My Science Project

Since I am a science student, I am going to do a science project for Creamfilled (That is what we will call this blog for short. It will be the cool, hip name for A Cream-Filled Blog. So you can go to your friends and say, “Hey, have you read Creamfilled today?” And they will reply, “No.” And then you will inform them, “Eh. It was so-so.”).

I was reading about a time-continuous random process in mathematics known as “Wiener Process”. I laughed. It was named after mathematician Norbert Wiener. I laughed again. Then I decided to do a science project.

My hypothesis was this: Similar to how gas in a container will expand and spread out to fill that container, people on an elevator will spread out when given chance to.

Once an elevator is filled to its capacity, it begins its ascent to the selected floors above. Upon arriving at the first selected floor, a given amount of people will get out. After those people have left, the remaining people will adjust their positions to cover more area. Take a look at figure A:


(Figure A)

This elevator is currently full. Now let us assume that that the person in the front right exits at the first floor stopped at. This would leave four people left. If no one moved, this is what the result would look like:


(Figure B)

Figure B shows an inaccurate result which defies The Elevator Theory. Due to a process known as ‘elevator expansion’ the correct result would be this:


(Figure C)

Figure C accurately displays the results of elevator expansion. Next time you are on an elevator, take note of this process. A few things to consider if the process fails:

1. Lovers are an exception to this rule, and in fact display inverse properties. Friends display similar properties, but unlike lovers, usually do not uninterestingly stare at each other making silly faces, occasionally giving one another a little kiss on the lips or forehead, and then continue to creepishly stare at each other.
2. Does the other person have Down syndrome?
3. Possibly the other person is waiting for you to move. Oblige him/her.

Since we are on the subject of elevators, if you live on the 4th floor or lower, use the stairs. The sign stating, “In case of emergency, use stairs” may have you believing that they should not be used in a non-emergency situation. However, they are perfectly reliable whether there is a fire or not, unlike the emergency window on a school bus (The door is much safer. Trust me.). I once lived in a 2 floor house and used the stairs on a regular basis. I began using them at a very early age, and I never sustained any injury from doing such a thing.

By the way, as you may have noticed, in no way at all was any of this scientific. All I did was talk about elevators for several paragraphs.

I drew this:



It’s an otter. I love those things. You should too.

Current Events: I will go to the gym tomorrow. Maybe.

P.S. Here is a real cool demonstration of the Wiener process. Look at for hours, it never fails to amaze me (that's what she said):
