Damn that is too funny.

Yorda---please don't link to this crap in a science forum.

Thank you.

F=ma seems to be the most useful one for me at the moment.

P = W / t.

^^^ now that is a very powerful equation right there.

lol.

Yarda's infinitiy = phi equation would be the winner, if it were actually an equation! However, I think there is are only a couple of important equations and they are:

1+0=1 and 1+1=2

...the entire remainder are just derivatives...lol

This is not the Schrödinger equation, it's the Dirac equation

$\left( \beta m + \sum_{i=1}^3 \alpha_i p_i \right) \psi\left( x \right) = i \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t}$

The Schrödinger equation:

$\left(- \frac{1}{2m} \nabla^2 + V(x) \right) \psi = i \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial t}$

$\left(\hbar = c =1 \right)$

oops!

I made this thread yonks and yonks ago. Buti still remember the equations was a copy and paste job from a computer file i had, and i now realize it was the wrong equation.

Funnily enough, with me not checking it twice, no one else but you had noticed the discrepency.

You really do hate draqon do you?

=======================

Anyways, on topic:

I like this one, E=mc^2, arguably one of the most powerful equations in the known universe.

That, and e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0. One of the most elegant proofs in mathematics.

in physics, the work-energy theorem, first law of thermodynamics, and Bernoulli's equation.

most important equation overall, Euler's formula mentioned above.

oh, and newtons laws of course.
