The phenomenon whereby stars eject streams of particles along their axes of rotation is one which puzzled me for so very long in my misspent youth.  It was out of my reach until I came to learn of Maxwell's equations in college.  So impressed was I by those astonishing concepts that I was (and I am still) tempted to have those four awesome equations tattooed upon my person.  But that was before it was hip to get tattoos.
