Why the World’s Best Mathematicians Are Hoarding Chalk

Unprecedented footage from Costa Rica shows tiny tropical lizard (Water Anole) “breathing” from an air sac suspended atop their snouts—an apparent scuba tank that helps them stay submerged for extended periods.

As the lizards lie motionless underwater, bubbles can periodically be seen appearing above their snouts. The bubbles quickly expand in size, and then shrink. It may very well be a form of underwater respiration, in which oxygen is pulled from the recycled air bubble on the lizard’s head, though further research will be required to validate these visual observations.

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: How come Rene Descartes is only remembered as a philosopher, and the guy who said "I think therefore I am"? The Cartesian plane is NAMED after him and still only hard mathematicians know that he invented it. Also, the whole Newton/Leibniz argument completely ignores the fact that Descartes allowed both of them to discover calculus, because of his theories/ideas and invaluable work with exponents - he literally laid the foundations of calculus but no one mentions him when discussing who invented it. He even invented the modern notation of writing powers as superscripts as well as the convention of using x,y,z for variables and a,b,c for constants. Most importantly he INVENTED ANALYTIC GEOMETRY and pulled everyone's collective heads out of their collective asses. He was one of the greatest mathematicians. But yeah, a cool philosopher too, let's let "Cogito Ergo Sum" be his only legacy.
