Aww, I'm two pages late for my birth-page. Maybe I'll catch page 2294, my death year. (unless technology advances more.) I'm gonna live to 300 or die trying, damn it!

Hey, awesome, I accidentally made a neat discovery.
If the side of a square is S, then the diagonal is S root 2.
If the side of a cube is S, then the diagonal is S root 3.

Now generalize to n-dimensions with induction~

Okay, maybe that's a kind of trivial result, but it's neat, anyway.  I wonder if there's something more interesting we can get out of this...

Personally I don't see how any mathematician could ever be an atheist.  Religious maybe not, but certain things in math inspire a certain kind of awe.  Wait 'til you get to Euler's Identity:  Every important mathematical constant is related.

Golden ratio =/

That said: yeah, it's kind of amazing, isn't it?

[Gunner-Chan]

Oh yeah.

Dudebros, did you know that the Golden Ratio and fractal inscribed pentagons/pentagrams create infinite golden triangles? Think of how much money we could make! Infinite gold! Diminishing returns, yeah, but infinitely diminishing returns! That's big money, bro!

I don't believe in a God and I see the world as the truly Amazing, Beautiful, Terrible and ugly place that it is.

I don't see how I would need to believing a God to know any of that.

Heh, we had to do a fractal programming project for my intro course.  I combo'd the golden spiral and Sierpinski carpet

Apparently I missed my birthyear page, but I'm on 50ppp anyway.

Mad props to my fellow 93ians.

Images?
Because that sounds beautifully amazing.

[Vector]

Bah, I can't find it online... sorry.

The way I did it, though, was by putting different iterations of the carpet at each square spot, and because they were blue with red outlines, the spiral slowly changed color and grew more complex as it neared the center.

I got a lot of compliments for that one

[Criptfeind]

Oh, shit, Realmfighter's a minor?

Wait what? Really?

That makes this fourm take a whole new creepy vibe.

[Leonon]

It's not like we all played I Have Candy Get In The Van or anything.

[Gunner-Chan]

I HAVE VAN. GET IN THE CANDY

I HAVE FLUX CAPACITOR. GET IN THE DELOREAN.
