Why you don't fall through the floor (Sonnet) by ?-Dave_Mysterious-?

Schrödinger’s equation: -(ħ²/2M)grad²φ(x,y,z) + Vφ(x,y,z) = Eφ( z,y,z) For a particle in a box: V = 0 if 0 < x,y,x < a = ∞ otherwise Try a solution of the form φ = Nsin(2πlx/a)sin(2πmy/a)sin(2πnz/a) Where N is the normalisation factor. φ must go to zero at x,y,z = a, therefore l,m,n are integers. So, E = -(1/2M)(2πħ/a)²(l² + m² + n²) Now, pressure P = ∂E/∂V And dV = d³a = d(a³) = 3a²da Therefore P = (1/3a²)∂E/∂a This is quantum pressure.

No; sadly Professor ?-Dave_Mysterious-? made the Mathsranker Brownlists for repeatedly refusing to accept The Splendour Of Gold argument for the existence of God, and for twice showing his bum. Once Brownlisted, the renowned mathematician lost all High Trouser privileges, and was only allowed to use the Whitehead Library if he balanced a potato on his head and kept it there for the duration of his stay. It was following one such 'potatoed' library session that ?-Dave_Mysterious-? hit an all time low as his Royal Society funded research took a terrible turn for the brown. Indeed, the Mathsranker Council were forced to banish him completely after he conjectured that the number 6 didn't exist and was purely an illusion, whilst simultaneously claiming (without proof) that he had discovered a new whole number between 5 and 7 called "bum". One hapless young student, after hearing the sound of a wounded animal mewing in Dave's office, foolishly decided to investigate, only to be trapped inside the soiled chamber for several days whilst the mad professor (who had been impersonating a dying otter) forced the poor fellowe to assume the validity of his blasphemous results and derive a new Theory of Arithmetic thereon. When the weeping apprentice did as he was told, and eventually proved the inevitably devastating "6 = bum" Theorem, ?-Dave_Mysterious-? flew into a terrible rage and, after throwing all his toys on the floor, ran across the room and vaulted through a closed window.


No doubt you'll agree that his is a very sorry tale, indeed.

Good day.
