My Latest Cartoon For New Scientist

Gotta love mathematicians for never being able to name concepts normally

i cant find NEARLY enough radiation themed blinkes so i made some myself

(make on blinkies.cafe)

Can't decide if this is satire

The thing about the philosophy of mathematics is that there's no articulable position so absurd that some influential mathematician hasn't genuinely held to it. You 100% cannot troll these people; you could walk up to a mathematician and say "I'm a radical finitist, I reject the existence of all numbers larger than 1", and not only would that turn out to be a real thing, some maniac has worked out how to construct set theory under its constraints.

Maths professors be like " Oh no class we have only three minutes left but it's okay it's fine we can just prove a tiny little theorem" and then proceeds to prove the longest most abhorrent and repugnant theorem ever know to mankind.

let pi=9
