The Ponything vector · 5:32pm Jul 22nd, 2014
The Ponything vector—something I mentioned in the latest chapter of KAMI—is a pun on the Poynting vector (yes that is a thing).
The Poynting vector represents the directional energy flux density (the rate of energy transfer per unit area, in units of watts per square metre (W·m^−2)) of an electromagnetic field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting_vector).
It was during this years last semester, during the course "Algemene Natuurkunde II" (general natural science II) that a friend of mine and I were going through some slides our professor had posted online. We did this because our professor—who was a very nice guy—was the most boring teacher in history. He had the ability to make physics boring. PHYSICS, one of the most awesome things in existence!
Anyways, we were going through the slides and we had both made some horrible puns on the topic we were going through. Most I don't remember, but suddenly it stood there. In capitals and bold THE POYNTING VECTOR. My friend was just looking at it and made some notas on the thing but I just looked at it and chuckled.
My friend just looked at me. "What?"
"Oh nothing," I replied.
We then read the definition of the Poynting vector and the season finale was still fresh in my mind. I pointed at it and smiled. "From now on, this shall be called the Ponything vector. Which is the amount of friendship transmitted through a rainbow per unit time per unit area.
He then looked at me and bonked his head on the table in frustration because I am known to make the most horrible puns in recorded history. Some of my friends also describe me as pinkamina, but I'm not so sure about that .
Anyways, I just thought it would be funny to know.
That friend of me and I would also like to start a series in which we explain physics and mathematics with ponies.
It shall be called
Science with Ponies
Because buck genderrules
That's all for now.
See you later,
