"Without math, physics is meaningless tinkering." I will tell the bees not to bother with a hive this year or maybe I should enroll in one of their fine math institutions.Which do you suggest Juan?

I suggest that bees and hives have nothing to do with math or physics. Through natural selection and many millions of years bees have evolved to a point where they build hives and make honey among other things. In less than a hundred years, with the use of math and physics, man has gone from the horseless carriage to putting a space craft on Mars. Without math and physics it couldn't have been done.

Would you like to take a very small physics exam?

You will be marked 0 or 1. You have two minutes to answer the question.
What is time?

Time is a measure of duration. We measure time in very large units "eons" as well as very small units "nano seconds", and everything in between.

Yep, and gets it wrong right at the beginning when it says, "[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]The units of Energy per Unit Charge are Volts, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]V[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica]."[/FONT] and goes downhill into incoherence from there. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica]
[/FONT]

Then what is it?

Voltage is electric potential energy per unit charge, measured in joules per coulomb ( = volts).

Not saying I agree with the graphs and methods put forward by DB but on this one I don't see your argument.
