"2 + 2" is a nonsensical question in base 1.
Just sayin'.

Base 1 is awesome! It has only one digit (0) and all of numerical mathematics becomes trivial and simple and easy in base one. "00 + 00 = 0000" and "00 = 0" so "00 + 00 = 0".
"X^3-17X^2-6X+143 = 0" express in Unary notation and solve for X: "0^0 - 0^0 - 0 + 0 = 0" therefore "X=0" for any equation in which X is a factor.

Well, 2+2 = 4 doesn't make sense in base 2, 3 or 4 either.

Prof, you are entirely right about this I have a weakness. My only excuse is that it is Cal who initiates the fight by posting his special brand of idiocy on inappropriate threads. What you are asking, seems to me, is the functional equivalent of quarantining (except that I can't move the original Cal post to his corral) but carried out by each individual Cal-responder than by a central Mod agency.
Since Cal fails to make relevant posts (he also has a weakness)and continues to dribble his black scum on our pristine beach, maybe it is time for an official quarantine.
|
I think it a good thing that Cal's repetitive bullshit is slapped down wherever he posts it, by anyone who feels so inclined. Rather than delete anything, it is no trouble to clean up a polluted tread by request, if the exchanges become too protracted - by shoveling it into 'bingo'.
Quarantine was rejected some time ago, but us guiding shites are open to other suggestions.
I notice that few contributors engage Cal other than to mock his drivel these days - it's a pity Cal hasn't spotted this.

But why does the All-Smitey need all that time to kill everybody off?
Have we got to suffer 5 months of pissing rain whilst he floods us all to our doom!

We deserve it, don'tcha know. We're all horrible sinners, in need of a good smiting.

Looks like the Mayan calendar translation & interpretation service has had things well & truly fucked up for quite some time:
Quote:
A new critique, published as a chapter in the new textbook "Calendars and Years II: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World" (Oxbow Books, 2010), argues that the accepted conversions of dates from Mayan to the modern calendar may be off by as much as 50 or 100 years. That would throw the supposed and overhyped 2012 apocalypse off by decades and cast into doubt the dates of historical Mayan events.

I think I'll book those 2013 holidays after all.

Maybe not. If the discrepancy is in the wrong direction, the world already ended 49 or 99 years ago.
