What are some examples? My math history knowledge is a bit lacking

Expand  

So was mine, until I came into the possession of this marvellous tome:

Terrific stuff; very elucidating with regards how various aspects of maths were invented. Plus, I learnt the word 'adumbrate' from it. 

With regards technicalities that gave rise to major practical discoveries when focussed on, there was an ancient Greek chap named Euclid (whom you may well have heard of) who posited a set of five fundamental geometrical axioms/postulates in his famous collection of writings titled Elements. The fifth of these postulates was one that effectively stated that "parallel lines always remain equally distant from each other at all points along their length". This particular axiom, notoriously named the parallel postulate, seems very intuitive and practically self-evident but is actually very complex to state in baseline geometric terms compared to Euclid's other four, far simpler, axioms, as shown below in his own words:

Postulate 1: 'To draw a straight line from any point to any point,'

Postulate 2: 'To produce [extend] a finite straight line continuously in a straight line,'

Postulate 3: 'To describe a circle with any centre and distance [radius],'

Postulate 4: 'That all right angles are equal to one another,'

Postulate 5: 'If a straight line falls on two straight lines in such a manner that the interior angles on the same side are together less than two right angles, then the straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.'

Note the terrible messiness of the fifth axiom. This, while not affecting the practical usefulness of the postulate, was a troubling technical issue that mathematicians tried to fix for centuries after Euclid, trying and failing to prove it in terms of other geometrical axioms or prove it from a simpler, more elegant axiom coupled with the others (Euclid's five postulates weren't strictly a full list of the axioms he implicitly used, so others expanded the set to 20 or so axioms to cover the rest of geometry). All such attempts failed, as the parallel postulate turned out to be logically equivalent to any postulate that was used with other axioms of geometry to try and prove it (meaning the alternative postulates turned out to just be different ways of saying the same thing as the parallel postulate, so using them to prove the parallel postulate was like saying 'the sky is blue therefore the sky is blue').

It wasn't until the 1900s when people began to discover that the fifth axiom actually defined only one of several types of geometry - if parallel lines are taken to be equally distant at all points along their length you get generic Euclidean geometry, if parallel lines are taken to converge you'll end up with something called elliptic geometry (an example of this geometry is shown in the surface of a sphere - if you try tracing out 'straight' lines on such a surface, you'll quickly find that they always converge and intersect, even if they're parallel at one point along their length), and if parallel lines are taken to diverge you get a particularly odd but equally self-consistent type of geometry called hyperbolic geometry. Elliptic and hyperbolic geometries are both just as logically sound and valid as Euclidean geometry, and in fact major elements of the concept of non-Euclidean geometry were used to form the foundation of Einstein's theory of relativity, which is founded on the idea that the force of gravity is simply spacetime being geometrically warped in a non-Euclidean way (meaning parallel lines physically do not remain the same distance from each other along their length in a gravitational field).

Thus, the mere technicality of Euclid's fifth postulate being considered 'messy' or 'awkward' gave rise to the discovery that Euclid's fifth postulate is only a special case - and by extension gave rise to the discovery of the immensely practical theory of relativity, in which the fifth postulate is not always physically true.

How many keys have you personally been entrusted with in your life?

If you were dangling off the side of a cliff by your fingertips, who would you trust most to rescue you?

If you were offered a choice of any single virtue to be blessed with, which would you choose? (This includes anything you can think of that qualifies as a single virtue, not just the seven 'traditional' ones or any such limited selection.)

If you were offered a choice of any single vice to be cursed with, which would you choose? (Again, anything you can think of that qualifies as a vice, but if you answer with 'none' or something sufficiently tricky they'll curse you with the worst one they can think of.)

1. Not too many actually, and most of the ones I have had were dorm keys, so not really a matter of entrusting. I don't really like keys though so it works out
2. a squad of pararescues adequately trained to save people in life-threatening situations such as this my friends of course <3
3. I think kindness is the best one. If everyone had that there would never be any problems in the world (or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that any problems that arise in the world could be easily alleviated)
4. Probably laziness. Most people look down upon the lazy but I really don't think it's such a bad thing lol

objection

non-compartmentalised stringed instruments can play a literally infinite number of pitches/sounds assuming you can move your finger continuously down the strings

pianos have exactly epsilon percent of that variety

use a grand piano and run your fingers seductively down the exposed strings to change the key pitches as desired and also look ravishingly talented to any nearby crushes.

Oh, yes, dirt is certainly dirty. Dirtiness is when a solid has dirt on it, so, since dirt is a solid, dirt with dirt on it qualifies as dirty. Wetness, on the other hand, is when a solid has liquid water on it, and since liquid water isn't solid it can't be wet. Ice can be wet, though, so inasmuch as ice is water water can be wet.

Put it this way: nuclear bombs can be considered negligible if your physics is large-scale enough, and people messing with gudfrosty is definitely one of the larger-scale problems.

What was the last thing you ate?

How often do you get sick?

Who goes there?

What is the mathematical average of all philosophies weighted by the sum of the number of eyeballs of those who supported them, and is it logical for all of humankind to adopt the output philosophy given that the eye is the window to the soul and the soul is the seat of philosophy and therefore those with more eyes are more qualified to evaluate philosophies?

Oh, no, precision has nothing to do with it. When the blast radius approximates the Earth's radius all you have to do is make sure you don't somehow aim at some other planet.

He also attended Plato's lectures just to eat food loudly in the back row, and gatecrashed one of the poor guy's lectures in particular because Plato defined humans as being 'featherless bipeds', so of course Diogenes decided to pluck a chicken and bring it into the lecture room waving it around and yelling 'BEHOLD A MAN'. Plato later amended his definition to include fingernails.

And if there are three other things you've got going for you it's your personality, intelligence and kindness.

What's the biggest number you know of?

What are your numerical ratings of the Mane 6 in order of the number of hugs you would give each of them in an average half-hour if you had the opportunity?

Who would have the highest previously-defined rating out of everyone you know, and what rating would you give them?

Which inanimate object would have the highest previously-defined rating out of every object within your power to hug, and why?

1. If it exists I probably have a headcanon for it. Fiction is serious business
2. I wrote a poem once
3. "Could you tell us a little but about yourself?" *shudders*
4. My friend gave me an app store/itunes gift card this past Christmas. He did this because he remembered me gifting him a game almost 3 whole years prior <3

It's cliche but the content of a gift really is insignificant. It's all about the context
