The Hypothesis of Sport-dynamics

The Hypothesis of Sport-dynamics

Found on the basis that life is a zero-sum game, the hypothesis of sport-dyanmics states: Your favorite sport team(s) wins, the other favorite sport team(s) may lose, under the following conditions:

1. These sport teams have to be the absolute favorite teams. It is only allowed to pick one team from each sport to be the favorite team.

2. The choices of favorite teams cannot be based on the records of the teams.

3. Changing favorite teams is permissible only given that a legitimate reason is provided. For example, you have moved to a different city and settled in the area for more than 10 years. You are allowed to switch your favorite team.

Case Support:

Case Study No. 1: Cal football team vs. Cal basketball team.

Back between 1998-2002, Cal football program stink so bad that the team had the worst record of 1 and 11 while Cal basketball was making to the NCAA tournaments. Now, Cal football team was ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation whereas the basketball team could not even make it to the NIT.

Mathematic Support:

1. Law of Energy Conservation
2. Bernoulli's equation
3. Thermodynamic Second Law

Assumptions:

1. Victory (V) is a positive energy and loss (L) is a negative energy.

2. The very original gross energy level is 0.

Calculations:

E = 0 at time, t=0

E = V + L + f, where f is miscellaneous energy such as your most dislike teams lose or your favorite players win an award, and at time, t > 0.

V+L+f = E = 0 and let's say f can be neglected since V >> L, therefore,

V+L = 0, and V = -L
