I guess I should have been more explicit.. ;)



How does an equation describing the decrease in intensity of a force as a
function of the geometry of three dimensional space (generally applied to
physical forces and point radiation which are variations of the same thing)
relate to the slope of the frequency of matches at various marker lengths?
;P



I guess the connection is not any stranger than using Fibonacci for ideal
bin packing, heredity and population growth in idealized rabbit populations.



I love the math behind theoretical physics and game theory but it generally
leads me to the conclusion that I don't exist as anything other than the
product of someone's deranged imagination. especially on those stormy
nights.



I'm really looking forward to the new 59 dimensional point coordinates with
the new panel from FTDNA. And Einstein was so disturbed by more than 10
dimensions that he fudged his math a bit so it didn't require 23. Good
thing he wasn't a population geneticist.
