Schrödinger equation is always a great word to know.
So is viscosity. Does it mean:
the property of a fluid that resists the force tending to cause the fluid to flow; the measure of the extent to which a fluid possesses this property
the meeting of particles or of bodies in which each exerts a force upon the other, causing the exchange of energy or momentum

Schrödinger equation
 
n
an equation used in wave mechanics to describe a physical system. For a particle of mass m and potential energy V it is written (ih/2π).(∂ψ/∂t) = (--h²/8π²m)∇²ψ + Vψ, where i = √--1, h is the Planck constant, t the time, ∇² the Laplace operator, and ψ the wave function
