>"Tank Man" who stood up to tanks in 1989 on Tiananmen Square was not run over by a tank
>Forrest Gump "Life is like a box of chocolate", now "Life was like a box of chocolate"
>Interview with A Vampire, now Interview with The Vampire
>Snow White cartoon, "Mirror, mirror on the wall", now "Magic mirror on the wall"
>Star Wars "Luke, I am your father", now "No, I am your father"
>Mr. Roger's opening song "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" now "It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood"
>Jaws "We're going to need a bigger boat" now "You're going to need a bigger boat"
>Looney Toons, now Looney Tunes
>Australia was south-east in the middle of the sea, now right next to Indonesia
>Japan was much further away from Koreas
>New Zealand was to the north-east of Australia, now south-east

Except for Berenstain Bears, none of these are a fucking thing, and Berenstain Bears is only a thing because "-stein" is a common name ending.

Why does the integral operation give the area under the curve of a function? For example, [math]f(x)=2x[/math] over the domain a to b is equal to [math]F(x)=x^2[/math] evaluated at [math]F(b) − F(a)[/math]. Why does the operation [math]\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}[/math] give the area under the curve of a given function? This is not intuitive at all. If I take the sum of all the infinitesimally small rectangles underneath the curve of a function over the domain a to b, that is the same as performing the operation [math]\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}[/math] on the function and evaluating the function at a and b and subtracting the former from the latter. Not one of my calculus professors have been able to explain this phenomenon without muh fundamental theorem of calculus but all that does is relate the derivative to the integral by saying the integral is defined as the antiderivative. It doesn't explain why it gives the area under the curve of a given function.

I'm a high-school fag who loves calculus. I made a group on fb for only my specific class and I post vids there intuitively explaining the things we learn in class. My problem is they don't engage or care, and I want their grades to go up and appreciate the math. How can I make it more enjoyable and engaging? What keeps you guys in the mood when studying or in class?

I made a general goal of scoring the highest class average on the final. I started a rivalry with another class to add fuel for them and an additional influence for them to care. When they see each other as a community, it helps, but the extent is only in class. On facebook, they give no fucks.

Some guy who had this done to all his fingers recorded his experience in a blog. About a month and a half in his flesh had begun to reject the magnets and he had to have sizable chunks of his fingers removed because of infection.

This is so fucking cool. Technology is truly amazing. Definitely a thing people in the future will take for granted though. Littke shits.
Anyway, who even needs artists anymore now? We're getting to the point where we'll let AI create art.

How do you think Space Mining is going to start? I somehow doubt big businesses involvement because wouldnt the excavation of an asteroid made up entirely of precious metals going to devalue the ones we have back at home?

Using earths resources and dumping primitive energy sources like fossil fuel is 1000 times more efficient than going to outerspace and trying to drill the chickenshit resources out of floating rocks. which costs a ton more than its income

It will coincide with the start of the post-scarcity era
When we get to that level of automation and resource abundance, prices won't matter. It will be a socialist utopia

There are NEOs with trillions of dollars worth of precious metals

No, it's pretty expensive.
Compare to burning coal: either way, you use heat to boil water, and you use the steam to spin a turbine to crank a generator.
But with coal, you just feed a fire, and with nuclear, you need a complicated reactor.
With nuclear, you get a big up-front cost, and a big clean-up cost, then you go on taking care of the waste effectively forever. When people claim that nuclear's cost effective, usually they're looking at the operating costs, after the set-up cost has been obfuscated by subsidies and forgotten, and when everybody's pretending that the clean-up and waste management issues are just never going to have to be dealt with.

From newton's time, does the order of "greatest living mathematicians in the world" go
Newton
then Euler
then Gauss
then Riemann
Then who after that?

I think he's asking for a chronology of mathematicians who were considered greatest at the time of their living.
That being said, if you honestly think Gauss was not the greatest who's ever lived, you're a stupid undergrad.
