Quick House question, for those who watched this last one...

Does anyone remember what equations House was scribling, in the scene where he's trying to diagnose the universe on a glass wall? I recall glimpsing Q's, S's and V's, so I'm thinking they're regarding thermodynamics. This would please me.

Yes, yes. I'm sure there were other interesting mysteries to be found in the episode. But we all have to fixate on *something*.

Here's an 8mb clip of that scene. (http://profnano.org/andy/misc/House_board.wmv) Sorry if it's a bit squished.

:D <-- Smilie as promised!

Yay, thanks!

Hmm. The symbols continue to make me have flashbacks to Physical Chem, but in the end I have to agree with [livejournal.com profile] baked_goldfish that it's math or logic. (There isn't much difference, after all, and I have an easier time seeing House do Logic than Math. Semantics, I guess.)

Although I still think incorrect thermodynamic equations would have won. So tell us, House, what's the diagnosis for negative entropy?

Doctors have to take thermodynamics, after all.
