Physics is My Specialty


Since I don't have my journal, I'll just have to make do. I'm sorry if the stuff I record here doesn't make any sense to you, but it does to me.
I don't want to start forgetting again...

F = 96 485.339 9(24) C/mol
F=Avogadro's number times the elementary change of an electron (e)
Avagadro's number= 6.022x10 to the 23rd power mols to the negative one power
e= 1.602x10 to the negative 19th power C

m=(Q/F)(M/z)
m is the mass of the substance altered at an electrode
Q is the total electric charge passed through the substance
F = 96 485 C mol-1 is the Faraday constant
M is the molar mass of the substance
z is the valence number of ions of the substance (electrons transferred per ion)

Using Eddington-Finkelstein Coordinates (V, R) removes (?) the singularity at R=2m As R gets smaller - Light Cones tip over.

Oh, and by the way...could I stay somewhere with any of you? I don't really like walking around these streets, if you know what I mean.

It's thanks to him that I know as much as I do. He helped me every time I got stuck in my alchemy studies, and he's a lot smarter than me.

It'd be nice if we could visit other worlds... On our own, without people kidnapping us, I mean. It'd be really interesting to see how they're all different...

Well, nice to meet you Russell.

Colonel? So these scientists are part of the military? We have scientists part of our military but they don't actually go out and fight in battle.

...I'm not crazy. I only have memory loss...

Why are physicists in the asylum on your world? Is physics not believed in or something?

I wish I knew science for her to spazz out over with him

Oh! Science! I love science!

I always liked making diagrams, but they don't ever get the whole kit n' kaboodle in there, but then equations never seem like the easiest way to talk about geometric entities either, you know?


Has anyone told you about Team Science yet?

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I would love to see all these other worlds if I could. But it would be rather hard to persuade the other scientists on my world that these worlds even exist...

So , you think we were kidnapped by someone? Like who?

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I like science too.

Yes, that's exactly what I think too! Science should be discussed as well as drawn! It's a harmonious conjunction between the written word and the spoken word.

No, no one has told me about this Team Science. What is it?
greennotgold: (Wibble)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2009-04-21 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe there's something you can take back as evidence. Is this world different from your own somehow?

Well... I don't know. But someone had to bring us here, it couldn't have happened on its own. And I don't know enough about this world to know who could have done it.

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, this world is very similar to mine. It also has a Manhattan, but my Manhattan doesn't have a big monster running around in it.

....Or, maybe it does, and this is the future of my world.

As for evidence, the only evidence I would have is to bring one of you back with me, since scientists are so stubborn in my world that they won't believe it until they see it.
greennotgold: (Mousey)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2009-04-21 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
That might work as evidence... if you brought back a magician or an alchemist, they'd have to accept that it was true.

Scientists are the same where I'm from... I didn't believe that magic was really real until I saw people using it.

[identity profile] dontcallmeangus.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like that's my cue! Thanks, Willow.

Anyways, we're a group o' folks who specialize in various disciplines of science and try to make life here a little better for everyone. We've got a virologist, an archaeologist, computer science people...don't rightly have a dedicated physicist, but I'm pretty handy with that, chemistry, and engineering.

Name's MacGyver. Nice to meet'cha!

[identity profile] just-like-daddy.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, in exchange for research funds and instant prestige.

Not all of them. There's sane ones, but not a lot of people put any faith in this talk of going into space, traveling at the speed of light, and all of that. It's ridiculous.

*sounds interested* And you understand all of this?

Why are my physics formulas more interesting to you than a normal conversation? Or are you talking about the things I talked to people about?

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hello, MacGyver. The name's Daniel Faraday.

This Team Science sounds rather interesting- it sounds like a group I was part of back in my world.

How do you join this Team Science, by any chance?

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not a very good system of military at all...I don't like it.

But, on my world, we've already gone into spce! We've seen all the planets of the solar system, and we've even landed on our moon!

The speed of light thing still needs to be worked out though...but I did hear that an airplane flying at the speed of light was planned to be built in a few years...

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, scientists are naturally stubborn. I think it's a part of the species.

Not saying I'm stubborn- but it will take a lot for me to believe something until I witness it.

There's magic? Really? And magic was the stuff of stories back on my world.

[personal profile] greennotgold 2009-04-22 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, sir. I don't understand how it works, in fact by the rules of my world it shouldn't, but it does!

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite strange...

So, on your world, magic is like that unexplainable phenomenon that plays an integral part of your science, am I correct?
greennotgold: (Huh...)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2009-04-22 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, everything in science can be explained. If something looks like magic, what it really is is just something we can't explain yet.

There are people even in my world who think of alchemy as being like magic, though. I guess the definition is different for everyone.

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Not quite though, since in my world, there are still stuff that has yet to be explained.

Like the presence of dark matter for example, or how large the universe is.

Even some people would call that magic, I think, if they haven't even heard of dark matter before.
greennotgold: (Blank)

[personal profile] greennotgold 2009-04-22 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't remember if I've heard of that, I've read so many books since I came here... I'll have to go look it up again.

Just because something can't be explained yet doesn't mean it's mystical. But there are people here who can do things that they call magic. There might be some explanation for it... but if even the people doing it call it magic, I think that's the only thing we can call it for now.

[identity profile] just-like-daddy.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not just them. There's regular soldiers too. They keep their certification for as long as their work is relevant to the military's interests.

That's nice, but it's still insane. If you want to climb in a tin can going thousands of miles an hour, be my guest.

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...so it seems your world is ruled more by military than government...

I'm not planning to get into a spaceship anytime soon, but they do exist. And airplanes are not tin cans...

[identity profile] ineedaconstant.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if magic does exist in other worlds, I can't deny it. Although there might be something utterly scientific behind it, I don't think that many people will readily accept that.

After all, it's amazing how fascinated we are with the things we can't explain...

Ah! Fletcher and Russell!

They seem to be particularly bright boys. I haven't had such a enlightening conversation in a long time...

It's rather interesting to find out what type of worlds share the common concepts of science. What was your world like, miss?
