Mathematical Insomnia: When Constants Attack

Mathematical Insomnia: When Constants Attack
mathematics-memes, pi-memes, euler-memes, insomnia-memes, paradox-memes | ScienceHumor.io

The mathematical nightmare that keeps you up at 2:39 AM! The meme plays on the absurd proposition that π = e, which would break mathematics as we know it. In reality, π ≈ 3.14159 and e ≈ 2.71828 — completely different irrational numbers. Yet if they were equal, we'd have the contradiction that e² = 9 and π² = 10 simultaneously, which is mathematically impossible. It's the kind of nonsensical math paradox that haunts people with even a passing interest in numbers. Nothing like contemplating broken mathematics when you should be sleeping!
