Ranting: Square Root of a Lemon
ME: hi cheti! what is the square root of a lemon?
C: lemon marangue pie
C: i think
ME: really?
C: it's entirely possible
C: what do you think?
ME: well, steve says it's georgia.
C: hmm
ME: steve say that "its a universal constant derived by dividing the number of electrons by the amount of midget in a room " Steve: "strangely is equal to the square root of a lemon" idk....sounds legit
ME: lol
C: well the electron to midget ratio should be proportional to the propotional to the charge/mass ratio multiplied by a mass per midget ratio
C: so, if we launch midgets into a uniform magnetic field under a certain voltage
C: we should be able to deduce the charge.mass ratio
C: by observing the radius of the helical path the midget will travel, we should be able to deduce an experimental value for the square root of lemon
C: we just need to use the formula Q/M = 2V/r^2 B^2
ME: omg....
ME: genius
C: hmm...
C: we would need some large equipment
C: we can most likely accumulate a charge of 100 micro-coloumbs on a midget and the subject could probably survive 120 volts
C: if we assume an average mass in the neighborhood of 40kg
C: and a magnetic field in the neighborhood of .1 tesla
C: seems reasonable
ME: OMG.... again... this is genius...
C: under these conditions, the radius of the path would be about 1x10^5 meters, or about 100Km
C: so i don't think the experiment is feasable
C: so a theoretical, or computer simulated model will have to do
C: circumstantial evidence does seem to suggest that the square root of the lemon will only converge for values close to that of georgia
C: so i think i'll have to agree with steve on this one
C: so i think i'll have to agree with steve on this one
C: and i think it's bed time for me
