  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Keanu Reeve wrote a comic called BRZRKR, about an 80,000 year old warrior.

At one point he tells someone that he's forgotten how many different languages he's spoken over the years, but he's sure he learned calculus at least three times.

Is Zeno’s paradox (which we only read from second or third hand accounts) anything but the discovery of limit based calculus?

In the arrow paradox, Zeno states that for motion to occur, an object must change the position which it occupies. He gives an example of an arrow in flight. He states that at any one (durationless) instant of time, the arrow is neither moving to where it is, nor to where it is not.

Sounds a lot like lim h->0 [f(t+h) - f(t)]/h to me.

If you assume an idiot recorded this from second hand accounts, this is calculus.
