@pickover @rafaela31416 What would Archimedes of Syracuse say if he saw the above work?

@jchirinosrguez 😅: Sometimes non-mathematicians like me need to understand the source of humor to gain a sense of that humor.

@pickover @MagicPi2 Reminds of an earlier tweet: ‘The flirting of the parabolas’ When one parabola slides its focus along the other’s directrix.

@sonukg4india 🤨: √(x²) ≉ x because…

[Neelesh Desai @desaineelesh]

@sonukg4india When θ = 0 is the only time sin(θ) = θ
For θ > 0, sin(θ) < θ.
For θ < 0, sin(θ) > θ.

@sonukg4india ☝️√x = x^½.
√9 = 9^½
= (3^²)^½
= 3^(²*½)
= 3^¹
= +3 (NOT ±3)
✌️x^² = (x)*(x) or (-x)*(-x) i.e. x² has 2 roots: x = ±3
Therefore:
(√9)² = 3²
= (3)*(3) or (-3)*(-3)
= (±3)²
👍√9 = +3 BUT (√9)² = (±3)²

@pickover 💁‍♂️It’s easy to prove mathematically HOW the area of a sphere is the sum of areas of 4 circles of the same radius. 🤷‍♂️However, WHY this is so..no one knows.
🤔Why is a cube’s area exactly equal to the sum of areas of 6 squares of the same side?
🤔Why in a R triangle, c² = a² + b²?

@sonukg4india It’s easy: First define f(x) in your life and then find its first derivative: F(x) = ∫f(x)dx

@Almost_Sure Elf on a shelf, but how about e^x?

@sonukg4india The student, who had just finished reading ‘The Man Who Knew Infinity’, gets excited and adds an exclamation to his answer..

@pickover The first name on the list doesn’t show up until 1098 CE.
Wonder why it took Christians over a millennium after the birth of Christianity to start getting involved in Science and Technology? Why did it take a Galileo so long to follow Archimedes?

@pickover Does life imitate mathematics or mathematics mimics the living?

@pickover The evil fan claims immunity from this erroneous belief: “With my cool breeze and soothing buzz I simply make them feel cozy and hang around in their closed unventilated rooms, I don’t directly kill them..”

@pickover Reminds of David Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics in which a hidden pilot particle (the dog in this case) guiding the quantum wave function (the sheep).

@pickover @gapingvoid One’s creativity, to a large extent, is independent of one’s knowledge and experience.

@pickover 👍 2 + 6 + 6 + (6x4) = 38 Δs.
1) Δs with all 3 vertices touching a side of hexagon: 6/3 = 2
2) Δs with only 1 vertex touching a side of hexagon: = 6
3) Δs with 1 vertex touching the center of hexagon: = 6
4) Small Δs in each Δ from group(3) = 4. (Total: 6 x 4 = 24.

@pickover @speedbumpcomic 🤷‍♂️: “I believe we’ve never met”
👨‍🔬: “I don’t believe we’ve ever met”
💁‍♂️: “I may be mistaken, but you seem vaguely familiar..”
👨‍🔬: “If I am not mistaken, I am your psychiatrist.”

@pickover To a non-mathematician, this sounds something like what Hitler might have uttered on being informed that his underground bunker is about to fall to the Allied troops.
