What the hell? Is this a British thing, or is this guy just weird?

You know what a toitoile is? Same thing.

I've never heard a British person say tor-toyz before. I think he's the kind of nice aspie that taught himself how to be sociable but never actually talks to people if he can help it.

Xena: Warrior Paradox

This was literally the first time I'd heard it mentioned since 9th grade history class when we studied the ancient Greeks. They didn't even bother with it in math I don't think.

Were those being posted by the person that made them? I forget, but I feel like they were.

That's the second reason I posted it (the first is his pronunciation of tortoise ).

Right? Einstein was a total lazy faggot for being the only one to put this to rest.

Fucking fag think bullshit AMERICA!!!!

I always thought it was mainly a simple, graphic demonstration of math being a conceptual system abstracted from physical reality, not a literal model of reality.

Well the fun thing is that it actually turns out to be right. You can assume time and space are infinitely divisible and still show that motion is possible using infinite sums. Meme, I don't think this has anything to do with Einstein. This was put to rest by Newton. Zircon, of course math is an abstract system used to describe reality. It works pretty well too.

This video does a terrible job explaining this, or why we should care.

It works great. I've met enough people who don't understand that mathematics (or whatever their particular idiom for viewing the world is - religion, one of the sciences, weed, Rage Against the Machine songs, whatever) is a representation of THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF REALITY that don't think it hurts to repeat it whenever possible.

I also missed when this became Portal of Good Job Explaining Things.

Ah, he mentioned that at the very end. My bad.
