For all you who criticised when I suggested CO2 blocks incoming IR from the sun, NASA agree with me.

Including AGW? :)

I'm actually not very familiar with octonians, but based on my understanding of them, here goes: The complex numbers were used to extend the real numbers so that every polynomial of degree n (highest power) could have exactly n not necessarily unique solutions; so, for example, x^5 = 1 has exactly 5 solutions. Quaternions were a kind of intellectual exercise to extend the complex numbers in a way that preserves certain properties of them - however, they have an interesting feature that given two quaternions A and B, A.B =/= B.A in general. This is called noncommutativity over multiplication. Octonians took it one ridiculous step further, and not only are they not commutative, they're not associative either, which means that (A.B).C =/= A.(B.C), unlike say real numbers where (5.3).4 = 5.(3.4) = 60.

Little bit of advice, give up trying to look clever all the time. I know you want to impress people here, you've already done that. Relax a bit, have a laugh more. Tell some crap jokes. :)

Phh. Anybody can just talk about something they have a clue about. :laugh: It was hardly a rigorous treatment of the nature of octonians.

Trying to be serious here, give it a chance at least. :)
