Quantum Bogodynamics










Quantum bogodynamics is a Humourous theory arising within Hacker Culture that characterises the universe in terms of sources of fictional fundamental Particle s; '''bogons'''. There are bogon sources (such as Politicians , used-car salesmen, TV Evangelists , and Suits in general), bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and '''bogosity''' Potential fields. Bogon absorption causes human beings to behave mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause both to emit secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics of bogon- Computron interaction are not yet understood.

''Bogosity'' is a humorous term used to describe the degree to which something is bogus. The unit of bogosity is the microlenat, named after Douglas Lenat . (The lenat is considered too large a unit for practical use.)

Quantum bogodynamics is most often invoked to explain the sharp increase in hardware and software failures in the presence of suits; the latter emit bogons, which the former absorb.

The bogon has an Antiparticle , the ''cluon''.

Quantum bogodynamics reflects the emphasis on rationality and distaste for empty form and authority of hacker culture.
