From the equation:

1) K^(a + b + c)V^a V^(a + b) PI = L^a T^b M^c F^(a + b)

we notice that mass M and K are the only quantities with exponent c,
and therefore unless c = 0 (contrary to assumption), we immediately
get:

2) K^a K^b K^c V^a V^a V^b PI = L^a T^b M^c F^a F^b

from which:

3) K = M

by dimensional homogeneity. Since we have not completely restricted
mass to a particular object here, (3) can more usefully be written:

4) K = kM, k = positive constant

Thus, knowledge and mass are dimensionally the same but are not
necessarily identical. In fact, this makes sense if knowledge is
considered intuitively to be "counteracting" entropy, since if
knowledge is nonmaterial and mass is material, then (4) says that the
nonmaterial and material worlds remain proportional roughly speaking.

It is also instructive to notice what happens to (2) when K = M is
substituted for K, in which case readers can check that an identity
occurs with PI dimensionless (having dimension 0).

Finally, since mass and knowledge play similar roles, we may expect:

5) F = G1 K1K2/r^2

where K1 and K2 are knowledge of two objects, G1 is a universal
constant, and r is distance between objects (not 0 of course).

Although knowledge arguably can exert a force by (5), notice carefully
that there is no indication that emotion (such as anger) can do so. In
fact, I regard it as unlikely since emotion of anger type typically
interferes with knowledge in terms of experiment, reason/logic, theory.

Could one of the forces involved by any chance bend space and thereby
yield a "space warp drive"? I don't know. If there is any
possibility of that, my guess is that either a robot without
interference of emotions but with cognition (perhaps a biometallic type
robot called an "android" in science fiction) would have to do it or
else human beings would have to be either educated from early childhood
on emotional control or else perhaps bred for less emotionality. It
probably won't happen until or unless there's experimental evidence as
to what the force if any might be or do.
