Jones. You picked up on the 137 contact points of (Crotalus cerastes Particlaes) didn't you? :-)
Particle Wavelength Lambda = hc/E = circumference of "frictionless jar". containing said snake Frequency f = c/lambda = 1.23e20 Hz for electron or positron. Displacement current I = q*f =19.68 amperes q = C*V = (eo*lambda = 2.155e-23 farad) * V = 1.6e-19 coulombs V= (E/0.5*2.155e-23)^1/2 = 8.7e4 Volts But I = V/Zo (Zo = 377 ohms) = 230.7 amperes and 230.7/19.68 = 11.726 = (137.03)^1/2. ??? Fred http://www.ucs.louisiana.edu/~brm2286/locomotn.htm "Sidewinding is used by many snakes crawling on smooth or slippery surfaces, but is best known in the sidewinder rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes) and a few desert vipers of Africa and Asia. Sidewinding is similar to lateral undulation in the pattern of bending, but differs in three critical ways: First, each point along the body is sequentially placed in static (rather than sliding) friction with the substrate. Second, segments of the body are lifted off the ground between the regions in static contact with the ground. Thus, the body sort of rolls along the ground from neck to tail, forming a characteristic track (that is proportional to body length) in sand; after being lifted off the ground and set down again a short distance away, the front part of the body begins a new track while the rear part of the body completes the old track. Third, because of the static contact and lifting of the body, the snake travels roughly diagonally relative to the tracks it forms on the ground. Muscle activity during sidewinding is similar to that in lateral undulation except that some muscles are also active bilaterally in the regions of trunk lifting."
