I can't help it: Half past a monkey's a$$ according to his balls.
Oh wait...that's what my brother used to say whenever I asked him what time it was.
Blackfoot...just wanted to let you know, as a former member (now, just a "sustaining" member) of the club, welcome. The club, of course, is Corri's Project to Improve the Male Persona, or PIMP, for short. I can't begin to tell you how belonging to the club has changed my life for the better. I've gone from an emasculated doormat, to a nearly-fully enlightened peephole. Soon, I hope to be elevated to the transom-level, and then, maybe, one day, the Portico Roof, (what we in PIMP call the "nirvana" level).
I am really babbling this morning.
Just make sure you get the full membership package, which includes an autographed picture of Corri wearing some rather interesting biker gear. Whenever I visualized my little angel whispering in my ear, telling me to stay out of my W's sh!t, the little angel was wearing the biker gear.
I'm actually interested in your little formula you posted here... but you should take it over to your thread so we don't hijack Blackie's. And I did read your square thing... I just haven't had time to sit down and try and draw it... But back to the formula... I had one once where I could prove that 1 + 1 = 1... can't find it now, and I can't replicate it. Bummer.
One rule of thumb, though. If you are going to post stuff like this, you have to dumb it down. Way down. I don't know what ^ means, so the significance is getting lost on me. I'm an armchair geek, not a trained one. (no offense). So in order for me to be impressed, you have to explain it all to me, and stay out of the higher ed speak.

That's ok...I can live with that, I'll shoulder that burden somehow.
BTW, I haven't noticed anyone else mention this to you, and I'm sure you're astute enough to already know this....but be prepared for your W to continue contacting you, and continue to try to get back with you. Sounds to me like she's in an emotional whirlpool right now, it's very possible that she will continue knocking at your door to see what your emotional temperature is towards her.
This is a tough time for you, I'm sending good thoughts your way Blackie!
Ill get to your cute little formulae in a bit, with its agenda and answer all ready givin in your post. of course your theroem has any suppositions in order for it to work. I have to run off for dinner and I dont have time to give your theroem the attention it deserves.
Sheesh are you a teacher? Used to leading your students along step by step? Where did you find that equation, BTW? and why didnt you use E=H_V instead? oh yes wouldnt prove your point, me thinks.
Chromo, I often tell engineers and architects, "yep your right, it IS right there on paper. Problem is it wont be right THERE in reality. Just cause you can draw it, doesnt mean I can build it." <under breath dumbass>
My math is rusty, but I cant for the life of me reconcile how you went from line three to line four
a^2 - b^2 = ab-b^2 (a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
ARGGHH, does not compute.
Damnit I got to run. Id rather play with you guys now then go off to dinner..... sheesh. and I have to sit some more. MY A$$ is killing me. 3 days of horseback riding....

Actually, I don't care what your answer is... I absolutely adore this formula, and I don't want you messing with it. Any theory can get blown out of the water if one fiddles long enough. That's why they are theories. But you nibbled, and if given time, probably would have gone on a counter point diatribe that would have blistered my eye balls. I'll spare you. It was the nibble I was interested in.... and I'll bet you had the counter point diatribe in your head, ready to write, almost before you got done reading my post, hm? That lightning fast processing is what I'm interested in... give me an estimate. How long did it take you before you knew what you wanted to write back, had you had the time to do it?

No, just don't like to leave out anyone who might be following along, and perhaps may not be fluent in Geek Speak. Kinda rude, wouldn't you say?
And this is my point. You got condescending on me. Intellectually snobbish, if you will. You went from speaking to me as a fellow human being straight into 'problem solving mode,' and ran rough shod all over my delicate sensibilities. Emotion flies out the window in 'super processing mode.'
Given the level I was operating on, let's say a simplistic level, is there another way you could've responded to me that would give me another point (or further information) to consider without insulting my obvious inferior intelligence (and hurting my feelings in the process?)

'Cuz were I any less than the one hell of a gal that I am, or had thinner skin... or didn't have a point I was trying to make, I'd tell you to kiss my lily white azz with the above response you gave me. You don't need to attack to counter.
Any chance you might see where I'm heading with this?
"Consider a closed box filled with "n" photons of light of frequency (that is, color) "w". Lets assume that there is NOTHING in this box other than these photons."
You are describing the classic quantum mechanical problem, a particle in an infinite square well. Of course, you are describing the slightly more difficult 3-d version (most QM texts start with 1-d). It was with this classic gedanken experiment (actually he used harmonic oscillator potentials to represent molecular bonds) that Planck was first able to describe accurately the observed spectrum of the so-called "blackbody", a perfect absorber/emitter. Classical wave theory could not explain the observed spectrum, so when Planck used quantized bits of light (photons) and accurately reproduced it, it was the first major step toward a unified quantum theory of light finally cemented in Einstein's photoelectric effect experiment (for which he won the Nobel prize, not for relativiey or E = mc^2)
"(In practise you never have light of a single color, so this is really an idealization, but it will keep things simple)."
When Planck added a distribution of photon frequencies, it led to the development of the blackbody formula.
"E=(1/2+n)h_bar w"
Here you are describing the eigenvalues of the solution of the time-independant Schroedinger equation for the harmonic oscillator. It is one of only a few analytically solvable problems in QM. Most require numerical methods. The eigenvalues for the particle in a box are slightly different however:
E = pi^2 h-bar^2 n^2 / 2 m a^2
That is for the 1-d particle in a box, the 3-d version is a little different.
"We already assumed that there was nothing else in the box, so when the photons are gone, you really have NOTHING. Again: E=(1/2+n)h_bar w What's the catch?"
Here is where you lost me in your argument. The solutions to the Schroedinger equation for the harmonic oscillator potential are solvable irrespective of the presence or absence of photons to occupy the levels.
Well, now that I have thoroughly engaged in some Charlie Brown's teacher talk (wah wah wah wah), I hope you all have a good night's sleep.
I am impressed Corri with your knowledge of quantum theory. Taken a class or two?
"Recollect me darlin, raise me to your lips, two undernourished egos, four rotating hips"
Me too. I actually like being a nerd. A big, handsome, athletic, artistic, musically-talented, nerd. I think the self-esteem stuff is working. I just wish I didn't feel like Stuart Smalley sometimes.
