Has The Poincare Conjecture Been Solved?
Zack Coburn writes "An article in the Boston Globe alludes to the Poincare Conjecture being solved, possibly. For those who are unfamiliar with the conjecture, the article gives a brief description: "To solve it, one would have to prove something that no one seriously doubts: that, just as there is only one way to bend a two-dimensional plane into a shape without holes -- the sphere -- there is likewise only one way to bend three-dimensional space into a shape that has no holes. Though abstract, the conjecture has powerful practical implications: Solve it and you may be able to describe the shape of the universe." Apparently Grigory Perelman may have proved it, which would mean a $1 million award from the Clay Mathematics Institute." We've previously discussed other possible Poincare proofs.
I'm sorry, but...no wait, I'm not sorry, and you're wrong - and an idiot.First of all, I never used the word "invented". However, QED is important to understanding semiconductors. Particularly, diode lasers take advantage of quantum wells which are governed by rules of QED. In fact, our understanding of semiconductors is based on interactions between electrons and hole charges, for which the mathematics involved in Diracs work with charges applies.
As for "time dependant behaviors", that is about the deformation of a surface over time. The mathematics involved in Poincaire's conjecture (and similar calculus) is useful for n-dimensional calculations allowing for complex folding. Such tensors are already used in complex chemistry to explain folding of proteins.
I tried to make a generalized statement. Apparently it was too generalized, and I have to connect the dots for fucktards like you. What kills me is your shitty attitude. It's clear that you need to be ass-raped dry with a cactus to relieve all that repressed homosexual tension you're carrying deep inside.
