:: nonsense for earnest students of math and science ::

[galathaea]

marilyn vos savant
infamously challenged wiles proof
before understanding it

ramanujan
was not immediately recognised as
a brilliant manipulator of series and integrals

the world of mathematical certainty

is delayed
and smeared

derivations are not immediately verified

it is in these times of uncertainty
one can see the character of
the self-described students

and every mathematician
and every scientist
is born anew
their lives a continous process
of rediscovering the structure
of past proofs and observations

before the times we understand the structure
we do not know of sense and nonsense
only possibility

and there is always the possibility
we will never know it

do not be an ass and assume to deny
what you cannot yet comprehend

take your time
and study
and wait

that is what heyting algebras teach us
