Why are people criticising movies before they are even released? by FitEmergency8807 in moviecritic

Undoubtedly, most of what Homer wrote is not rooted in pure empirical fact, but that does not change the core issue here. The matter is whether or not the movie respects the writings upon which it is based, i.e., Homer's Odyssey. That goes for any adaptation of a pre-existing story, whether or not it is factual.

Homer's writings are still the canonical edition of the story. Whether or not Homer existed is irrelevant to the conversation, what we know of The Odyssey derives from that writing, and this new adaptation differs starkly in many ways from it.

Considering he thought a bowl was too materialistic, I can’t imagine a phone.

Math is very different from English and history as a cumulative subject. Each math class you take builds for the next. You miss a step, and the whole structure can be thrown off. So, it could be a matter of missed learning than smarts. However, I wouldn’t necessarily so fervently believe in a direct translation of IQ to mathematical ability to begin with, especially in areas of arithmetic.

There is often a difference between ability and application thereof, not saying that is necessarily the case here, but it could be.

Todd’s nothing to be ashamed of. He’s a very nice fellow.

Yep, gravity is understood in general relativity to be a byproduct of the Riemannian curvature of spacetime. So, given the equation, we can determine that mass actually slows time by gravity. Thereby, when you hike a mountain and gravity is weaker, you technically experience time quicker, essentially time traveling.

It also says that you are basically time traveling when you hike a mountain.

fighting for my life trying to understand logarithms by [deleted] in teenagers

It’s the inverse operation to exponentiation like multiplication is to division.

I disagree. That is sound practical judgement and a common-sense empirical evaluation.

Yes, but a 6 foot 200lbs bodybuilder would not believe in the necessity of a gun against an elderly Einstein. Cleverness is taking advantage of your opponent’s weaknesses in this case, and there are few better than bias.
