I have to admit I don't really know what they are
I know they're negatively charged, have something to do with electricity and it's too simple to say they ate arranged in shells of 2 8 8 or something but yeah.

I have no concept of how the fuck they work and where they are.
Oh, and they have no mass? Bloody hell gcses were a long time ago.

I know the difference between a Manet and a Monet painting.
I bet Al doesn't.

Manet did the one of the people in the park, or am I wrong?
The really odd but pretty one.

Yup, first one on google images for Manet.

Psst!
They have a mass, it's about 9.11 x 10^-31kg. The massless particles you're thinking of are photons.

I wasn't sure of the latter thing.
Having a weightless particle makes no sense to me.

Light is another thing I do not fucking understand. can't even remember the angle of refraction.

It is dependant on the medum in which the light is being refracted

We had to learn the one for glass, I think.

No one really "understands" light
Debate has raged for hundreds of years over whether it's a wave or a particle, and since some time around 1906 people have grudgingly come to accept that it's some strange amalgamation of the two (i.e., it exhibits some properties of a particle but also some properties of a wave)

Yeah, I remember reading that.
The Only thing I really remember is red shift, as at the time I had no idea what it was so drummed it into my head.

They have mass
it's just very small when compared to the whole of the atom. Which itself is very small when compared to anything you can see.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 12 May 2011, 14:22, Reply)

they weigh about as much as a duck.

Fucking science.
How does it work?

You mix it in a beaker and drink it.

Any mass is small when compared to you

Except the mass of air contained in your vagina
which, in a strange coincidence, weighs as much as me.

I knew I shouldn't have added that additional harbour
