Spring Theory

I can't delete the thread and start over, so it looks like I'm stuck with it.😖
And leasing warehouse space is not cheap.

I think it's a cute thread.

the potential energy of a spring is zero
just like your chances of a nobel prize

Them little springs don't need to store energy, they are naturally imbued with energy. They vibrate like the strings in String Theory. And like 'strings' the tiny springs are way too small to see or detect. That's why I need a mathematician for devising a formula that will support my theory of... EVERYTHING!

Why not? I'm sure Spring theory has as much to do with reality as String theory does.

Here's my mathematical contribution to your system: Pie are square - hope it helps

I could go for a square pizza right about now.

anytime an equation has a zero in it you're doomed
why don't you work on something else
like a perpetual motion machine

We have all had second thoughts about it...

I was outside this morning, sipping on my first cup of coffee, when I came up with this idea.
And for what?

40 seconds of my life I can never get back.😩

My hair sticks out in all directions too.

Hey, check it out. I'm starting my own thread!
That's right, this is MY thread! So you all better behave yourselves or you'll risk facing my wrath.
mua ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaa! 🦍

Okay, so this morning I came up with a new version of string theory to clean up some of the niggling little problems it presents. Instead of tiny 'strings' I propose everything is made up of spr ...[text shortened]... cr*p.
If this works out and a Nobel prize is not out of the question, I'm willing to share credit.

Ok, here’s yer equation: 2 B or ~ 2 B. That is the question.

I expect an acknowledgment when you get the Nobel Prize.

So do you see the known universe as a kind of matrass, then, able to bend time and space when we jump on it?

I agree!

Perhaps cuteness should be factored into any grand universal theory.

All right! Now we're getting somewhere!
And a posthumous acknowledgement will go to William as well.

Let's not forget the Sinatra-Yodaic Corollary:

Be do, do be do.

If I understood you then yeah, it's something like that. A universe should be springy. Not flat with nothing but straight lines, and mushy.

Sort of like string ?

Sort of, but bouncy... not stringy.

And it should be growing, as a universe is. And there should be many, which I believe there are.
