- I was leafing thru the news, and noticed some of what Mr. Abian said
- (IF I may quote): "My little finger has more intelligence than Newton
- and Einstein put together"
-
- Very impressive (If true).
-
- Mr. Abian also says (In the tag line of each message),
- "E=mcc (Einstein) must be replaced by E=m(0)exp(-At) (Abian)"
-
- Now, I'm a T.A. for 1'st year physics, and if ANYONE handed this in
- they would FAIL. Not on the basis of theory, but plain UNITS.
-
- [E]=kg*m*m/s*s
- [mcc]=kg *(m/s)*(m/s)=[E]
-
- So far so good...
- However, Mr. Abian says E=m(0)exp(-At)
-
- [m(0)]=kg (of course)
- [exp(-At)]=dimensionless
-
- From his equation, I can deduce that [A]=inverse time, but perhaps,
- Mr. Abian, you missed a proportionality constant somewhere? I may not
- be as intelligent as you claim to be, but I propose a slight
- modification to your theory...
-
- E=mcc (Einstein) must be replace by E=m(0)C exp(-At) (Abian-DeKok)
-
- Where the C, of course is a constant with [C]=m*m/s*s
- Hopefully waiting for future recognition.
