    Ha! “Consultant / Technology Manager” – pretty sure he’s just working on the next buzzword buffet to justify his bloated comp package.

    Oh well, gives me an excuse to link this Weird Al song that makes far more sense.

        I am Indian myself, so I have a better understanding about the internet sub-culture intrinsic to my country. This is a neutral stereotype about ‘WhatsApp Unkils’. It is a counter-reaction to ageism towards younger people, whose intelligence is mocked, simply because they’re younger - the Asian culture of “elders are always right” snubs Gen-Y, Z and younger folks. Now that internet has blown up in India, old people who are literate and take pride in this sort of elitism are embarrassing themselves with their “confidently incorrect” takes on the internet.

          Basically the same is happening to boomers, e. g. in Europe, too. Also ageism is happening here too. I don’t know, how much worse it is over on your part of the planet, but here you’re also not taken seriously when you’re young

          Ok sure. I’ll endeavor to be more perfectly critical of people if that pleases you.

      Obviously the statement is obsurd. If you wanted to get super pedantic, if we let AI =√P*C and rearrange to get rid of the square root then we arrive Einstein’s full equation. E2 = (MC2 )2 + PC2. Where P is equal to the momentum of the object. Then AI is just a symbol for the energy stored in momentum. So they’re technically correct, which as we all know is the most important type of correct.

        (MC^2 + C√P)^2 wouldn’t give you that result though, because you have to FOIL.

        Instead you’d get M^(2) C^4 + 2MC^(3)√P + PC^2

        And that’s not even the correct formula. It’s

        E^2 = (mc(2))2 + (pc)^2

        You can’t just naively apply a square root unless one of the terms is vanishing (momentum for a stationary mass, giving E = mc^2, or rest mass for a massless particle, giving E = pc = hf).

        The way to remember this is that it’s equivalent to the Pythagorean theorem, A^2 + B^2 = C^(2).

        So it in fact only makes sense if AI = 0.

          In my experience, when E=mc² is written, physicists generally mean relativistic mass, making the formula extract, whereas m_0 is used for rest mass, as seen in the expansion E = m_0c² + m_0v²/2 + O(v⁴)

            Where does that expansion come from? As far as I can tell, m0v^(2)/2 only gives you the kinetic energy of the object where v << c, in which case the difference between relativistic mass and rest mass is negligible?

            And where does the O(v^4) term come from?
