neo33 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 1. Newton's Method: Let the lion catch you. For every action there is equal and opposite reaction. Implies you caught lion. 2. Einstein's Method: Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion. Due to higher relative velocity, the lion will also run faster and will get tired soon. Now you can trap it easily. 3. Schrodinger's Method: At any given moment, there is a positive probability that lion is in the cage. So set the trap, sit down and wait. 4. Inverse Transformation Method: We place a spherical cage in the forest and enter it. Perform an inverse transformation with respect to lion. Lion is in, and we are out. 5. Thermodynamic Procedure: We construct a semi-permeable membrane which allows everything to pass except lions. Then sweep the entire forest with it. 6. Integratal-Differential Method: Integrate the forest over the entire area. The lion is somewhere in the result. So differentiate the result PARTIALLY w.r.t lion to trace out the lion.

thebes Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 You're obviously far too intelligent to be allowed near regular schmoes like us. Needed to go back to college just to read the post. Very good Neo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 The actual evidence shows an abundance of well fed lions in Africa and an otherwise unexplained absence of mathematical physicists in the same area. I conclude the techniques have been attempted and do not work. Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Thank's for sharing that Neo. Either you're very bright, or you don't have kids! It's highly improbable that both realities can exist in the same space/time continuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meuge Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Molecular Biology Method: Why have to catch a lion all the time? Isolate the gene of interest from a single caught lion, clone it into a bacterial vector, then use a retroviral package to tranfer the gene into a yeast strain which is perfectly capable of producing any required gene product. If this method does not work get rid of the bacterial vector backbone and use DNA injection to create a transgenic mouse which can have any single characteristic from a lion that you're interested in. ...Yeah I know... the comments that I'll get for this...

Mark Hardy Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Don't forget Heisenberg's method... you may have caught the lion already, then again you may not have. You know how fast the lion's going but you don't know where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagne taste beer budget Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 What if the lions WANTS to be caught? Then are you really catching it, or simply feeding into his greater plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Garrison Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Neo - "2. Einstein's Method: Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion. Due to higher relative velocity, the lion will also run faster and will get tired soon. Now you can trap it easily." Uh, sorry, but that's a postulate using special relativity. Einstein later revised that theory into general relativity. Under general relativity, what you would want to do is step into the cage, and begin spinning rapidly. Very rapidly. Due to frame dragging, the local space/time substrate will begin rotating. The lion will become dizzy. Additionally, as your angular momentum increases, so too will your mass, thus bending space toward the cage. The dizzy lion, wandering randomly, will be influenced by the attractor and converge upon the cage. The trick here is to detect the moment that the lion crosses the threshold of the cage boundry, so that you can then perform the inverse tranform you referenced in your post.
