Math was easy in the Roman empire. x was always 10.

But what was y?
There was only one [geopolitical] variable in the Roman empire: 'Roman Power'. And it was always a 10.

But how could ##X## be constant if ##V## was 5? A paradox.
 
  • #366
V then would have to be a function, not a variable. E.g. V(X) = 1/2 X ["domain of X" = D = {10} ]

Why were ##p_x## and ##x## cited by the traffic cop?

They were caught driving together in the commuter lane.

Was it a quantum cop?

##V(t) = DX(t)## but ##t##empus fugit, ergo ##V = DX =## dividere ##X##:

V II = X, if we skip multiplication signs between numbers.

That's because these idiots killed Archimedes. No wonder they couldn't differentiate!

Thus 7 = 10. Another paradox!

And if we don't skip multiplication signs ##515 = LXV = L \times V = 50 \times 5 = 250##

Roman accelerations were also constant:$$a = v \frac {dv}{dx} = 5 \cdot \frac {505}{510} \approx 4.95$$

And one more: ##2 = ii = i^2 = -1##.

##1\;0=1\cdot b^1 + 0 \cdot b^0## and now chose a basis ##b>1## of your choice.

Then always 2 = 3 = ... = 10 = etc. , and we don't need Roman power anymore!
Is that why the Roman empire fell?

3 = iii = -i = -1?

A clown hurled a pie at another clown's face whereupon both clowns vanished. Why?

They had a face difference of one pie.

Why did the electron spin skip attending this year's 95th anniversary gala celebration of the Stern-Gerlach experiment?

It wasn't up for it.

Or should I say "How "micro" and soft was the apple?" ? (to be understood better ... :wink:)

I'm thinking about starting a club, The Black Hole Club, anyone want to join?
We have some rules:
  1. When you approach the club, you must set your watch to tick at a slower rate.
  2. What goes on beyond the event horizon stays beyond the event horizon.
  3. Rule number 3 is you do not talk about what goes on beyond the event horizon.
  4. You must cut off all your hair and we will charge you for this.
  5. You can not leave. If you try, we will disintegrate you into radiation.
Any other rule that may fit the club?

Rules 4 and 5 could be modified to be less intimidating. Mandatory haircuts and the specter of disintegration will not attract prospective members which is what this club is all about.

If I would want to invest in your club will I get my interest as black money radiation?
