Geocache Description:

This is a Play Anywhere Wherigo - feel free to play the cartridge, but you have to sign the log to log the find!  Nano, so please bring a pen and use your initials only!



"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

— The Borg, Star Trek: First Contact

A villain will say some variation of "resistance is futile." Often, it will turn out resistance was anything but, but villains do like to have their moments. Other common variations are "it is useless to resist us" and "resistance is useless."

As an electrical engineering geek, resistance is a necessary evil. Without it, what would German physicist Georg Ohm have done with his law?

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance, one arrives at the usual mathematical equation that describes this relationship:

I={\frac {V}{R}}

where I is the current through the conductor in units of amperes, V is the voltage measured across the conductor in units of volts, and R is the resistance of the conductor in units of ohms. More specifically, Ohm's law states that the R in this relation is constant, independent of the current.

Georg Ohm, who, in a treatise published in 1827, described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire. Ohm explained his experimental results by a slightly more complex equation than the modern form above.


Now get out there and find the cache - Resistance is Futile!


The Wherigo cartridge can be found at and downloaded from here: Resistance is Futile

You must download the cartridge to your Garmin compatible device, Smart Phone with compatible application or your computer. The physical cache does not have a writing utensil in it, so please bring your own tool of the trade for the log. Please use stealth at the final location.
