An actual "formula" would relate those elements with mathematical
"operators", "functions", "relations" and such; you may be familiar
with the simpler ones like "plus", "minus", and "equals" for instance.

Try adding some to your words above to see if you can write an
actual "formula".

After you have gained your senses, please examine the ultimate formula
below.

0 = 0

That formula was the thesis in Einstein’s only book in his lifetime.
The subject of this book is of course relativity which is extremely
poorly written. In it, Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the
liar was able to pull out the Lorentz transform from the ultimate
formula above. Priests of SR and GR are still totally bedazzled by
that matheMAGICal trick today.

Excuse me? You said a formula. Just listing some things
is not a formula.

Actually, the Ultimate formula, expressed as an equation,
would have one side as the number "42". What the other side
is, we don't know. Hah!

Try G_\mu\nu + \Lambda{g_\mu\nu} = {8\pi\G \over c^4}T_\mu\nu [*] .

Not that I expect you to understand this -- certainly I
don't, except that \pi, G, and c are well-known constants,
and \Lambda is the cosmological constant. I'm not up
on proper handling of the tensors G_\mu\nu, T_\mu\nu,
and g_\mu\nu .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_field_equations

Nor does this even qualify as the ultimate formula, as it
doesn't address the quantum effects readily visible at
the microlevel.

Quantum effects might be addressable by the Dirac equation:

( {\beta}m_e{c^2} + sum(k=1 to 3)(\alpha_k{p_k}c ) ) \psi(x,t) =
i\hbar{\partial \psi \over \partial t}(x,t)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_equation

where m_e is electron mass, p is the momentum operator,
alpha and beta are Hermitian matrices, \psi is
the wavefunction (a quantum mechanical concept),
i^2 = -1, and x and t are the space and time coordinates.

AFAIK, mathematicians/physicists have yet to merge the two.

[*] the notation I'm using is a slightly simplified form of TeX.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX
In strict TeX one would use the notation \sum_{k=1}^3,
which is less clear from an ASCII standpoint.

There are more authoritative references, I'm sure.

Grading your troll on a scale of one-to-ten with (Mitch's being a
ten solely for comparison purposes in this exercise), I give you a
four point five. Your troll score was lower than his because you
demonstrate a familiarity with not only basic mathematics (you know
how to construct an equation) but also with Dimensional Analysis.

I'd have given you a lower score but the sheer innocence of the way
you phrased your question was disarming enough to get you several
bonus points.

Anyway, for those truly interested, here's a brief introduction to
Dimensional Analysis using commonly understandable quantities:

This accusation shows how poor your understanding of relativity is

So, let me get this straight. Just because you can perform that
infantile matheMAGICal trick, you are able to conclude my mathematical
skill is poor. That is some fine connection all right. <shrug>

I am very sorry to disappoint you, but I do not take lithium. <shrug>

Should I start to take lithium? If so and if I develop health

hmmmm, wasn't expecting a troll response, in the infamous formula
e=mc(squared) time is taken for granted. i.e. speed=distance/time.
what exactly is time? obviously it is the limit at which photons
travel, but is that an exact measurement? the density of the medium
obviously plays a role in this.
ok here is the hard part, density assumes there is mass, and mass has

Looked to me that _I_ was responding to a troll. The hint about
"dimensional analysis" wasn't taken, which reinforces my guess.

In case I was wrong, look at this 'holog':

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

Now, rewrite your equation:

> energy = (mass) x (time)

in terms of M, L, and T and see if you can tell what's wrong with
it.

Yes, and the secular length increase is 1 part in 10^8 per year,
and the secular "decrease in c" from the mid-1940s to 1960 (63?)
is 1 part in 10^8, so Pt-Ir was the culprit in the apparent
change in c for that period. Timing and transfer methods had
improved tremendously...

Just odd that steel changes just the opposite...

ROTFL! You're getting much better at this! Yes, of course steel is a
class of alloys of C and Fe.

That is to say:

energy = M*(L^2/T^2)

mass = M

time = T

hence energy = (mass) x (time) becomes

M*(L^2/T^2) = M*T

which rather obviously does not equate.

'Invar' is an Fe-Ni alloy named for it's near-nonexistent
coefficient of thermal expansion:

'invar' as in 'invariant', see?

Middle of the page, table "ISQ base quantities".

Notice the next sentence:

"All other quantities are derived quantities since their dimensions
are derived from those of base quantities by multiplication and
division."

That's why 'energy' is called a 'derived quantity'. Now look at your
equation again and think about this for a while.
