[edit] Mass of Lightning

Delete: Hoax and/or nonsense as pointed out in Talk:Mass of Lightning -- JimR 05:15, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Units in the equations are not cited. A method of attempting to find if an equation is true or not is to calculate the units. From what I can see, the units appear to be kilogram metres to the power of 4. Sounding like a hoax? Deskana 08:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is unverifiable. JCA vol. 9, pp. 77-104 (2002); I found:
  1. Journal of Contemporary Art
  2. Journal of Contemporary Asia
  3. Journal of Clinical Anesthesia

None of which have anything to do with lightening or the correct field of science. - Mgm|(talk) 10:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as per above and the talk page. Also, lightning seems to be a very odd phenomenon to be related to a universal constant. The form of the equation seems quite odd: I don't think that anybody would use P2(x2) in that context. They would expand the polynomial. It strikes me as an attempt to make the equation look more complicated than it is. Finally, fundamental constants are quite rare, and a new one would certainly get a lot of attention.

  • Delete as per nom and the talk page. Jasmol 21:25, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, and the simple fact that alleged mass is a distance measurement. Das Nerd 21:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
