Anyway: A 1 oz. 12g 2 3/4 Dr.Eq. load is 1145 fps. A 1 oz. 20g 2 3/4 Dr.Eq. is 1220 fps because the ejecta is faster through a smaller tube according to that Bernoulli fella
Not Gurnall but still pretty funny. Euler was Bernoulli’s friend. Figured Drew would enjoy the story.
There is a famous legend[65] inspired by Euler's arguments with secular philosophers over religion, which is set during Euler's second stint at the St. Petersburg Academy. The French philosopher Denis Diderot was visiting Russia on Catherine the Great's invitation. However, the Empress was alarmed that the philosopher's arguments for atheism were influencing members of her court, and so Euler was asked to confront the Frenchman. Diderot was informed that a learned mathematician had produced a proof of the existence of God: he agreed to view the proof as it was presented in court. Euler appeared, advanced toward Diderot, and in a tone of perfect conviction announced this non-sequitur: "Sir, a+bn/n=x, hence God exists—reply!" Diderot, to whom (says the story) all mathematics was gibberish, stood dumbstruck as peals of laughter erupted from the court. Embarrassed, he asked to leave Russia, a request that was graciously granted by the Empress. However amusing the anecdote may be, it is apocryphal, given that Diderot himself did research in mathematics.[66] The legend was apparently first told by Dieudonné Thiébault[67] with embellishment by Augustus De Morgan.[68][69]
