Bully Mnemonic Extension

The Bully Mnemonic Extension is a technique for remembering the exact number of meters that light travels in one second, and the approximate range of gravitational accelerations that occur on the surface of the Earth due to Newton's law of universal gravitation. Using the Bully Mnemonic and Bully Mnemonic Extension in conjunction allows one to calculate a significant number of physical quantities, including the exact number of meters in a light year.

The following relationships are encoded in the Bully Mnemonic Extension:

$$Speed\,of\,light\,in\,vacuum={299,792,458\,meters\,per\,second}$$

$${High\,end\,of\,g_{Earth}}={9.8624\,meters\,per\,second^{2}}$$

$${Low\,end\,of\,g_{Earth}}={9.7644\,meters\,per\,second^{2}}$$

The following relationship can be derived using the Bully Mnemonic and Bully Mnemonic Extension in conjunction:

$$1\,light\,year={9,460,528,412,464,108\,meters}$$

Bully Mnemonic Extension Steps

Initial Definitions

Step 1

Complete steps 1 and 2 of the The Bully Mnemonic to form integers a) and b) as shown below:

$${\begin{matrix}{\color {Red}1}&\scriptstyle {\text{2}}&{\color {Red}3}&\scriptstyle {\text{4}}&{\color {Red}5}\end{matrix}}$$

$$a)\,{\color {Red}1}0{\color {Red}33}0$$

$$b)\,{\color {Red}3}0{\color {Red}55}$$

Step 2

The Bully Mnemonic Extension will use two variants of integer a). The first variant will have 33 removed and replaced with 00. The second variant will have 330 removed and replaced with 22:

$$av1)\,{\color {Red}1}0000$$

$$av2)\,{\color {Red}1}0{\color {Red}22}$$

$$b)\,{\color {Red}3}0{\color {Red}55}$$

Speed of Light

Step 3

Multiply integers av2) and b) from Step 2.
