Before #Einstein and a bunch of applied #mathematicians invaded the field, #physics was experimental and practical. Physicists believed that electromagnetic waves needed a medium of propagation, just like water being required to propagate water waves. For EM waves, this medium is called "ether" or "aether" (named after the 5th classical element—the pure, bright upper air or quintessence).
Here is a summary of what some well known physicists said about the nature of ETHER.

Modern mathematics is full of holes. Mathematicians created definitions that are unrealistic in reality. Too much notation and definitions often hide flaws in their proofs. Here is a simple example.
Is Q dense in R? The proof of Q dense in R has been widely accepted by most if not all #mathematicians. Yet, there is an obvious mistake that was never noticed, namely, Q is not just any countable set. Q is an ordered set. Their proof completely omitted this critical property.

The other day I had a fairly popular post talking about how mathematicians easily and often admit that they don't know things or don't understand things. Today at work a real-life example came up!
Original post linked to in the next toot since apparently I can't post a link and have an image at the same time ... wtf?!
I was helping a student with Calc I in my office. The question gave a function and asked for values of x where the tangent line was horizontal. The function is the first in the image.
This requires taking the derivative with the product rule. The result of this is the second in the image. Since the second term has a denominator (other than 1 of course) we need to combine the two terms so we can set the numerator to 0 and solve.
The result of this operation is the third in the image. Fractions are 0 when their numerators are 0, so the fourth line shows the equation to be solved.
The student got this far without any help but was unable to solve the equation. This is commonplace. After all, the hardest part of calculus is algebra. But I couldn't see how to solve it either, so I told the student this.
At this moment two of my colleagues were talking in the hall outside my office so I told the student I'd ask them about it. Neither knew how to solve it and told me as much. So I told the student, who was actually thrilled that none of us could solve it either.
So I asked Wolfram Alpha, which gave a solution using the Lambert W, aka the productlog function. I'm a combinatorial topologist -- I do graph theory of various kinds. I've heard of this function but otherwise know nothing at all about it. And I'm happy to admit it! Anyway, that's how mathematicians roll.
ETA: Of course this problem shouldn't have appeared in an introductory calculus text since no undergraduate at that level would be able to solve it, so its inclusion was a mistake of the author or the editor.

Historic indeed!✌️🎉
Let's also always celebrate the fact that #NASA's early #space endeavors in the 50s to 60s were possible, in no small part, due to the hard work and abilities of three #female #AfricanAmerican #mathematicians, viz.: Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson. Watch the 2016 biography, Hidden Figures, for the uninitiated 👇:

Zero problems with math as a practice within the created #realm. It usually works. Right? It's that usually shit that bothers #mathematicians. They really hate #uncertainty. I live in ambiguity non-stop. #Infinity. No definition possible. Physicists are tool makers not truth tellers. They hate that.
