  • The meaning of life - and cohomologies

    From Burkhard@21:1/5 to All on Wed Nov 22 04:20:26 2023
    bit of light entertainment, only thing I have time for these days:

    found this brilliant start to a math paper:

    "Since the dawn of time, human beings have asked some fundamental questions: who are we? why are we here? is there life after death? Unable to answer any of these, in this paper we will consider cohomology classes on a complex projective manifold that
    have a property analogous to the Hard-Lefschetz Theorem and Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations"

    What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? I thought it's 42.

    Once upon a time there was paleontology and then ontology.

    Or is that semantics?

    Was it 42?

    The probability of a state divided by all possible states
    and information theory.

    It was on Boltzmann's tombstone.
