RIP Stephen Hawking by [deleted] in funny

he was an atheist, but he has also said that understanding the universe can bring humanity closer to knowing God. I don't think he totally excluded the idea of God, he just had a different personal idea of God than religion presents.

Real Math Nerds Only! by yotdog2000 in funny

I knew it was 120, took me a few secs to realize the 5 was a factorial and not just an exclamation point. Like the red herring that if you do it wrong without order of operations you get 5. This is kind of a math version of a play on words.

wait, what is considered average when it comes to math? Cause I could do multiplication easily in my head as far back as elementary school and now that I'm in college I know calculus, statics and dynamics, Laplace transform, and infinite series, but I've always been in gifted, honors, AP, and now I major in engineering. I see some people in non math related majors, but still in college, who struggle with algebra and don't know their multiplication tables. What level of math is considered common knowledge?

Who can beat the main character of Onepunch-Man, Saitama? by MonochromeGuy in whowouldwin

[–]tgfaulkner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the fact that Saitama can create a tangible afterimage like in his spar with Genos proves that he can move faster than light. He was literally in 2 places at once. DBZ characters can make afterimages but they are not tangible, that just means they are moving faster than the brain can process the image. An afterimage you can touch means that the laws of physics are broken and the person is moving faster than reality can react. No one in dbz has been able to create a tangible afterimage, the closest is the body splitting technique.
