FORMULA DISCOVERY

My strategy for discovering curious formulas in math and physics and chemistry...is to scan known equations and look for a right hand or left hand side of an equation (say the ideal gas law)...then identify the dimensions of that particular half of an equation, and set that half of the equation (say PV) to some seemingly unrelated half equation in some other, unrelated area of science that has coincidentally the same dimensions in its respective half...and just keep the dimensions consistent as you rearrange the equation in to some form that is curious, or profound, and that has never been seen before. I believe right now (if I had some space) I could go right in to Feynman's Lectures on Physics and start straight away coming up with new physical identities using this strategy....and sometimes in this way you discover important things like the matter wave-light wave hypothesis etc.
