Ouoooops! time slip ...

Nobody wished me Happy Birthday! :nb)
Wait! I haven't been born yet!

Anyway, I am leaving now. After checking out 2001 "spectacles" ... I'm going "back to the future" ... Bye! ...

Math was easy in the Roman empire. x was always 10.
mfb said:
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.
 
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.
Thus 7 = 10. Another paradox!

##1\,0## can be any number greater than ##1##. :biggrin:
Proof?

V II = X, if we skip multiplication signs between numbers.
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?
 
Another time-traveller joke (visitor of PF):
Birth date: May 1, 2050
Occupation: Time cop
...

1st post: where did that phony historian time-traveller go?

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

[I didn't want to have made it that obvious, ... that's why I flipped the order. (See also davenn's original)]
 
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?

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