Got me thinking...Hi;
as everybody on the planet already knows this site belongs to MIF. It did get me thinking though about that fame he mentions. Everyone knows I am a modest sort of chap but mixing with the Hollywood crowd seemed long overdue. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on. #2 2012-12-19 18:56:42

Re: Got me thinking...Be sure not to forget us once you're famous. The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't. “It's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!” ― Richard Feynman “A secret's worth depends on the people from whom it must be kept.” ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón #4 2012-12-19 20:10:56

Re: Got me thinking...Hmmmm. I suspected as much. In mathematics, you don't understand things.

Re: Got me thinking...If bobbym were a pope... Star members have too many stars. So, if I congratulate new star members, so, that means I need more stars for my picture? #17 2013-04-24 18:03:08

Re: Got me thinking...Took them thousands of years to pick out of Italy. I would guess they would pick predominantly Catholic countries. America is predominantly Protestant.

Re: Got me thinking...It is a social network, like Facebook, except things go quite differently there. All the celebrities have a Twitter account, but, of course, everyone can have one.
