Scientific notation Memes

Two people arguing over whether 1E12 is a trillion or a billion, while the Greek mathematician sips tea knowing it's actually a myriad of myriad of myriads (10,000³). This is what happens when you mix ancient number systems with modern scientific notation. The Greeks had their own numerical headaches long before we started fighting over whether a billion has 9 or 12 zeros. Next time someone corrects your powers of 10, just mumble "kai su, emiristarkhon" and walk away dramatically.

The pie chart reveals the brutal truth that actual Greeks barely use their own alphabet anymore, while mathematicians and physicists have completely colonized it. Nothing says "I understand this equation" like throwing in a random σ or λ. The thin blue slice for actual Greeks is the scientific equivalent of finding that one native speaker at a language conference full of enthusiastic foreigners. Next time you see π, pour one out for the actual Greeks who invented it but can't get a word in edgewise.

The scientific battlefield just got laser-intense! While normal people argue about miles vs. kilometers, scientists are waging war with their order-of-operations acronyms. BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction), PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction), and PEDOPRES (apparently someone's chaotic math cousin) are literally the same thing with different names. It's like watching nerds with lightsabers fighting over which Star Wars trilogy is best when they're essentially all about space wizards. Next up: physicists dueling over whether to write Planck's constant as h or ħ. The struggle is real.

Google search suggestions reveal the true path to enlightenment: scientific notation. While others seek spiritual guidance, the real devotees express their faith in powers of ten. Nothing says divine revelation quite like writing 9,800,000,000 as 9.8 × 10 9 . The chosen ones don't pray—they simplify unwieldy numbers into a mantissa and exponent. Salvation through standardization.
