Pythagoras is the guy responsible for Pythagorean Theorem --anyone that has done algebra before owes this guy a lot. the greeks knew about quasi-crystals ? what's the reference/evidence ? Cheers, T It must be true if he learned it in his Humanities class.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pythagoras is the guy responsible for Pythagorean Theorem --anyone that has done algebra before owes this guy a lot. What about the 47th proposition of Euclid? What did Pythagoras have to say about that? BTW, apparently you completely missed the point of the article. My bad, (insert foot in mouth) I actually didn't read the article because I didn't want to sign up for another news account. I just read your little blerb about it. --note to self: Read an article before you post something about it-- My drinking team has a skydiving problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #30 February 26, 2007 Quote It's a pity that only 9 of our US Congressmen are engineers. maybe the solutions would be practical, but can you imagine the incredible amount of time it takes while they argue about how good or bad their analogies and paraphrasing is? Or, how each different congressman has to issue his own law for each different problem and they all use different size nuts and bolts and non of them are from a common and easily found and inexpensive supply? ...
