Math is the weirdest thing ever

 Mathematics is among the most odd of things.

TREE(1) = 1, TREE(2) = 3, but TREE(3) equals a number so big if I copy-pasted it in this blog post, my Chromebook would die out. Here are some other cool tidbits:

Pi's infinite milestones

Pi is an irrational number, and it's just like the Library of Babel, containing every possible sequence of numbers. And let's be honest - your phone number is nested in there somewhere... but math was discovered, not invented. So, did God invent pi, by any chance, with the intent of putting your number on the 1,424,936,256,286,337th digit of pi? No, it's all random digits that don't truly end. And like I said, nobody, not even God, invented math: it was instead, discovered.

And going back to the first sentence, assuming we can convert numbers to letters through alphanumerization (e.g. a=1, b=2, c=3, j=10, y=25, z=26), this means that pi has every piece of text that was written, is currently being written, will be written, and will never be written but hypothetically exists. And removing spaces and punctuation to convert this into numbers, this blog post is in pi! The more letters I type, though, the deeper this post is in pi, most of the time. Unless I somehow smashed my keyboard and the blog post was "cadaeibf...", which translates to 3.1415926 in numbers. However, we have trouble to convert letters to numbers with letters "j" onwards, UNLESS, of course, we just decided multiple digits would take two spaces at most. Then JK would be "1011": individually, j is the 10th letter, k is the 11th.

There's also the Feynman Point: six consecutive nines in pi, which is extremely rare. According to YouTuber Yenji Jem, who is most definitely not a reliable source, after this extraordinary moment starting at the 762nd digit, going till the 767th, six consecutive nines won't happen again for another 193,000-or-so digits.

The Mandelbrot set

Ah yes, the Mandelbrot set. One of the most beautiful fractals to exist. Mandelbrot shapes nested inside the big shape are called "Minibrots", a mix of "mini", plus the surname "Mandelbrot", which was the surname of the person who discovered it: Benoit Mandelbrot, a revolutionary person for our time. And these Minibrots have their own Minibrots, which in turn have Minibrots, and the more Minibrots you try to find, the more you'll need to zoom in to look for them.

The most scary part about the fractal is that this wasn't made by Mandelbrot: he discovered it. And this could've been discovered years before. No one made such a detailed, marvelous set before, and that's what's creepy. How can math just determine such a random fractal?

Infinity - infinity does not equal 0

What if I told you infinity (∞) - infinity is not equal to zero? You know the classic rule of math, and so does everybody else: x - x = 0, right? Not for infinity! As infinity is unlimited and is (obviously) infinitely big, subtracting it by itself would still be infinity. So take it from me: Anything minus itself is 0, unless the amount in question is ∞, which I wouldn't consider a number in the slightest.

Conclusion

So there you have it! Math is among the most odd of school subjects, and I expressed my opinions toward it by giving you how pi is infinite and contains any string of letters or numbers, the Mandelbrot set and how its beauty was not developed by a human, and how infinity, subtracted by itself, is infinity. The end.
