That means ii is real!
Very bad English; it should be: That means ii am real! This just goes to show mathematicians can't do no good English.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Poor grammar yourself. Double negative means they can! Joke's on you!
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

Teacher: David, give me a sentence starting with "I." David: I is... Teacher: No, David. You must always say "I am." David: Oh right. I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.

This must be too far over my head for me to understand. http://functionspace.org/articles/6/Understanding-the-most-beautiful-equation-in-Mathematics[Understanding the most beautiful equation in Mathematics] My head was swimming after reading through the whole article and then it came down to:
Quote:
If we put, x=π , we get: eiπ = −1 as cosπ = −1 and sinπ = 0 or eiπ + 1 = 0
Ahhh, ok... but doesn't all that just mean: -1 + 1 = 0 ??? :wtf:

And the fact that eiπ = -1 seems somehow significant, almost metaphysical... :rolleyes:

Seems like a sort of convergence... like the Ancients wanted us to find it...

I assume you are not familiar with the concept of a deliberate parody used as a mechanism for humour?

Really? You're trying to recover using that? OK. You win.

By that measure e=mc2 comes down to "the bigger something is the more eneregy it has" 'cause c is a constant, so therefore is csquared. So Sally it's just e is proportional to m No biggie
