Bits of Babel: To The Faithful Departed ...

LIPSYNC:

Dead people don't have theorems. It's ours now.

WINOFOREVER:

That's got nothing to do with Newton. That was way
before his time. It's called the basic principle of
Mathematics. An equation with n degrees has n solutions.

CAPTAINMURPH:

Yeah ;0)

LIPSYNC:

Dead people have left everything behind.

FICKLEPHARAOH:

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

KING'SPROPHET:

Bah ... not me man ... I did it ALL by myself.

LIPSYNC:

Dead people ... we stand on dead people.

WINOFOREVER:

Basically you can convert any equation of n degrees
to the general form of (x-a)(x-b) ... (x-n)=0 and it
will have n roots.

FICKLEPHARAOH:

Ok.

CAPTAINMURPH:

We're getting to that soon ... I'm doing pre-calculus and
calculus all over again because it's been so long. Gonna
get into electronics and nanotechnology.

WINOFOREVER:

If you want more explanations from me I'd be glad to
help. But not at the moment ... send me a message next
time.

CAPTAINMURPH:

All right. Hehe.

BOOKOFCHESS:

Anyone wanna argue?

CAPTAINMURPH:

No, we like you too much.
