Enter your thoughts on number 818 here. Please, no spamming, trolling, or watching the parade. I blame the use of non-euclidean geometry. >I blame the pedagogical failure of teaching euclidean geometry in the first place. Down with Euclid! Down with the Bohr model of the atom! Down with Newton's laws! >> one only teach quantum mechanical and einsteinan representations of physics that are uselessly complicated in normal bounds like speed <<.1*c the angles are all wrong! Ia Ia Cthulhu fthagn! We're all looking for an angle. >> What's all this "Down with"? How can you have down with-out Newton? >>>Down with your mother! >>>>Down on your mother! >>>>>Stop that, Dad! Yeah. I don't get it. >A hunch is an intuitive guess (which can be justified by correct math) but also a curvature of the spine (which can be justified with incorrect math) >>Technically, a hunch can be justified by correct math only if it turns out to be correct. Incorrect math, on the other hand, can be used to justify both correct and incorrect hunches. >>/my brain hurst/squeeky kid on the simpsons/
