Im getting my hair cut on Friday. Short. Much shorter than any of my Rochester friends have seen. Because of this, I have a hypothesis. I believe that a decrease in the amount of hair around my head while running will increase ventilation, and thereby decrease perspiration and increase time to exhaustion. I believe that I should increase my strength and endurance by 35%, according to my calculations. However, there is also a counter-effect that will be in play. Due to the Samson effect, I will decrease in physical strength, and may be too weak to continue working for as long or as hard as before (due to the fact that I draw my immense physical power from my hair). I believe that this will result in a decrease in working capacity down to about 74% of my otherwise highest attainable ability. Therefore, if next week I see a 0% increase in my physical ability (135% * 74% = 100%, my pre-haircut working capacity), it will prove my hypothesis, confirming my understanding of muscular mechanics. I believe that these results will be publishable.
