The thousand post club

[Chris Peterson]

Metric: "a mathematical function that associates a real nonnegative number analogous to distance with each pair of elements in a set such that the number is zero only if the two elements are identical, the number is the same regardless of the order in which the two elements are taken, and the number associated with one pair of elements plus that associated with one member of the pair and a third element is equal to or greater than the number associated with the other member of the pair and the third element" -merriam-webster.com

No wonder nobody has yet to master the English language. That sentence ranks right up there with the ancient Germanic dialect used in the Voynich Manuscript (it's plaintext, not a cipher, just an obscure language most linguists rarely encounter), or Beowulf.

That's a perfectly reasonable definition, and a perfectly reasonable use of English. It's an example of jargon, language that utilizes words and expressions intended for specialists (in this case, mathematicians). In reality, the above definition is actually written symbolically, and any translation into English is, at best, an approximation of its true meaning.

It seems that Boomer12k's breaking the thousand post barrier has gone unnoticed ...

[Ann]

Thanks for pointing that out, Bruce! Happy "one thousandth", Boomer!

[geckzilla]

I don't think he reads any part of the forum other than the APOD section.

[Boomer12k]

I don't think he reads any part of the forum other than the APOD section.

geckzilla is correct...I generally don't, but another Apod friend pointed this out.

Thanks everybody for acknowledging my 1000th post!!!!!! I appreciate it!!!! Especially...ANN!!!!! Hope you are well and happy in Sweden!!!!
And thanks to BDanielMayfied for pointing it out.

Your welcome.

Also its starsurfer, not Starsurfer.

Even when used at the beginning of a sentence? That was the only reason I capitalized ... In future I'll respect how u wish your handle to be handled.

Well, His Art-fulness is still going strong! And we like it so much ... as long as he stays away from a subject which began innocently enough around AD 900:

It began with the establishment of a river crossing for oxen around AD 900

...and then nothing went wrong.

well hello, I feel it's appropriate to introduce me in this topic:
get ready to see my post count increase at incomprehensible speed!

nah, just kidding...
been checking the apod pcitures almost daily lately and then found this board.
I used to be member of quite a lot of forums (due to my musical interests) but eventually most of them died...
Germany is where I'm from and I study to become a teacher for maths & pyhsics.
Yet, my knowledger of astronomy isn't that good. I'm simply fascinated by the pictures

see you around!

Hello and welcome! I don't visit this particular forum often, so I didn't notice your post. Better late than never, though.

Yes, the pictures here are great, aren't they? But if you are German, I hope you haven't missed the Capella Observatory site, and its great pictures. But do hang around here, too, because the more pictures you see, the merrier!
