@TheEmpty0ne @PhysInHistory A lot of people know him.

@PhysInHistory He's immortalized as the guy nobody knows, or cares about. Massive impact.

Mathematician and polymath John von Neumann could speak eight languages by the age of six, including Ancient Greek and Latin. He could divide eight-digit numbers in his head at the age of six. He was familiar with differential and integral calculus by the age of eight. He entered the University of Budapest at the age of 15 and earned a degree in chemical engineering at the age of 19. He obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Berlin at the age of 22.

@megalithictimes @PhysInHistory What on earth are you talking about?

@PhysInHistory So the target was to win a Nobel Prize?? Did they actually achieved anything useful? The balance of logic and the described background would suggest...no.

In the 1940s, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was committed to his teaching role at the University of Chicago, despite being based at the Yerkes Observatory. Each week, he traveled 80 miles to teach a special course attended by only two students. The students were Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang. They proved their mentor's faith was well-placed when they both won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, years before Chandrasekhar received the same honor in 1983. Remarkably, this course went down in history as the only one where every attendee received a Nobel Prize, underscoring the extraordinary impact of Chandrasekhar's dedication and teaching. 📷 AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Physics Today Collection

@colmanseo @ThomasKirven1 @pickover You'd write that as 8/3, not 2 2/3.

@ThomasKirven1 @pickover It's 2+2/3 - not 2x 2/3. So it is true.

Mathematics. "This equation can't be true ... can it?"

@CheLouPhysiMath @pickover It's not 2 + 2/3, is 2*2/3 on the left side.

@pickover It’s true . Just square both. Left one squared = 2+2/3 Right one squared = 4*2/3=8/3=2+2/3

@WalkingPrison @bikallem @pickover Right. What is everyone doing here who said it's true?

@bikallem @pickover 2x2 is not 8

@KenDp1036553 @pickover The left side is simplifies to 2√(1/3).

@pickover Yes, this statement is true. Both sides of the equation simply to 2 √2/3 which is 1.633

@MarthaMick63083 @NFLonFOX What???

@NFLonFOX Wrong the New England Pats vs Seahawks was Super Bowl 2017.

The last time each remaining team made the Super Bowl 🏆

@BondarJoseph @NFLonFOX Who do the Pats want revenge???

@NFLonFOX Every single team wants revenge from each other super bowl loss that's crazy Seahawks versus Patriots broncos versus Seahawks Rams versus Patriots
