I'm clueless. Is that Sanders? Something to do with taxes?Bandersnatch said:
and why is that funny?BillTre said:
I think the point is that the sums on the left are one of those funny series where the sum is zero for the first n terms, then suddenly it has a finite sum (somebody named them the last time this came up). Which is weird.phinds said:
fair enough. I think it would have been funnier if the last panel had beenIbix said:
BTW, this post has been reported as too political. Is anybody else offended by there being a political candidate in the meme? If so, we can deleted this sub-thread. Thanks.Bandersnatch said:
Ok. And the connection to Bernie Sanders?Ibix said:

It uses Senator Sanders's image in a cartoonish fashion. Disrespectful, perhaps. Political, doubtful.Ibix said:
I couldn't be offended if my life depended on it, I understand less about this than the thread on Ontology.berkeman said:
I'd be interested in some sort of reference for the maths. By symmetry between n and m, that sum must be zero for any finite number, but some infinite sums can be set to different values depending on how you choose to group the terms, and this one looks like one of those.Ibix said:

Can't find the post I was thinking of and Google is proving unhelpful. The post was a set of summed series with one varying parameter, ##n##. When ##n## was less than fifteen (I think!) the sum was zero, but it was non zero for ##n\geq 15##. This was a picture captioned something like "this is why I have trust issues". Somebody provided a Wiki link, but I can't find it and I don't remember the name...Jonathan Scott said:
Sounds like a good name for a beer. Neutrino Light - it will pass right through you and you'll never know it.berkeman said:

Ok that explains it, I know a lot less about wrestling than I do about US politics which is not a lot.jack action said:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_McMahon

But can you spot the typo there?gmax137 said:sorry if this is a repeat, but
Go to the O'Reilly auto parts website, and in the search box try "121G"
You're Welcome

I also couldn't get it via the search box, but google was more helpful:Ibix said:I've worked out what the part is from the hints, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I just get no search results. Perhaps it's export restricted...
Some Belgian beers pass right through you. Very little to do with physics though, more to do with the sediment if you have not decanted correctly.Borg said:

You can always boil everything down to physics. However to decant or not to decant is a colonic issue.sysprog said:
Even though gravitation might not have much to do with it, surely physics has a lot to do with the phenomenon anyway ##-## sedimentation and decantation and peristalsis are physical processes ##\dots##
I got an alert on the jokes section.mfb said:
Saw mfb/Ibix in the alert and knew it was going to be left field. Not even sure if its a joke!Ibix said:
Sure, everything involves physics, but more specifically, decanting includes e.g. how you pour out of a bottle to minimize the perturbation that mixes sediments in with what goes into the glass ##-## that involves fluid dynamics, surface tension, pour angle, etc..pinball1970 said:
