It is very scientific.
First we start with the premise that:
1 - Time = Money (or Time is Money) and
2 - Knowlege = Power (Knowlege is Power)
Substituting the Newtonian value of Power = Work/Time we have:
Knowlege = Work/Time (This is logically true. We call it experience.)
Substituting the equivalant for Time from equation 1:
Knowlege = Work/Money
And solving for Money:
Money = Work/Knowlege
We see that, regardless of the amount of Work performed, as Knowlege approaches zero, the amount of Money approaches infinity.
