Time = Money

On my way to work, I thought this was the most stupid thing. How could Time equal Money? For something A to be equal to something B , then that something B must also be equal to the something A. So, put it this way, if you exchanged 24 hours of your life for a million dollars, can you exchange a million dollars back for 24 hours of your life?

No.

So, Time does not equal to Money. And Money does not equal to Time.

End of story.

But wait! I Googled Time = Money and this hilarious "Knowledge, Power, Time, Work and Money Equations" popped up here. Enjoy!

Knowledge is Power
Time is Money
and as every engineer knows, Power is Work over Time.

So, substituting algebraic equations for these time worn bits of wisdom, we get:

K = P (1)
T = M (2)
P = W/T (3)

Now, do a few simple substitutions:

Put W/T in for P in equation (1), which yields:

K = W/T (4)

Put M in for T into equation (4), which yields:

K = W/M (5)

Now we've got something. Expanding back into English, we get:

Knowledge equals Work over Money.

What this MEANS is that:

The More You Know, the More Work You Do, and

The More You Know, the Less Money You Make.

Solving for Money, we get:

M = W/K (6)

Money equals Work Over Knowledge.

From equation (6) we see that Money approaches infinity as Knowledge approaches 0, regardless of the Work done.

What THIS MEANS is:

The More you Make, the Less you Know.

Solving for Work, we get

W = M K (7)

Work equals Money times Knowledge

From equation (7) we see that Work approaches 0 as Knowledge approaches 0.

What THIS MEANS is:

The stupid rich do little or no work.

Working out the socioeconomic implications of this breakthrough is left as an exercise for the reader.
