The eternal battle between programmers and physicists! Programmers insist arrays start at index 0 (looking at you, C and Python devs), while Einstein's General Relativity uses indices that run from 1 to 3 for spatial dimensions. The title "Μ∈{0,1,2,3}" is the mathematical way of saying "the index μ can be 0, 1, 2, or 3" - which is actually the compromise in physics for spacetime coordinates where time gets index 0! This epic arm wrestling match captures the tension between two worlds that will never agree on how to count. Programmers save memory by starting at 0, physicists save sanity by matching dimensions to indices. The struggle is real! 💻vs🔭
