Written about 1967 – in a strictly humorous vein!

A NEW THEORY FOR NMR

by C. Simons

Most leading modern NMR experts (1) now consider that the previously suggested theory to explain NMR signals is incorrect. In this paper, a new theory based on the author’s experimental observations is put forward.

Theory

NMR signals arise from the presence of the bacteria “golliwog” in the samples under observation. The application of a potential difference of one million volts across the samples will kill off these bacteria leading to cessation of the observed signals.(2) In the absence of a magnetic field, the golliwogs will move in a random direction. However, the application of a magnetic field will cause the golliwogs to move in a more ordered motion resembling that of a table-tennis ball.(3)

It is thus obvious that this ordered motion will give rise to NMR signals.

The positions of these signals can easily be calculated using the results of Fudge.(4) These calculations show that

P = 1/ k v 8.342 (equation 1)

Where P is the position of the signals measured from an unspecified reference, v the root-mean-square velocity of the golliwogs and k the Purim constant.(5)

It is of no importance whatsoever whether measurements are made from an internal or external reference, since in the opinion of the author, bulk susceptibility corrections are a lot of nonsense.

The previously explained NMR properties can be re-explained in terms of this theory as follows:

Chemical Shift

Different chemical groups exert the property of “bacteriological attraction” (6) to different extents. These groups will hence retard the golliwogs to different extents, thus slowing down their velocity. Hence from equation 1, the signal positions of different chemical groups will be different.

Spin-Spin Coupling

This phenomenon cannot be explained on this theory. Hence it doesn’t really exist. It is in fact due to the NMR spectrometer not behaving properly. (7)

Relaxation

The golliwogs which are in a continuous precession sometimes get tired. They hence take time off to relax.(8)

Conclusion

It can thus be seen that this theory has (in the opinion of the author) explained the existence of the NMR phenomena most conclusively.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The author expresses his deep gratitude to the Krazy Foundation who replaced the twelve NMR spectrometers wrecked by him in the course of his experiments

(6) The author regrets that he has mislaid the reference concerning this property, but he assures the readers that it really does exist.
