Where Boredom Meets Procrastination
RSSHave mathematicians finally discovered the hidden relationship between prime numbers?
Well, maybe. Or maybe not. A description of the underlying relationship between prime numbers (those that are only divisible by themselves and 1) has been claimed by a Japanese mathematician named Shinichi Mochizuki in a 500+ page set of proofs and other mathmo jumbo. I won’t pretend to understand even an inkling of the intricacies involved in this work, but it involves something called abc conjecture.
Don’t feel bad if you don’t understand it either, because neither do most mathematicians. This guy is something a Will Hunting-esque genius. Plus I became a biologist so I wouldn’t have to do math like this.
(more at io9, including links to the 500+ pages of studies, if you’re into that)
Ooh awesome.

I love that we can ask Brenan any question about pretty much anything and he will give us the straight forward and geek answer we expect seriously...

juniebjoneses asked: Hey Rob! What do you do if you're at an open mic and the set of someone (or multiple people) before you revolved around unfunny mysognistic bullshit? Do you call them out on it or do you just let it go? What would you recommend? Is there an etiquette for that? I mean, I know it happens a lot, but it's really irritating.
I don’t really go to open mics anymore since I am (thank God) able to get onstage at most clubs or theaters these days. I make that distinction...
