If we fix the definition of sunset to a particular point (bottom/center/top of the sun touches the horizon or something similar), there should be regions close to the pole where the sun does indeed set in the East, to be observed at most once per year.

Math was easy in the Roman empire. x was always 10.
mfb said:

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.

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##.

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

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.

- Spaghetti is not just a food, it is also the way you will enter the club.

And by what method should we use, to become spaghettified?
hmmmm...
(google google google)

Ah ha!

When entering the club, one must lose one's clothing, becoming singularly naked, and don some ramen type clothing. Available at amazon.com for between $29.99 & $34.99, USD.

If entering the club with someone else, you must argue incessantly regarding noodle/pasta/ramen/spaghetti quadrality, where they are all the same thing at once, but can be viewed differently, depending on which culinary experiment one is going to feast upon, once you've had time, if and only if time actually exists in the club, after looking at the menu.
