Dimensionless Science Challenge
– Unlock the Genius –
We are going to learn the exact values for 4 key scientific constants:
MAGNETIC (PARTICLES)
ELECTRIC (WAVES)
The total energy of an object, inc. weight, kinetic, and thermal energy.
Slows down and limits the speed of a particle moving in space.
Speed of an Electromagnetic wave moving through the vacuum
Absorbs the energy of an electron or EM wave as it moves through space
Once you’re done, move on to the next step…
We can understand these constants easily by using a metaphor
IMAGINE
Can you remember what is like to swim underwater?
MAGNETIC
M = Mass – Body of the swimmer
µ0 = The body slows down over time
The larger the Mass, the more Energy needed to move
ELECTRIC
c = Light = MAX speed of swimmer
ε0 = the viscosity of the water
The fastest speed the swimmer can travel due to the density of the water.
Once this is clear in your mind its time to move on…
Now that we have found values, for these scientific constants we are going to perform our first scientific calculation.
Armed with this knowledge its time to take our 1st steps into science.
In a few moments time you will know how great scientists like Albert Einstein, and James Clerk Maxwell calculated the fixed speed of light.
The Speed of Light (c) is central to Einstein’s Theory of relativity
Maxwell discovered that all electromagnetic waves expand at the speed of light (c).
Follow these 3 step to solve each equation
Let’s examine this equation from another perspective
Division
Let’s put this relationship into a circle
Now that you have solved the equation that established the speed of light, you might feel the little Einstein awakening inside you.
But hold on what happened to Mass?
Well there is more to the story, which is what we will look in next.
Your doing really well. Keep going!
Now that we have the exact values, its time to put them to the test
Follow these 3 step to solve each equation
Try this simple equation
Try this simple equation
Try this simple equation
Try this simple equation
We are going to find the dimensionless values for mass (m) and energy (E).
Now let’s see how we might solve this equation.
Now that you have solved the ‘mass energy equivalence’ equation, you might feel the little Einstein awakening inside you.
If so, are you up for a more challenging equation?.
Still good? Then its time to go deeper into science…
The values we have defined are not yet complete.
The next step is to add the ‘geometric constant’ pi (π) into the equation.
Adding π to the constants
Click on the cards to see which constants have pi in them.
MAGNETIC
ELECTRIC
So far so good. Next up is some simple math…
We are now at the last step that will define the exact values for our constants.
But before we do we need to understand what fractions are.
Whole numbers and fractions
Two of our constants are whole numbers, and two are made up of a Fraction. Can you guess which ones?
Click on the cards, starting from the left to reveal the final values for our constants.

ELECTRIC
Impressive stuff. Next up, everyone’s favorite; Mathematics
We are going to discover the value for another important scientific constant.
Solve for Z0 and become as intelligent as a NASA scientist or a telecommunications engineer
NASA Scientists use Z0 for efficient deep space communications
Telecommunications experts use Z0 as a foundation for tuning transmitters.
Now solve these equations to find the exact value for Z0
Congratulations you now know the Value for 7 scientific constants.
Next let’s look at another way Z0 can be found.
Before we move on let’s break down the math.
The value for ε0 is already a fraction.
Mass over ε0 cancels out the ones.
ε0 with mass becomes 6²π or 36π
Let’s put what we have learnt into an order
This help us understand and remember
Place your µ0 card on the left and your m/ε0 card on the right.
What card goes in the middle that will value multiply µ0 to make it m/ε0?

Take a moment to play with the cards, until you fully understand the relatiopnship of these key scientific constants.
Once you are clear then move onto the next step
Still good? Then its time to go deeper into science…
Now that we have the exact values, its time to put them into a framework of geometry.
Geometry expands from a dot (0D) into higher dimensional space.
GEOMETRIC CONSTANTS
Each constant can be represented as an aspect of a sphere.
