Since the earth is turning in relation to the sun, I would think this point is always changing.
Perhaps, so mysterious.
The theorem only tells us the point exists... it doesn't tell us where it is...
so mysterious
Not any more. The cat is securely out of the bag now, and I'm guessing it's doing its best trying to stay away from this scary Ulam portal. A word to the wise ....
I feel like this theorem would make for good scifi / fantasy. Any continuous measurement will have this mysterious Ulam point, including things like psychic potential, hidden evil, quantum entropy, ....
psychic potential, hidden evil, quantum entropy, ....
Mix in some historical fiction and you've got yourself a best-seller
Didn't know dude was on the Manhattan Project. The mystery deepens...
You joke, but I seriously have always been awed by math. I'm logical enough to appreciate it, but only after a good dose of handwringing. I like your explainers. They make sense to me.
Not pursuing math professionally is a minor regret of mine. I say minor because I don't know if I actually would have succeeded at it.
It's never too late. Just think of your territory payment/s as tuition and then you can give yourself an honorary credential of some kind -- who better to bestow it than the founder/maintainer himself! It will be almost as expensive, half the effort, and more worth it than any real degree (probably).
Wtf I thought this was ~math!?

In any case this detail messes with me. Since the earth is turning in relation to the sun, I would think this point is always changing.
Does it have other implications besides cool magic (ahem-- math!) stuff?
