MIT (1024): The Power of 2

Is MIT really a power of 2?
This is what puzzled me two days ago as I thought hard about it, after reading it from Sam’s blog. Although I was quick to recognize that it is really, but as a mathematician and a scientist, I need not believe things simply because somebody else said it no matter how noble or reputable the person is. (Remember what happened during Galileo days when he said the earth was flat and people believed him.)
So I took it upon myself to prove that MIT is really a power of 2.
After 2 days, I was able to do it.
And just 2 hours ago I started typing it.
In the next 2 minutes, I would be 2ru with it and post it just 2 seconds to my alarm clock that is set to ring at 2.
(I’m beginning to write like Jess Kim.)



Proof 1: The “Comparison” proof
Let the word
MASSACHUSETTS which is 13 Letters = x;
INSTITUTE which is 9 Letters = y;
TECHNOLOGY which is 10 Letters = z

But MIT stands for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
M is the 13th letter of the alphabet
I is the 9th letter of the alphabet, while
T is the 20th letter of the alphabet.

The fact that Massachusetts Institute of Technology stands for MIT means
x * y * z = MIT
i.e.
(13letters) * (9 letters) * (10 letters) = 13th * 9th * 20th

Introducing P as the power to be determined,
(13letters) * (9 letters) * (10 letters)* P = 13th * 9th * 20th

Which means:(13*9*10)letters *P = (13*9*20)th

P = 13*9*20(th)/13*9*10(letters)

P = 2 (th/letters)

Hence, MIT is the Power of 2. -where th/letters is a constant or an SI unit to be named after..who?? no not Omorx. (It can’t be me). Sam of-course. It’s been his dream. His ultimate life goal.“My ultimate life goal is to have an SI unit of measurement named after me.” That’s his words pulled out from his blog.


Proof 2: Add first proof
The word
MASSACHUSETTS has 13 Letters. So M = 13;
INSTITUTE has 9 Letters so I = 9; and
TECHNOLOGY has10 Letters, so T = 10

If MIT = MvI*T13v9*T= 22 * T= 22*10
If MIT should be a power of 2 and 1024 is a power of 2,
Then MIT should be = 1024 in someway which we should determine.
So,
22*10 = 10*2422*10(vP) = 10*24 (where P is the Power to be determine)
22vP = 10*2410
22vP = 24
P = 24 – 22= 2
Hence, MIT is the Power of 2

Assumptions:
1.The operator v is +ve sign
2. 1024 agrees to be permuted only as 10*24 and not 10*2*4 for example.


Proof 3: Subtract first proof

The wordMASSACHUSETTS has 13 Letters. So M = 13;
INSTITUTE has 9 Letters so I = 9;
TECHNOLOGY has10 Letters, so T = 10

If MIT = M^I*T13^9*T= 4 * T= 22*10
If MIT should be a power of 2 and 1024 is a power of 2,
Then MIT should be = 1024 in someway which we should determine.
So,
4*10 = 10*24
4*10*P = 10*24 (where P is the Power to be determine)

P = (10*2*4*)/(4*10)

P = 2 (since 10 up-numerator, cancels 10 down -denorminator, and 4 up also cancels 4 down)

This is if we assume that 1024 is permuted only as 10*2*4
If we decide to permute 1024 as 10*24,Then 4*10*p = 10*24
i.e.P = 10 * 244*10
P = 6
And since MIT is 3 letters,
6/3 = 2
So,
MIT is a power of 2 in both instances
Assumption:1.The operator ^ is -ve2. 1024 agrees to be permuted only as both 10*24 and 10*2*4 only.


Proof No 4: Logical Proof
3 proofs above have shown that MIT is the power of 2. Since MIT is 3 letters making 3 words of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and 3 proofs show that MIT is a power of 2, then MIT is really a power of 2.

Fall 2007 Salah Break

I've deceided to blog today despite that I havn't yet got a full doze of sleep. As you know already, this blog will mostly contain my activities. Yesterday was salah night party here at AUN. That's why it's easy to tell why I am behaving like a drunkard. Yeah, I am really. I walk as if I'm gonna fall and I write as if I am in primary one. As thursday and friday were class free day, lots of people travelled. So that's one reason why it wasn't a very great party. The turn out wasn't very great as compared to previous parties. However, it was just fun all through. The music was more of the "gbedu' and students really liked it and danced in the "gbedu" way. Then comes "ko ko bi lo" of Lagbaja.


Beside the friday party, I've enjoeyd the salah break in a very unique way: cycling. I've not yet got a bycicle here in Yola. But I borrowed the Samuel's (5 parkistanis students who are of the same family). It really was a muscle stretcher as observed after cycling for about 30 minutes, visiting friends for the salah celebratioin, going to joing Boy's Brigade among others. I probably had not mentioned on this blog thtat I like matching and playing band. I had always wanted to join the Boy's Brigade but dad never like things like this, you know. This is one reason I started fighting for my freeedom since I was 19 and today I'm a frree man. At 8pm today, I would be in the Media club meeting. In less than two hours from now, I would be in the Washington Hall of the Multi Purpose Building for a lecture on HIV and AIDs to be delivered by one Micheal Obiefuna, a guest from University of Maryland. Only a prophet can tell if I can wait till the end of this lecture. Whao, I have another club meeting at 8; Media club.

Currently, I work (full time or part time? don't ask me) in the Printing and Photocopy shop, attending to fellow students for their printing and photocopy needs. It was set up of recent and is a kind of extension from the library. Never mind me if I'm not giving every details in this blog. Remember, I did mention that I'm gonna make my posts on this blog brief. Again, writters often leave certain things out just for readers to infer for themselves. So, since bloggers are also writters, we aren't left out. Be rest assured that what you infer isn't wrong, although isn't absolutely correct either.


Happy Salah to to you.
