Physics and I

2009-01-13T21:12:00.000-08:00

Physics and I have love-hate relationship. It's such an intriguing intellectual puzzle; however, it annoys me so. Logic and physics are oil and water. That this for example. Today I was trying to come up with a better definition of mass. So, to come up with a better defintion, we need to see how it was created. Well, for that we must go to the Big Bang and the singularity. But to understand the singularity, one needs to understanding general relativity...and to understand GR, one needs SR. The fundamental equations of SR are based on the definition of mass.

Well, shit.

Damn it Godel, why must you screw everything up?

As many of you have notice, I am not one to keep up to date with posting for this blog. But I am quite certain that everyone can empathize with my predicament. For any time I think of the things that I need to do, I think of the things that I need to do. And I do the things that I need to do. But when I am done with the things that I need to do, I no longer have to think of the things I need to do. So I don't think about updating the blog, which is a thing that I need to do. Try to say that ten times fast.

So as you can see, updating the blog is a difficult thing to do.

In other news, the angle CAN be trisected--just make three copies of an angle, put them together, and PRESTO, a trisected angle. Take that Gauss.

P.S. To anyone who spots the logical fallacy in the first paragraph--I do not want to hear it.

The Walker-Bicycle Response Law

2008-10-26T21:28:00.000-07:00

In the months of experience i have riding a bicycle through a crowd of people, I have created a law that determines how a walker will behave when a bicycle approaches them. Here is what it states:

Let vb and vw be the velocities of the bicyclist and the walker with respect to the ground, A the angle between them, and R the distance between them. Then the probability that the walker will begin to exhibit Brownian motion is given by
PB = 0 for A <>
PB = e^(-kR) vb vw for 180 > A > 90
for some constant k. A corallary of this law is that the probability that an accident will occur between increases with PB. So, for God's sake, walk in a PREDICTABLE straight line.

Hello World!
Computer Science is strange. The first program written in any language is always one the prints "Hello World!" How original.
Anyway, this is my wonderful blog. I doubt I will ever keep up, but whatever. As the title may suggest, I enjoy math a little too much. 8128 is my favorite number, perfect in every way. Perfect meaning is it of the form (2^n-1)*2^(n-1), with 2^n-1 being prime. Such a number is called perfect (like 6 and 28), for it is the sum of its positive divisors.
I think this is enough for today. Stay tuned for other posts, if I actually post them.
