This is flat wrong. Pressure is measured in pounds per square inch. Are you suggesting weight and area are the same thing?
- canhascodez 8y agoReading the parent's comment history, I would characterize them as a physics crank.
- expected_line 8y agoFirst i thought to "say something about 'energy, maybe osscilating -and as well, there are some 'conditions' of energy', '...a perspective, to see energy as a wave with a known length , which shortend 'by time'" -but now i feel to tell you 'to see science as the mustard to a sausage in terms of change' ^^
- canhascodez 8y agoIt's certainly easier to be patronizing when you are being obscure, but if you suggest that my perspective is flawed without explanation, I really have no alternative but to dismiss that opinion.
- expected_line 8y agoTryed to answer your patronizing problem: > hint://deviantart.com/conversation-culture/gallery/ the comic-strips are 'named' 1...2...3 - hope that will help Maybe... i am drunken enough ('Frühschoppen') to expand my forgone lines with: "To see energy as a wave with a fixed start- and endpoint, 'shorten by time'" (-: Edited: i thought my original posting was 'too offensive, and rejecting' in terms of HN-Guidelines.
- Reinisch 8y agoI’m not the parent commenter, but I think I can help clear up this confusion. Seems like you may have missed: > Or at least half a proportionality. I think their idea is that in the proportion A = B, where A = w/x and B = y/z, A and B must be “of the same type.” Applied to your example, I think PC might say that in a proportionality of pressures, A and B must be of the same type—-it is not the case that w and x must be of the same type.
