Futurama creates a new math theorem < on 6/13/2011 8:29 AM > | Reply with Quote
Only the most awesome show on the planet could be so fucking nerdy and make it so fucking cool.
From Gizmodo
Ken Keeler, the Futurama writer behind the theorem, actually has a PhD in math, so this was probably just a walk in the park for him. But for the rest of us non math geniuses, his theorem was used to explain a problem with an invention that let characters switch bodies. In the show, you can only switch bodies once with the same pair of people, so they needed an equation to prove that with enough switching bodies around, everyone will eventually end up as who they really are. Insert: funny jokes, robot humor and black comedy and mix accordingly.
Keeler's theory would mathematically put everybody in the right place so that all could be right in the Futurama world. Without Keeler's work, Bender's brain might have ended up in Amy's body forever! Which, to think about, actually might not be such a bad thing.
Explained here for us laments. Also, cool cartoon graphics!!!
Most of us (I guess you and me JeepDave) already know this, but fuck it we have our own board now. And this makes are smart look more.
