Kronecker Memes

The sunglasses come off when things get serious! The first statement "√2 is irrational" is basic math knowledge - no biggie. But mention that "a² = 2b² is insoluble in integers" and suddenly we're in mind-blown territory. What's the joke? These statements are actually equivalent! The irrationality of √2 means precisely that the equation a²=2b² has no integer solutions (where a and b have no common factors). Leopold Kronecker, the mathematician referenced in the title, was famously obsessed with integers, once declaring "God made the integers, all else is the work of man." He'd definitely appreciate this integer-focused humor!

The mathematician's ultimate revenge fantasy! Rejecting astrology only to embrace something even more mystifying - divergent series. While horoscopes claim to predict your future based on star positions, mathematicians like Berkeley and Kronecker assign actual numerical values to infinite sums that have no business converging. Those infinite series shown are the mathematical equivalent of astrology to most normal humans - completely nonsensical results that somehow equal fractions. The alternating series 1-1+1-1+... somehow equals 1/2? The natural numbers summing to -1/12? Pure mathematical witchcraft that makes zodiac signs look downright scientific. Next time someone asks for your sign, just tell them you're a divergent series and watch their soul leave their body.
