AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a unique watch featuring various equations, primarily from electrical engineering and electromagnetic theory. Notable equations mentioned include the transistor gain formula (β = ΔIC /ΔIB) and the Poynting vector (S = (1/μ0)(E × B)), which represents energy flow in electromagnetic fields. Additionally, there is a reference to a quantum mechanics equation related to kinetic energy. The watch's design allows for time-telling despite the complex equations displayed. Overall, the conversation highlights the intersection of physics and engineering concepts represented in the watch's design.

I got this awesome new watch with equations on it, but I don't recognize any of them (except E=mc^2 obviously). Anyone know what they could be referring to?

You could still somewhat tell the time, the positions of the hands are the same :P
offtopic:
That is an awesome watch! ;)
 
One of them is the Poyinting vector: ##\vec {S} = \dfrac {1}{\mu_0}(\vec{E} \times \vec{B})## (It's the energy per unit time per unite area)
 
I see an expression for kinetic energy in quantum mechanics on the bottom left, namely just the p^2.
 
That equation below the delta IB has 8mL4 in the denominator. I recognize that from quantum mechanics, I think.

Notable movies include Barefoot in the Park (1967 with Jane Fonda), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969, with Paul Newma), Jeremiah Johnson, the political drama The Candidate (both 1972), The Sting (1973 with Paul Newman), the romantic dramas The Way We Were (1973), and...
