    @adrianh i got some homework for you
    search for "random acts of kindness" you
    you will find normal people doing amazing
    things making a difference in cleaning up
    to helping people with math and science
    to helping hospital patients to
    rehabilitation

    it beats being a troll 24/7 all year round
    who knows you might even enjoy it

    simplifying math is a a excellent cause
    so i wish Brett all the best in doing what
    he does

    If Brett is doing such a good job of simplifying maths to make understanding easier, perhaps Bones would care to explain what Brett is trying to get at in this post then?

    If we were to observe that they will always be from a point to a point, we know none of them, well, in this sort of environment, will ever be, in the real world, infinite, as even a machine stops eventually as it is replaced, but that is besides the point.

    The angles will always equal 'length' to 'height' at a ratio of away from ninety at certain 'distances.' this is obvious, and, cuts the formulas into little bits.

    I am not sure about the specifics, but, this is a 'new law,' says me!

    Trying to simplify maths when you do not have a masters degree in math nor any training in education is as absurd as the layman trying to simplify brain surgery so that the man in the street can do it himself.

    Overvaluing one's own abilities is extremely dangerous because you not only prove that you are a fool, you prove it to the entire world.

    Bones, ok, how about we stop insulting one another and to one another as adults. My views are not aimed at Brett or you or anyone in particular. I do not have much of a tertiary education myself but I have taught myself many different things so I know what it is like to be thought of as an uneducated dumba$$. Be that as it may, my brother and sister are extremely well educated and there is no denying whatsoever that formal education is needed to delve into the depths of 99% of topics.

    If this was the case then I could really have saved myself a whole lot of money getting my son thro university and obtaining a Civil Engineering degree.

    It might have been an idea to have had a proper look before you got into a scrap about it, boet.

    I came across this during my morning wanderings, which seems pretty apt -

    We all want to be special.
    There's a fair chance that each of us has a particular talent where we're better than average (or more).
    The trick is to pick the area(s) that do actually suit our talent.

    I have a great idea, @brett and @bones should persue their hobbies, who knows, maybe it leads to something useful.
