Spider-Man and the Decay Rate Algorithm

In Sony Picture's upcoming film, "The Amazing Spider-Man," you'll find some real and interesting science behind Peter Parker and his webs. University of Minnesota professor Jim Kakalios served as the science consultant on the new film, giving the filmmakers a factual perspective on the physics of wall crawling and the tensile strength of spider's webbing. In addition, Kakalios contributed an equation called the Decay Rate Algorithm, which is at the center of a few major plot points throughout the film.

Here's one thing that puzzles me: equation has summation with index i, but then i is never used in equation.

i want that tie. now!

∅ = decay rate algorithm

[TheNIKNIKvideos]

ø=the decay rate algorithm

[orgelekS]

ironically, there is a chance that if the decay rate algorithm was originally simplified to the gompertz function, that most scientists would recognize, then dr connor's might not have made as many mistakes

I Dont Have A Right Ear D:

[XRourkex]

As soon as the video played for me I thought my earphones broke, luckily I seen some very helpful comments that showed that there is no sound played for the right part of earphones, I thank you all.
