It's not MENU = NUME

It's MEDIUS NOMEN (also found in the tags for the video on Youtube)

Medius nomen = middle name

[AndyTheGeeky]

It seems the only middle name they give us is Miles Bennett Dyson, interestingly enough.

[thebruce]

yes, we've been chatting about the names on irc. the list of physics winners with middle names (where available) is

[lergnag]

not another list. Although I prefer this over encryption

One of the equations is for relativistic mass:
m = m0 /sqrt(1 - v2/c2)

Grasping at more straws... The diagram appears to be a "light cone"

The double cone image by her head is actually the null geodesics visualized (the equation is ds^2 = dx^2(sub1) + dx^2(sub2) - c^2dt^2). When the geodesics is null it corresponds to neither space nor time (it's a relativity thing). Massless things fall into a null geodesics realm. I don't know if this is useful at all.

This little guy: E = zc^2 / sqrt( v^2/c^2 -1 ) is simply the equation for the total energy of a particle with a slight substitution so that the denominator does not become an imaginary number... which is actually used specifically for tachyon physics because tachyons have a velocity to speed of light ratio which would make the normal energy of a particle equation go all goofy (because of imaginary numbers). Also it is not "2c^2" as TheBruce points out (sorry man) but instead "zc^2".

Ok I feel like a nerd... I'm going to go read my Chaos book now or something...

yeah no that's fine... it was a toss up between 2 an z after I'd done a bit of googling for equations and found nothing that stood out.
made a bunch of guesses when reading the writing, some right and some wrong (see "MENU = NUME" ) good eye


so it's possible these are all clues intended to narrow down choices to one particular winner's middle name, if not a combination of a number of middle initials.

looking up Ernest Lawrence's profile on wikipedia seems to stand out the most to me, more than the others.

since we're relying on the possible fact that part of the log-in information contains a combination of Nobel Prize Physics' winners' names, I thought I'd throw this out there just as an suggestion:

Ernesto

(I thought this up while looking at Ernest O. Lawrence's name in the list posted above)

[bryanflurry]

Wow, I got a mention, hehe
I think she mentioned uF to clue in the people who still think its really real, and to drive people here who wants to participate.

Keep up the good work with Anna's login I think you guys are getting close, but I won't bother with her's, it seems that shes one of the smartest in the group so i'd assume her's (also dr. frank's) would be the hardest to crack.

I'll try Mike's though, it might be a clue, okay, going to stalker mode now

[Ricas Kibu]

If it's any help, I've managed to find out that

[thebruce]

and how pray tell do you know for a fact that 'anna' is a username?
