Phew! What a relief! Well that's good to hear, 'cause I'm neither male NOR teenager. (Nudge, nudge, noodgie... careful you don't wake up savouring a collection of tasty feet. :-)

Try this. Here's another calculated postulate that has been previously reviewed by the fevered wits of Rinky-dinkdom:

Well, perhaps there is a more immediate application of Time and Effort with regard to Work and infinite potential. Consider the following:

Postulate:

/ / / / / / / / / / Effort × Time = Constant.

Corollary:
/ / / / / / / / / / As Time goes to zero, Effort goes to infinity.

Proof:
/ / / / / / / / / / Self-evident to students, or to anyone pulling yet another all-nighter at the office (heh).


(Too bad we can't get integrals and limits to show up on the forum....)
