  • Another participant points out that there are multiple equations present, leading to ambiguity about which one is being discussed.
  • A participant humorously suggests that posting the equation on Wikipedia and citing it as a source could be an easy way to prove it.
  • Some participants express that they did not find the equation on Wikipedia, indicating a lack of available references.
  • A later reply clarifies that the previous comment about Wikipedia was intended as a joke, reflecting a light-hearted tone in the discussion.

Which equation? There are at least three, and some use the same variables.
 
the equation which is circled
 
It seems that the easiest way these days is to post it to Wikipedia and then cite it as a source...
 
I didn't find it on wikipedia

Sorry, that was a joke (as is almost everything that I post). What I meant was that if you just want to prove it, you post it on Wikipedia and then cite yourself as the expert for proof. Ah, never mind... I'm just just babbling now...
