My Favourite Equations

Hiya fellow Science geeks

Prepare yourself for some right nerdy post as I tell you some of the most beautiful equations that you should know in the universe. Who needs party tricks like back flipping or eyeballing vodka when you can impress all the chicks with your extensive knowledge on equations? I mean it worked for Einstein in getting laid why not the rest of us!

My Favourite equation number 1.

Newtons law of motion

 

Besides from being very simplistically beautiful it also describes how the moon goes round the earth.

 

My Favourite equation number 2.

Eulers Formulae

 

Describes two equivalent ways to move in a circle. This is the first one;

 

 

 

Here is the second one;

 

Last but not least my favourite equation number 3.

The Drake equation

 

The drake equation is an estimation of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

 

what the little symbols means;

 

R^* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy

f_p = the fraction of those stars that have planets

n_e = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets

f_ℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point

f_i = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life

f_c = the fraction of civilisations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space

L = the length of time for which such civilisations release detectable signals into space

 

 

 

Now I've given you all the equations to impress all the chicks at the bar so put on your best trousers and go pull some girls!

 

 

 

 

Although probably not these trousers....
