What is the Universe expanding into..

[Galu]

I thought not.

That's a constant!

My Honest feeling is I am a talentless Oaf compared to Euler and Ramanujan.

But have Lucid moments.

With considerable effort, here's where I have got to so far in solving the Universe Problem:

Degrees of Freedom (Sean Carroll): At this point we need to draw a distinction between Massive Particles and Massless ones. (See how this going to connect back to the Higgs Field?) It turns out that when you measure the spin of a massless particle, there are only two answers you can possibly get. Plus the intrinsic spin or minus the intrinsic spin. For spin (0) particles those are the same, and there's only one possible answer. In other words, no matter what axis you are choose ( S7: And I question the whole 3D topic of Axis, myself...), when you measure the spin of a massless spin-1 particle like the photon along that axis, you will get +1 or -1. never 0. For particles with spin-0 or spin 1/2, that doesn't mattter, there aren't any missing values. But for higher-spin particles it matters a lot. When we measure the spin of a photon or graviton, there are only two possible values we can get, but when we measure the spin of W or Z boson, there are three different values, since it is possible to get 0. In this figure, filled circles represent the results we can get when measuring the spin of a massless particle, while a massive particle could give us any of the filled or open circles.

I still think the Standard Model has a lot of Life left in it:

Let's test you, Disco-Pete! 🙂

I give up, what's the funny part?

But have Lucid moments.

I wish I had them!

It appears you have failed Steve's test! 😊

 

[vishal raju]

The mathematician no 2 failed his own hypothesis miserable . He contradicts himself . Even if he is somewhat right he himself doesnot believe in what he say . Am i correct .

 

[Galu]

I don't know what the mathematicians had ordered, but they both ended up with egg on their faces!

 

[Disco-Pete]

It appears you have failed Steve's test! 😊

Tell us what the punchline is then.

 

[Galu]

Steve was testing you on your knowledge of integral calculus.

Therein lies the punch line. I'll leave any further explanation up to the setter of the test.

Calculus shmalculus. Where's the humour?
I've already asked him but it looks like he's spun off.

see, now that's funny, no?

 

[mchambin]

I am puzzled about the 2 mathematicians dubious joke.
Looks like a red herring to me, unless there is some English-language subtlety beyond my understanding.

 

[Disco-Pete]

Here's a better one..."Two Irishmen walk out of a bar"

 

[Galu]

Where's the humour?

You'll not see the humour if you don't know the rules of integration.

The most useful rules are given here:

Note the integral of x squared. The result is x cubed divided by three plus a constant of integration, C.

The waitress included the constant of integration in her answer, thus getting one up on the mathematician.

see, now that's funny, no?

No.

No.

No.

 

[Galu]

I see you have edited your post, so I've edited mine.

What are you saying "No" to?

No.

Okay, look...Steve is into spin, he's avoided elaborating, and not around to respond....spun off, get it? With bonus emoji!
Cuz if his joke is funny, mine is..yea, over the top!

weren't you gonna let Steve butt into his own conversation?

 

[Galu]

weren't you gonna let Steve butt into his own conversation?

Yes, until mchambin also expressed a lack of understanding of the humour.

 

[Disco-Pete]

Okay, I did surmise that. But how is it funny?

 

[system7]

Look, the Joke is the Waitress was a far better Mathematician than the two characters in the Bar. She is undoubtedly a Major in Mathematics at Stanford University!

Just doing a job in the Bar to pay for her studies.

Consider these two Characters. Thought they'd build a Robot.

Robot turned out to be very smart indeed.

 

[Galu]

But how is it funny?

Anyone taking the p*ss out of someone (as did the waitress in the joke) is always funny!

P.S. Well explained Steve. Only a mathematician would get the joke.
