Pi * 1337% = 42. My mind is blown.

The Answer has been found! I must search for this Elite Pie!

Wait........... What???

Really?

Zero to the zero power = 1.

O SHI, what have I done?!

Except it's 0. I got confused in calc one day and checked it out and the exponent rules say if n=/= n^0 =1

 

[WanderingFool]

Someone mentioned to me today that 1337% of Pi = 42. Sure enough, I ran the numbers and to two decimal places, Pi * 13.37 = 42.00.

For Discussion: Share something that when someone said it to you, you were like "really?" then you found out it was true and you were like "holy shit."

Just did.

While taking AP Bio, I learned about the sodium potassium pump. Its a little protein that perfectly changes its very structure to allow in Potassium while letting out sodium. ATP, another molecule, binds to this protein to let it happen, and it is because of this pump that our cells can maintain their overall electric charge.

This may not seem like a lot to some, but this shit blew my mind while I was reading it. All I could think of was, HOW THE FUCK ARE WE ALIVE?!

Have you learned about the FTP motor? It's a molecular motor found in every cell. It's the power house of cells. Scientists estimate every cell can have a couple thousand of these little motors. It can burn fuel to produce energy, and it can run in reverse to store energy. I've seen an animation of it in work. It even looks like a simple 2 part motor spinning. It's absolutely crucial to cells, and it's made of a couple hundred protein molecules. It is irreducibly complex. If you remove any molecules, it becomes completely useless. I had a similar feeling of "How did that come to be???" That's all I can remember. It's been a year or 2 since I learned about them.

When i tried to grasp the size of the universe with my tiny brain it imploded.

For reference: there are more stars in the skies, then grains of sand on this planet!

 

[AvsJoe]

So, wait...

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is elite pie?

...makes sense...

So what do we do with awesome pie? Eat it? Kill it? Worship it as a god?

Combine all three. Eat it with fire and worship the poo.

It's just a coincidence that 42 is the answer. 42 itself wouldn't mean anything except for the Hitchhiker's books, and Douglas Adams specified that he picked the number 42 out of thin air, because he thought it would be a funny answer.

The only thing that impresses me these days is the LHC.

 

[DPutna17]

Its not exactly 42 so i don't know why your mind is blown it's not really that amazing.

When I found out that Rock type attacks were neutral against Rock type Pokemon.

I had always thought they were Not Very Effective. I was really surprised.

I was surprised the first time I was told that bug beats dark.

Really...? Why?

You mean that little motor inside our inner mitochondrial membrane? Yeah, to hell with that and all those other little cellular monsters. I'd rather not now how all those impossibly small swimming bits of nothing are all that's keeping from my imploding/melting from the inside out.

 

[Feste the Jester]

Lemme just check tha... holy shit.

I'm gonna go tell everyone.

More on topic, if a dog and a dolphin can get together why can't the whole world?

haha, yes, I love that line. It inspires me everyday.

OT: When I found out beef jerky and whipped cream tastes good together

You sir have blown my mind and my pokeman'z minds.

Division by zero is possible! And it breaks reality.
Given:
a=b
a[sup]2[/sup]=ab
a[sup]2[/sup]-b[sup]2[/sup]=ab-b[sup]2[/sup]
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a+b)=b
a+a=a
2a=a
2=1

I don't really have any epiphanies to share, but when I saw yours I was all

Jesus, Keanu, don't look so shocked!!! God, that man needs like... Powerthirst or something.

Hm.... "What the fuck do you mean Pluto's not a planet anymore?!" Either that or

I learned a certain type of spider uses learning to hunt, soon it will invent gun powder also

this. Pretty scary. I mean, we were pretty screwed when we started teaching gorillas sign language, but shit...

Division by zero is possible! And it breaks reality.
Given:
a=b
a[sup]2[/sup]=ab
a[sup]2[/sup]-b[sup]2[/sup]=ab-b[sup]2[/sup]
(a+b)(a-b)=b(a-b)
(a+b)=b
a+a=a
2a=a
2=1

In step 4, both sides are set to zero (a-b=0, so 0*each factor makes the equation 0=0). You don't divide the zero out. Hell, in step 3 you establish that a[sup]2[/sup]-b[sup]2[/sup]=b(a-b), which means 0 (a[sup]2[/sup]-a[sup]2[/sup] since a=b) = b*0 (a-a), therefore 0=0.

You fail algebra forever. My math teacher pointed this out to me when I was in second grade...so anyone who believes you can divide by zero is by definition not as smart as a second-grader.

This is old news. Even I have seen the previous thread about this.

Oh my Jesus Christ monkeyballs. That's so awesome you just made my entire day. And it needed to be made, was gonna be boring!

I'm sorry, I'd love to contribute, but I just can't even try to top that

That's if you stop and solve the equation there. But as it stands, they're still variables. If you continue algebraic simplification, you end up with the final numbers. You only divide by 0 in hindsight. And it's a joke anyway, kinda how like 1337% of pi isn't really 42, but it is with simple math.
