@lporiginalg It's not all that different here, either, we just aren't so mean about it...

@LightTemple @GadSaad Law, order, a d justice require violence to impose. How are you going to lock someone up in a cave who does not want to go? This is why people say women don't understand the world.

@C_McDevitt @Timcast @DoctorTurtleboy Omg, do you seriously not see the reverse psychology here? /whoosh

1. It Doesn't Change How Math Works

A new proof for a theorem that has already been proven hundreds of times (including by Leonardo da Vinci and U.S. President James Garfield) is a novelty, not a revolution. We already knew the Pythagorean theorem was true; having another way to show it doesn't change physics, engineering, or how we calculate distances.

2. The "Circular Reasoning" Barrier was Already Broken

The biggest claim—that a trigonometric proof was considered "impossible"—is a bit of a mathematical myth. While some textbooks said it couldn't be done, Elisha Loomis (who collected 371 proofs in the 1920s) and mathematician Jason Zimba (in 2009) had already published trigonometric proofs. Johnson and Jackson found a new way to do it, but they weren't the first to break that "impossible" barrier.

3. It's Highly Impractical

The proof uses complex concepts like infinite geometric series and the Law of Sines to arrive at a result that can be proven in three seconds by drawing a few squares on a piece of paper. In terms of utility, it’s like using a supercomputer to solve \(2 + 2\)—it’s a cool display of power, but the simpler method is still better for everyday use.

4. It’s More "Viral" Than "Vital"

Critics might argue the story gained massive traction because of the human-interest element: two young Black women from a high school in New Orleans outperforming expectations. In the world of academic journals, if an established professor had published a 10th way to prove an old theorem using Law of Sines, it likely wouldn't have made it past a niche footnote.

@LizzieMarbach Might be true, generally speaking, not sure, been married many years to a woman who plays video games with me.

@Pablo01618 @MercuriusFilius It must suck being as dumb as you. Even with an AI laying it out for you, still you refuse the truth. You are the reason these questions exist. To weed you out.

@grok explains this very well. Now everyone can stop being stupid.

@Pablo01618 @MercuriusFilius https://t.co/15S5XkjlIg

Grok can explain it since I don't have the patience.

[Ultra @UltraSWG]

@Pablo01618 @MercuriusFilius That's not how trades work, dude. Buying the same stock again at a higher price does not wipe out your previously realized gains. It's two trades, each flip earned 300. This is not hard.

@linda_lach35367 @Mlowry77 @elonmusk Wait, you think German labor is cheaper than American? Seriously? He builds them in Germany to serve the European market, not to save money on foreign labor to then sell back to Americans like other "American" auto makers do.

@CatWomaniya Mere suspicion? And? So what? She could have been caught red handed and it would not make this crime any less heinous.

[Ultra @UltraSWG]

@LosPollosTV I've seen plenty of this grab ass behavior in the military. It's dudes being stupid and trying to get embarrassing pictures of their friends. I didn't think it was funny when I was in, but it was very prevalent and only exploded when digital cameras became commonplace.

@JamesReinwald @TemooTitan It's like saying you don't want to go on job interviews. You just want someone to drop your dream job with dream pay in your lap. Ok. Sure. It's nice to want things. And?

[Ultra @UltraSWG]

@nickimoraa You reported the crime of breaking and entering (I assume you had evidence , or how would you even know it happened while you slept?) and the police did nothing at all? Laughed it off? Yeah, I'm going to take things that never happened for 500.

@ITzCharl13 @emkenobi Again, just Google it. Not hard. 1-10 Looks Scale. But you won't. Cause then you'll see you're wrong and your ego can't handle that. 🤷‍♀️

[Ultra @UltraSWG]

@ITzCharl13 @emkenobi You know you can just Google "1-10 Looks Scale" and stop being stupid, right?

[Ultra @UltraSWG]

@ITzCharl13 @emkenobi You deflecting this hard? That scale is found everywhere, AI didn't invent it. Cope harder.
