no, no it is not

the equation the OP posted is THE FAMOUS EQUATION......not kidding that is its official title...

thats just you math n00bies who think e=mc^2 is famous becuase of the recent (okay about 7 decades) hype...😉

 

[Epic Fail]

they needed to add a fudge factor (+1) into it to make it work, blah.

HAHAHA, Until you mentioned this, I was like, WTF is this dude on, and WTF is "j" =P

Hype == Famous

Obviously nobody's heard of quadratic reciprocity.

yuo = teh suck

 

[dugweb]

okay, now someone explain a practical use for the equation... (i.e. wtf is the e variable represent?)

lol actually most people probably have, they just havent heard it that way ??

I don't think you're thinking of the same equation that I am.

I doubt post people know that equation. the most famous equation among the general population is probably e = mc^2

without e and complex numbers you wouldn't be reading the intarweb here. oh and e is the natural exponential (2.71blahbah)

So did you ever figure it out?

You know what's sad, I actually know all these equations.

How about the Euler Product?

that's not even the full equation. it's E^2= (mc^2)^2 something.

and my equation relates the five most important numbers, 1, 0, e, pi, and j.

E^2 = (mc^2)^2 + (pc)^2

But when at rest, p = 0, so it reduces down to E = mc^2

You know, I really don't understand why anyone does their own math homework who is in high school anymore. We've got to have at least 50 engineers on this board capable of doing any and all high school math.

it's either an intermitten electrical problem or a problem with the brush contacts in the generator. either way, we're running it and monitoring everything we can as we speak, or they were supposed to do the test at 6:30...

might have a problem with the "thyresistor" which is a new circuit element i learned about today. apparently, as the voltage increases, the resistance of it decreases, thus allowing it to absorb voltage spikes from the inductive kickback we got when the current was interrupted on the generator.

I think the actual title is "the most beautiful mathematical equation."

That's not a equation, dumbass 😛

About 6 years ago I was having fun in a physics new-theories newsgroup, and came up with the simple formula m=yf. That should be the most famous. 😉

In Smart's "Helical Field Theory," the atom consists of spinning particle
fields rather than electrons orbiting a nucleus.

Under the current atom model, the effect of atoms absorbing photons is
briefly shown here:

(url no longer valid)

Now, using the new theory, there needs to be an explanation in the change of
energy states, corresponding to spectrum lines.

As you know, energy is defined as frequency multiplied by Planck's constant.
Energy is also defined as mass multiplied by the square of the speed of
light.

E=hf and E=mc^2

If we set hf equal to mc^2,

hf=mc^2

We can focus on mass, by moving c^2 to the other side,

m=(hf)/(c^2)

And combine the two constants into a single constant, known as the
Westmoreland Constant,

y=h/(c^2)

Now mass equals frequency multiplied by the Westmoreland constant.

m=yf

The particle fields in the new atom model retain a particular resonance
frequency. When photons are absorbed or emitted, it changes the resonance
frequency, causing the atom to have a higher energy state.
