than happy to put me in touch with all of the actual physicist in their lives.

The list included one of my favorite actress' aunt, Lauren Likkel, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire, and Director of the L. E. Phillips Planetarium; my cousin's friend Gabe Alba, of the Rutgers University Physics Department; and my step-father, Zeke Hoskin, who apart from being a generally witty and funny man, happens to have a Masters in physics.

Their collective help has been inspiring; thanks to each of your for your time.
