 		My D- knowledge of physics makes me think the formula is

Force original = Squared root of (mass/radian * whatever the e stands for)

I don't think there was a subscript o or an e but I only halfway paid attention in that class but I do remember quite a bit. I'm still looking for my school notes. They might help out a little.

Edit: I agree with mastergrunt. I think it looks more like Phi than Psi.

 		If it was a Phi, then shouldn't the right two "forks" be connected?

 		I'm fairly certain that in math,lower case e is Euler's number.If it was Psi then the line over it would be the line that denotes a repeating decimal maybe?

 		the equation
although i am just entering into college i have seen this equation before
curiosity in theoretical physics finally pays off
this (if i remember after 3 years) is part of the string theory equation, or something connected to it, used in the expression of a multi-verse
and also connected to the Einstein-Rosen bridge, and quantum gravity, don't take my word as fact, i am looking for my quantum gravity book and time travel in Einsteins universe (j richard gott)

yes i said it, time travel, i have seen this equation somewhere in there

more later

 		Looks more like Psi to me.

Grab a pen and paper and quickly write out this symbol: Ψ

When I did it, it looked pretty close to the symbol in the image.

Also, could the symbol next to the "Psi"-like symbol be a lowercase Omicron?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omicron

Value of Psi = 700
Value of Omicron = 70

Nice find!Intersting if it incorporates into the string theory.

If Psi is 700 then the symbol Psi with a line over it would mean it has been altered by some mathematical function to give it the decimal places. I would like to know what the o stands for. I was never taught any physics equation with an o.

Does a subscript number work just like an exponent? If it does, that would make it a rather large number.

I could also be just a weird F but if it looks like part of the string theory(which I have no clue what that is) then it probably is a symbol and not an F.

 		I really wish I had payed attention to Algebra or Trig classes now.
All I recall is that e has something to do with natural logarithms, and is valued at 2.7 something or other.

And I believe the thing next to/below the Psi is a c, not an o, which if I recall has to do with speed of light.

 		An o in the subscript refers to the initial condition. Meaning, this is the "starting" value. An f in the subscript would indication a final condition.

It's an o with a little lip on it (like a cursive lower case o). I don't remember the name but I remember it being a Greek symbol in my statistics class. It represents a value or a formula or sumthin. Embarassed (Don't flame, my daily math has numbers not squiggles)

I was told to use an i subscript to indicate the initial value. So that means it would be Psi original = Squared root of (mass/radian * e) assuming the Pi Symbol is indicating radians and not the 3.14.

Also, if this is part of the string theory, then does that little line above the e mean that the equation continues past what we are given?

It looks more like a handwritten o that is not exactly connected. It could just be me tho' because I have been having blurry vision all day and can't make out detail that well.

Subscripts o and i, if they are being used in the context we are discussing, are synonymous, o being "original" and i being "initial."

Not sure how the line would effect eccentricity.

I'm probably wrong. I looked up the symbol and I was thinking sigma. σ

Sigma in my stats class meant standard deviation.

Here's a good linky for mathamajigger symbiology.

Yeah,Euler's number is used for logs so maybe the Psi or Phi(whatever it is) is to the 0 log,like log 0 sort of thing?
