Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the expression e/c^2 * j * PV/nR, with participants exploring its nature and potential interpretations. The scope includes conceptual clarifications and speculative reasoning related to thermodynamics and physics.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants assert that the expression is not a formula due to the absence of an equals sign.
  • Others suggest it may relate to relativistic thermodynamics, although this is not universally accepted.
  • A participant interprets the expression as resembling a gas law, questioning the nature of the variable 'j' as potentially imaginary.
  • Another participant presents a breakdown of the expression, relating it to mass (M) and temperature (T) in a specific format.
  • Some participants express frustration or dismissiveness towards the discussion, indicating a lack of engagement with the topic.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on whether the expression constitutes a formula or what its implications might be, with multiple interpretations and some disagreement on its components.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the definitions of variables and the assumptions behind the interpretations, particularly concerning the nature of 'j' and the context of the expression.

e/c^2 * j * PV/nR
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
that's not a formula, it's an expression. Where's the equals sign?
 
It looks almost like some attempt at relativised thermodynamics, but, as Pythagorean stated, it's not even a formula.
 
It looks like a gas law to me. But is the j imaginary, or..?
 
I read it as : MIT

M= \frac e {c^2}

i=j (to a EE)

T = \frac {PV} {n R}

Same here, but I didn't bother replying.

Its on T's and sweat shirts from the 'tute.

surely, he must; thus past tense.
