Boobs in circular motion: ω

(that one only works for the physics geeks)

Well I am a physics geek so...

That's a lemniscate which only symbolises analytical infinity - the soft infinity that physicists use all the time but pure mathematicians get shirty over. Now if we want to talk real infinities then we have to get Cantorian and bring on the alephs.

Aleph-null is of course the first transfinite number and is the cardinality of both the natural numbers and the integers. Why? Becaus it can be bijected with the set of naturals. This is the first transfinite cardinal. There are others. There are orders of infinity you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion and all that jazz.

There are the compact cardinals, Mahlo cardinals, Ramsey cardinals and (I love this!) the ineffable cardinals.

"The continuum hypothesis states that there are no intermediate cardinal numbers between aleph-null and the cardinality of the continuum (the set of real numbers): that is to say, aleph-one is the cardinality of the set of real numbers. (If Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZFC) is consistent, then neither the continuum hypothesis nor its negation can be proven from ZFC.)"

-Wikipedia

Not yet proven but does it not give me the mathematical horn? Because this is reality. I should have done math and not physics because that is where the wizards live.

NickM, that doesn't answer the question how big an Aleph-bum is. Or indeed what the angular velocity of breasts are.

angular velocity of breasts
Since we're talking physics here, ...

First, assume each breast is hemispherical.

( ancient joke )

Titter ye not!

In my final year at Nottingham University I had to do two 10 credit research modules. The first was on Josphson junctions and the second... Well... I seriously wanted to look at bra design. My (female) lab partner nixed that even though a couple of years later Loughborough University physics department just down the road unveiled their "Loughbra". Basically she thought I would be camcordering her tits jiggling as she run on a treadmill which I would have been but I would have been looking for resonances and such. Really. I mean I had shagged her and that was something of a grim ordeal but had in that sense moved on to pastures new. Trust me. Seriously I was into the physics of it.

And then I thought of using magnetotactic bacteria which opened up many avenues. Not least the idea of using them as an analogue for various solid state systems but that was nixxed by da powers as the Physics Department had no protocols for potential biohazards. So instead I built a magnetometer and investigated radio aurora.

I would have prefered tits but that's life eh?

VFTS, hmmm.

NickM, you clearly made a boob when you pitched this idea and failed to milk it for all it was worth.
