Day 1 Of Proving Anything Can Be Graphed

That notebook isn't just full of equations—it's a portal to mathematical madness! The chaotic explosion of symbols, random geometric shapes, and what appears to be hieroglyphics masquerading as calculus is the universal language of "I think I understand this... wait, no I don't." The calculator sitting nearby is clearly contemplating retirement. Fun fact: mathematicians estimate that 42% of those scribbles were written during existential crises, 37% while half-asleep, and the remaining 21% by a cat walking across the page.

The Jedi Council of Mathematics strikes again! Number 1 is getting absolutely roasted here for meeting the technical definition of a prime number (only divisible by 1 and itself) but still being denied the honor. It's like showing up to the elite mathematician party with the right credentials and getting bounced by the bouncer. For those who skipped number theory class to play video games: prime numbers are those divisible only by 1 and themselves. But mathematicians specifically exclude 1 from this club through a special clause—basically mathematical gerrymandering. Poor Number 1, forever the outcast despite technically qualifying. Talk about gatekeeping!

This is what happens when mathematicians discover emojis! Each line is a brilliant mathematical operation translated into emoji language: First, we've got 1 divided by a smile equals a smile - that's your fraction identity! Then logarithm of a laughing face equals water droplet times logarithm of laughing face - it's the classic log rule that log(a^b) = b·log(a)! The union and intersection operations are pure genius - shocked face UNION embarrassed face equals embarrassed face, while their INTERSECTION gives us just the regular smile! And don't miss the absolute value proof: |sad face| = -sad face = happy face. Math humor at its finest! Who knew emoji calculus could actually make math... fun? I'm telling you, this is going on my office door tomorrow!

The meme shows mathematicians proudly declaring "WE ACCEPT ALL IDENTITIES!" next to one of Ramanujan's infamous complex formulas for calculating π. But their faces drop in the final panel when confronted with this mathematical monstrosity. This is mathematical gatekeeping at its finest! Ramanujan, the self-taught Indian genius, derived mind-bending formulas that made even established mathematicians question their life choices. That particular formula is his rapid-convergence series for 1/π, which looks like something you'd write if your calculator exploded and gained sentience. The punchline? Mathematicians talk big about accepting all "identities" until Ramanujan walks in with his mathematical chaos. Then suddenly they're like "new identity, who dis?"

Infinity problems require infinite solutions! This meme is poking fun at the famous mathematical paradox of Hilbert's Grand Hotel, where a hotel with infinite rooms can still accommodate new guests even when full. Poor G. Cantor (a nod to mathematician Georg Cantor who worked on set theory and infinity) keeps getting shuffled around because in this bizarre hotel, they just move everyone up one room to make space! The "−1/12" rating is another math joke about the sum of all natural numbers, which counterintuitively equals −1/12 in certain mathematical frameworks. Mathematicians, they're the only people who can be fully booked and still say "Yes, we have vacancy!" 🔢✨

The meme brilliantly captures the physics blasphemy of treating the speed of light (c) as a variable in Einstein's famous equation E=mc². In the top panel, we see the standard equation with Einstein thinking normally. But in the bottom panel—pure chaos! Taking the derivative of E=mc² with respect to c gives us E'=2mc, and Einstein's mind is absolutely blown by this mathematical heresy. The speed of light is supposed to be a universal constant (299,792,458 m/s), so treating it as a variable is basically the physics equivalent of putting pineapple on pizza—theoretically possible but fundamentally wrong in the eyes of purists. The calculus joke here would make even Leibniz giggle in his grave!
