    6. USA-2267. Laboratory 12 Soviet Union / Russia8. Project MKUltra9. Project Coast South Africa10. Unit 731 Japan

    Top Mad Scientific Theories1. Doughnut Shaped Universe

    a. The Universe could be smaller in some directions thanothers.

    2. Antimatter Galaxies

    a. If the Big Bang equal amounts of matter and antimatter,then entire antimatter galaxies could exist.

    3. Panspermia Theorya. All life on Earth evolved from an extra-terrestrial seed,

    possibly found from microbes on comets.4. The Ekpyrotic Model

    a. The trigger for the Big Bang was caused when our universecollided with another hidden in a higher dimension.

    5. Many Worlds Theorya. For every possible outcome of every possible contingency,

    a new universe is born.

    6. The Simulation Hypothesisa. Our existence and our minds are a computer simulation

    controlled by future generations of humans.7. The Zoo Hypothesis

    a. To keep our civilizations from harm, extraterrestrialschoose not to reveal themselves to us.

    8. The Quantum Zeno Effect and the End of the Universea. The mere observation of dark energy helps to keep it

    unstable.b. This could cause a quantum energy shift leading to

    Armageddon.

    9. Black Holes Are Gateways to Other Universesa. Black holes act as a tunnel between universes.b. Matter entering them doesnt collapse, but exits at the

    other end/10. The Holographic Principle

    a. Our reality is nothing more than a holographic projectioncreated by the universe itself.

    10 Mathematical Equations That Changed the World1. The Black-Scholes Model

    a. Function: Calculates the price of financial derivativesb. Importance: Helped create trillion dollar derivatives market

    but incorrect use contributed to the current financial crisis2. The Pythagorean Theorema. Function: Working out the lengths of the various sides of a

    triangleb. Importance: Foundation of modern trigonometry used in

    surveying, mapping, and navigation3. The Fourier Transform

    a. Function: Describes patterns in time as a function offrequency

    b. Importance: Used in JPEG compression, signal analysis &discovering the structure of molecules

    4. Fundamental Theorem of Calculusa. Function: Working out instantaneous rates of changeb. Importance: Measurement of solids, curves, and area

    used in medicine, economics, and computer science5. Eulers Polyhedron Formula

    a. Function: Calculating the space of spheresb. Importance: Led to development of topography used in

    3D mapping and by biologists to understand DNA6. Universal Law of Gravitation

    a. Function: Calculates the force of gravity between twoobjects

    b. Importance: Critical to astronomy helped discover Pluto,used in space exploration and putting satellites in orbit

    7. Maxwells Equationsa. Function: Explain the relationships between electric and

    magnetic fieldsb. Importance: Prediction and understanding of

    electromagnetic waves used in radar, TV, and moderncommunications

    8. Second Law of Thermodynamicsa. Function: Explains entropy the dissipation of energy and

    heat over time

    b. Importance: Proved perpetual motion is impossible andhelped prove matter is made up of atoms

    9. The Schrdinger Equationa. Function: Models matter as a wave rather than a particleb. Importance: Revolutionized small-scale physics crucial in

    developing modern computers via semiconductors andtransistors

    10.Theory of Special Relativity E=mc2

    4/4

    a. Function: Shows mass and energy are interchangeable andexplains behavior of objects at very high speeds

    b. Importance: Introduced the idea of time dilation andhelped lead to nuclear weapons
