A clock is a mathematical "breadkthrough"?

"No one can have a monopoly on mathematical knowledge; no one can claim a
mathematical idea as his or her invention; no one can patent a formula.
There is nothing in this world that is so deep and exquisite and yet so
readily available to all."

The actual subject of the article asshat, was the guy won a mathematical
prize.

But as we all know now from Chris, nobody invents anything in mathematics
including this guy. It's all just waiting to be discovered. You don't
"invent" it, you "discover" it. The clock is a great discovery!

Fermat *created* the modular arithmetic, and
he has no known (corresponded or otherwise texted) errors;
surely, he could have had an elementary proof;
could he not have had it?

Fermat was incorrect in asserting that 2^(2^n)+1 would always be
prime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Weil

"In January 1941, Weil and his family sailed from Marseille to New York.
He spent the war in the United States,
where he was supported by
the Rockefeller Foundation and Guggenheim Foundation."

It is interesting to see that
when Jews were being ejected from Germany,
being forced to labor,
and supposedly being made into lamp shades.

Jews like Andr� Weil
and the Jew who bought the grave site at Arlington
next to JFK's grave, were dodging the draft,

and so many Jews who could not get deferments,
or "essential" civilian jobs,

joined the Coast Guard during WWII
that it was called the Jewish Navy.

I trust that if Jews get America into wars
with Iran, Syria, etc.
that Jews will do their part.

One has to wonder why Sam Wormley
is constantly hyping
the nominal, money/mind/time-wasting
contributions of Jews to society.

For example observe that Sammy constantly promotes
Einstein's models although they generate more heat than light,
and waste time, money and minds,

and cannot be compared to the Watson/Crick DNA model
that is used millions of time every day
to improve health care, food production, solve crimes,
reconstruct history, etc.

The moral of the story is:

Should people be educated
that life is a zero sum game
and they should "Jew" others to get more?

or

Should people be educated
that life is a "win-win" game
and they should interact with others
in a honest, above-board way

and share the gain
and share the pain?

What do you think is the best social strategy?

You know that lamp shade thing is a fake,
ditto the soap story.
There is another rumour which has not yet been disproved,
they made seal gaskets for Uboats from Jewish hair.

Are you denying the holocaust? You KNOW that is a major crime in many
countries! Perhaps a few years in some prison hole will change your mind
about soap and lampshades...

Yes, isn't it shocking that so many supposed liberal democracies forbid
freedom of speech? Meanwhile, if holocaust denial isn't a crime were
the poster is, then he may deny it, may he not? (Supposing he is
denying it.)

Human hair is widely used in pizzas, white bread,
industrial made food to produce tasty crumbs.
And the nutrition regulatory number is E 920.
What the barber sweeps from the floor is collected
and processed to L-Cystein.
Jews and Muslims are not allowed to eat food which contains human
substances, nor hair and claws from pigs which are the next best
source to human hair of the flour treatment additives.
Most of the E920 comes from China, they sell their body hair
to the billions.

Hope you enjoy your burgers even more now!

The full paragraph is:
"Mathematical formulas and equations represent objective and necessary
truths, which describe the world around us at the deepest level. And
what’s also amazing is that we own all of them. No one can have a
monopoly on mathematical knowledge; no one can claim a mathematical
idea as his or her invention; no one can patent a formula. There is
nothing in this world that is so deep and exquisite and yet so readily
available to all. Today, our celebration of the work of a great
mathematician serves as a reminder that everyone should be given equal
access to this timeless and profound knowledge." -- Edward Frenkel is
Professor of Mathematics at University of California

To which I have to ask, Really?? Why do math equations have names
(Bernoulli, Euler, Green, Maxwell, Dirac, etc.) attached to them? If
no one owns them, then who is it that is not giving this equal access?
Really?!

This is not true.

The "mapping telescope" (page 312 in http://www.math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/AT/ATpage.html)
is currently patented (http://www.geospatialworld.net/Paper/Technology/ArticleView.aspx?aid=24932)

When $f_i:X_i->X_{i+1}$ is a sequence of continuous functions then simply replacing

"topological space" by "map"
"mapping telescope" by "smooth tGAP structure"
"space X_i" by "one Level of Detail (LOD)"
"space X_{i+1}" by "next LOD"

turns text-book material from 2001 into a patent in 2012.

Precisely! That's why mathematics is not owned by all of us.
Intellectual Property copyright laws still apply. Prof Edward's
paragraph is ripe with inconsistency. Why should his books be
copyrighted, while all of math is allegedly not? I'm sure he's point
out that he was using the word patent, to which "some human" presented
an interesting post.

Some are now politically trying to reduce the legal limit from the
current 0.08% down to 0.05% only. Two single malt shots, depending
upon your weight and sex. DUI charges are a profitable business, given
DUI classes teach you that those that drink are usually predominantly
the employed ones. Another way of not saying, "That's where the money
is, not that we're stalking, we would never do that!"

Yes. Before Newton all the apples merely floated away into the blue
skies.
