A new mathematical symbol

[Winot]

You made a career out of it? Impressive.

It doesn’t pay much but the hours are good.

Quantum mechanics is already described by mathematics. I did a course in that too, and I was even worse at it than I was at group theory.

We have +-×÷=, as well as many other mathematical symbols and the like. But really +-×÷= are the bones of all maths. What if there was something else that we hadn't discovered yet? Is this a possibility? I favour the idea of a quantum symbol. I'll call it Q, it means yes and no at the same time. Equals but does not equal, positive and negative. I'm pretty sure it will be in the new equation that solves where all the dark matter and energy is. Anyone wanna run the numbers?

Interesting idea qtπ

Indeed - bluescreen mentioned qubits - they're apparently yes and no at the same time. Whatever the fuck that means.

sexist much?

How's that then?

Do I need to spell it out?

Yes, please do.

You just copy-pasted something I posted. I asked you to explain how it was sexist, given the context.

Perhaps you can explain what you meant by it, if not its usual meaning.

It was a wordplay on a mathematical symbol that the poster hadn't included in his original post.

Now either stop dancing around and explain yourself or shut up, really.

E2A I will gladly stand corrected.

Corrected?

OK. It was the wordplay I was saying was sexist. Is it not sexist?

Euler's identity is my favourite equation:



It's got all the important stuff.

I already asked you to explain how, but I'm already a bit weary of this conversation.

I mean, wtf? In what world is qt pi not sexsist?

 

[two sheds]

Yes, please do.

say it out loud

Maybe if it was aimed at a woman, in a condescending way, you'd have the point you're desperately struggling for.

In a reply to a poster who has always identified as a male as far as I've known him here, on a maths thread and in agreement with him, I think I'm safe.

Fuck off.

Is that as far as you're prepared to go in your defence?

Ta will try to get my head round that. Love it that 'e^^x' is the number that grows at a rate equal to itself.

Fair enough. I had no idea of the gender of the poster you were addressing. But it's OK if you're being dismissive of females when you're addressing a male, so you're good.

So you assumed their gender?

Nice one.

I haven't a clue.

I also like the remainder theorem - one of the first things that really endeared me to maths. I used to be able to prove it, I will go off and see whether I still can.

It's really not a big deal. If you have time to worry about this you have a good life.

Or are a white man.
