G=C*PHI^n

I really don't know what to make of the this physics formula:

G=C*PHI^n

where

G = Gravity

C = Light

Phi = well Phi


I think it looks like B* but I can not say that for certain.

I found this on this website when I was looking around for info on PHI physics:

That's what I thought.

But still, is his equation correct, or is it way off bat here?

a + b^n = x, so God exists.

Correct? It isn't even wrong. It is completely meaningless.

I would edit the phrase to be:

"Correct? It isn't even wrong. "

And then say "Language award: Brevity is the soul of wit catagory"

Lets see, according to the equation, the units of PHI are:

cm^2/n g^-1/n s^-1/n

Based on this rigorous mathematical study, I can say, this makes no sense. It's a good thing they put the PHI to n where n is unstated, otherwise one could easily deduce it's physical nature and see more clearly that this makes no sense.

It lost me at the "!" mark (and no, it wasn't a factorial)..

He's as woo as they get (as Ed so eloquently observed). Dan Winter has a lot of fans in the New Age Community, though, who fawn over everything he says, who are completely bamboozled by his technically sounding gibberish. It's enough to make one puke.
