:Perhaps he meant Perlman the Perl-programming superhero? ;) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.123.145|162.158.123.145]] 03:33, 16 June 2020 (UTC) | :Perhaps he meant Perlman the Perl-programming superhero? ;) [[Special:Contributions/162.158.123.145|162.158.123.145]] 03:33, 16 June 2020 (UTC) | ||

:Ironic perhaps, but at whose expense? ;-) --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.215.141|172.68.215.141]] 20:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC) | :Ironic perhaps, but at whose expense? ;-) --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.215.141|172.68.215.141]] 20:44, 17 June 2020 (UTC) | ||

Is "millennium problems" also a pun on "millennial problems", i.e. those issues which seem straightforward to adults but baffle the younger generation (the "millennials")? See for example comic [[2165]]. --[[Special:Contributions/188.114.102.48|188.114.102.48]] 00:48, 17 June 2020 (UTC) | Is "millennium problems" also a pun on "millennial problems", i.e. those issues which seem straightforward to adults but baffle the younger generation (the "millennials")?

The image is projected by a projector on the ground that Cueball is apparently standing in the way of, but there's no Cueball-shaped shadow on the projected image. {{unsigned ip |108.162.219.192}} | The image is projected by a projector on the ground that Cueball is apparently standing in the way of, but there's no Cueball-shaped shadow on the projected image. {{unsigned ip |108.162.219.192}} | ||

: '''"there's no Cueball-shaped shadow on the projected image."''' - of course not! Cueball is clearly constructed from lines - which (of course) have no width and therefore zero area and as a consequence, cannot obstruct any photons to cause a shadow to form.

::Ha ha. No I think it is easy to see that Randall/Cueball is actually standing to the side of the projectors beam and he is thus not in front of the projector; it is thus not strange that his shadow is not there! --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 09:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC) | ::Ha ha.

It is clearly Randall that makes this presentation based on the caption. Have added this to the explanation and transcript --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 09:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC) | It is clearly Randall that makes this presentation based on the caption.

Regarding [https://mobile.twitter.com/johncarlosbaez/status/1271577502947741696], could a professional number theorist please opine on the proof? And for that matter, is Peano arithmetic inconsistency that bad? If so, is it bad on the scale of 2020? I mean, if there are so many things equivalent to Peano arithmetic, then maybe one of them with a very slight change is consistent?

:Imagine the meeting! It would be like if aliens were discovered. "Gentlemen, sooner or later it's going to leak that arithmetic is inconsistent. We need plans. Contingency plans! Get to work!" This could make the CDC zombies site look like a test run. We could have the Count muppet with a thirty minute speech capitulating to veganism.
