assigning an arbitrary symbol to a long-held mathematical idea is in no way grounds for praise. I have come up with a ground-breaking exciting new math theory too. from now on I'm going to use the symbol "i" for the square root of -1. Or, better yet, I'm going to use the symbol ^ to represent the answer to the origin of the universe. WOOHOO! I just discovered the secrets to existence.
existence = ^
can I get a medal now?
