"Someday i hope to be a wacky, flannel-sportin' physicist. my tattoo is schroedinger's equation for the wave function of a particle. i chose this equation because its elegance & symmetry reflect that of our multiverse, & also because it describes the fundamental source of "quantum weirdness." time travel, quantum computers...no matter what happens in my life, there is an infinitely Glorious Plan swirling all about us....I would be honored to be included among the ranks of badass scientists all over the world. oh, & if you have any pull with any preeminent physicists, tell brian greene to return my fan mail! :]"
