  • Maybe it’s not universal but in school literal equation basically meant there were letters instead of numbers.

    It’s the term we use for instance when going from the equation of a line like y=3x+2 to lines in general y=ax+b (a and b in ℝ)

    And i agree it’s a lot better to specify to solve for x (because you can solve for anything or have multiple variables).

    Although x being a variable, and solving for it would be the most logical assumption.




  • For distance and mass, zero means no distance and no mass.

    For temperature though having none means no kinetic energy of atoms/molecules. It’s absolute zero, the zero Kelvin. So the other units are the weird ones.

    But since zero Kelvin isn’t a phenomenon you’ll ever encounter in nature, it makes Kelvin a pretty unappealing scale for everyday life.

    And thus we started making shit up…

    P.S. My bad Rankine also shakes hands with Kelvin about absolute zero, very demure, very mindful.









  • In what cafes and sandwich shop do you go to? I’ve never seen one that was closed during launch hours.

    It’s getting rarer but their is some that only open in launch hours instead of the whole afternoon, restaurant can have some specific services hours. (And some cafes stop serving drinks while serving food.)

    French culture is to eat at specific hours, so it would be almost impossible to serve food only outside those.
