This weekend I am going to go to Florida to visit my grandparents. It is their 50th anniversary. That is pretty sweet I guess. What I want to talk about however is the fact that my family is coming from all over the country and we will meet up in Florida. It's kind of crazy in my opinion. My mother is flying in from Chicago, my sister is flying in from DC, my cousin is flying in from New York, and I am flying in from Detroit. We are all going to arrive in West Palm Beach within an hour of one another.
A hundred years ago, something like this couldn't even be imagined. Arriving in a single location when people were dispersed all over the country within an hour of each other is ridiculous to say the least. I find it awesome that this is possible these days. I can't wait for the weekend and I think the weather will be a lot better than it is in Ann Arbor.
The second thing I want to talk about is my theory of G. The theory of G stands for gravitational pull. This symbol can be attributed to Sir Isaac Newton. The G stands for 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2 kg^-2, which is a force. This force describes how all things in the universe are gravitating towards another things. G is used on Newton's Law of Universal gravitation. The equation for this is F=G((m1)(m2))/r^2. Pretty much, this equation states that the force between two masses in the universe are attracted to one another based on their masses divided by their distance squared. This whole sum is multiplied by the law of universal gravitation.
What all this is about is the following. Although there is a tiny tiny tiny tiny force that attracts all things in the universe, that means that at all times there is something or better yet someone gravitating towards you. Furthermore, if you extrapolate this force over an infinite amount of this means at some point you will gravitate and bump into all objects in the universe. Lets us now condense the universe for a second and think of this just in terms of planet earth.
If you consider that all things on the planet are being gravitated towards you at this very moment, although at a very small force, in enough time you will have all things on the planet gravitate towards you. Let us now even think about this in smaller terms. Consider you as an individual gravitating towards just people on the planet. Considering the first postulate presented that on an infinite time scale you will gravitate towards all things on the planet, this must include all people on the planet.
I am a guy and don't have a girl right now. Given this analysis, in time, due to the law of universal gravitation, I am bound to meet every single girl on this planet, because they are being gravitated towards me at this very moment, even if the force is very small still. Therefore, within good time I am guaranteed to bump into a girl that happens to be perfect for me. This is a certain thing that can be proven mathematically.
Ahhh, the theory of G. Take to it well.
