Tinky, Pinky, Chintoo, Mintoo and Einstein

Can you prove Einstein's mass-energy equivalence wrong ? Here's a fictional account of how a class of eight year olds achieve this feat. 

Einstein writes on the board and reads aloud : E = mc²

Tinky  : " Sir, There is a mistake”

Einstein (Impressed) : “Is it so ? This is really exciting. Let us hear Tinky's view”

Tinky : “m and c are alphabets. You cannot multiply them. You can multiply only numbers.”

Pinky (shyly raises her hand) : “Uncle, one more mistake”

Tinky (haughtily) : “Not Uncle, stupid. Call him Sir”

Pinky is quiet, her eyes fill up and lips start trembling.

Einstein (hurriedly) : "You can call me Uncle. No problem. Tell me Pinky"

Pinky : "That is not a square. It is 2. Square is like this" (Draws a square on the board)

Tinky (not to be outdone) : "The 2 is written so high. Ma'am says we should write on the same line"

Einstein (smiling) : “Both of you are right. Let me explain. The letters are symbolic. m and c stand for certain values. m is for mass and c is for speed of light. Now let me get rid of the square and put it another way. So we can write E = mcc where E for energy, m for mass and s for speed of light”

Pinky(shakes her head) : “C for CAT. S for speed”

Einstein (smiling) : "Excellent , Pinky. Let me rewrite the equation. E = mss"

Chintoo (sneers) : "First he said E = mc2, now he says E = mss. He doesn't know anything"

Tinky and Pinky unite to defend Uncle Einstein and stare Chintoo down. Chintoo (mutters) : "I hate girls"

Tinky slaps Chintoo. Chintoo pulls Tinky's hair. Pinky looks appealingly at Mintoo who promptly starts hitting Chintoo. A few other boys join the fight while rest of the boys cheer. Meanwhile Tinky and Pinky sit serenely in their seats and write “E=mss” in their notebooks. Then they look at each other's notebook and write “very good”.

Einstein tries to control the boys in vain, wipes his forehead in despair and gets a brainwave. "No more equations. Let me tell you about ALIENS"

Class : "ALIENS ????"

The class quietens down immediately. All children are back to their seats, faces shining,  all eyes  and ears for Uncle Einstein. The teacher and students spend a blissful hour discussing aliens.

Blogger's note : You can logically prove anything and anyone wrong if you are childish enough. 

Kerala Voters Decoded!

•       We don’t like politicians smarter than us, just as we don’t like actors looking better than us.
•       We don’t trust politicians who act like they are better than us. We don’t understand this. When all are fundamentally equal, how can one person have more honesty? How can one person have more integrity? He may be a fascist. We are not Stalinists. Are you a capitalist? 
•    We don’t want politicians to govern us. We prefer them to stay within their limits and entertain us.
•       We don’t want politicians to develop us. We will develop ourselves. They can develop themselves. As long as they don’t show off, we don’t mind.
•    Some states may give all seats so that they get a PM. We don’t do that kind of politics. If there is a chance of a Malayali becoming even a minister, we will defeat him in election.
•    We believe in the importance of opposition in a vibrant democracy. We are committed to strengthening the opposition in every national election. Sometimes we miscalculate. Sometimes our MPs betray us and join the ruling coalition. It is not our fault.
