WITH POWER AND PRIDE
AND GOD ON OUR SIDE!

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

A pope can only emerge out of nowhere if an associated antipope is also created. To resolve the uncertainty principle, even in conditions of zero energy/mass, shortly thereafter the pope/antipope-pair will re-self-annihilate to release the energy temporarily loaned to them and reaffirm the pre-existing average energy density. If, however, either the pope or antipope falls across an event horizon, whilst the other moves off to infinity, that would theoretically produce Hawking-radiation.

You mean Haw-King of the Universe radiation. You know, because God is king or something? Err, that's not a good joke...

I was going to do The Hawk King, but thought it might be topologically graded at superior potential to the averaged cranium-value of my textual interlocution clients.

Will alter OP when I stop playing TF2 for more then three seconds.

The Hawk Ring? Increases bow range?

[Imic]

K'
Edited OP with info. More suggestions welcome.

I recommend it greatly. It's especially good for helping to visualize 4D shapes, but it's no musty textbook either - it has a good plot.

I first read it when I was at school. (Just a public library lend, not a school thing. Though I wish now I'd shown my maths teacher I was reading it, as I probably didn't, rather than merely adding it to my "book I have read" list for English Literature.)

Wasn't immediately sure whether it was a parody of Victorian social values or written 'straight' with the author's own prejudices, but then I was still being guided through the allegory of Animal Farm at the time... Now I know better.

But the maths (or rather the set of mathematical concepts) was easy to handle.

Edwin Abbott Abbott has had other people produce 'sequels' (though I first encountered Flatland in The Incredible Umbrella, which involved Sherlock Holmes going 'undercover' in Flatland during an adventure in which the Gilbert And Sullivan operetta universe played a large part..) but I suppose I like Flatterland a lot because I've met the author a few times (including this summer, when we talked about the geometries of spacetimes for actually completely unrelated reasons...

How did we end up talking about maths and literature in a religion thread?
Alos, I have read a bit of the book, but I thought you were talking about some video game that I hadn't heard of.
