Electrophysical Relativistic Political Science 101

April 20, 2010

Spaketh Professor Ludwig von Drake:

Well because of relativistic effects on time and space, the electric field of a charge moving in a reference frame different than yours becomes a magnetic field in your frame. Since the magnetic field is a vector field, the vectors superpose, thus if you have charges moving in a closed loop you create a north and south poll. If you align current loops the vectors stack further and you have a magnet.

So this is how polls are done. No wonder Obama’s poll numbers are falling into a black hole of relativistic reference frame-up vector…Fuldkommen Gak.

Superpose that.

    Lutefisk be a superposer, all right…

    Magnets are fun, Ludwig, not so much.

      Doesn’t he have a magnetic personality?

      Or was that bipolar?
