To say nothing in this first quatrain
That nothing in the second explain
so our Secretary be, not pi, e
Euler! sine i my refrain
Quoting Batalvi at Glassy Junction
Shiv Kumar, thy extremest unction
So scrupulous tho' the Saqi pours
As Gelassenheit yet overflows
Envoi-
Prince! Kajdar-o-marez means the impossible Duty
To so tilt the flagon naught flow but Beauty.
What does 'sine i' signify? Do you mean sinh i which is approximately 0.84? What is the numerological significance?
ReplyDeleteAlternatively, were you just plugging i into the generalization of the sine function which is sin x= e*ix− e*−ix)/ 2i. (where * is 'to the power of). Substituting i for x we get 0/2i which is undefined. However, obviously, that's a strange thing to do. Perhaps you read this on Math Stackxchange- 'Clearly, when x is complex it cannot be interpreted geometrically as an angle; however, generalized in this way, sin x becomes a holomorphic function, which is nice for a variety of other reasons. Practically, "imaginary angles" have some applications in physics. For instance, in optics, when a light ray hits a surface such as glass, Snell's law tells you the angle of the refracted beam, Fresnel's equations tell you the amplitudes of reflected and transmitted waves at an interface in terms of that angle. If the incidence angle is very oblique when traveling from glass into air, there will be no refracted beam: the phenomenon is called total internal reflection. However, if you try to solve for the angle using Snell's law, you will get an imaginary angle. Plugging this into the Fresnel equations gives you the 100% reflectance observed in practice, along with an exponentially decaying "beam" that travels a slight distance into the air. This is called the evanescent wave and is important for various applications in optics.'
Since evanescent wave solutions to Schrodinger's equation give rise to quantum tunnelling, I thought maybe that was what you were getting at.
Still, if you don't mind my saying so, the whole thing is a bit illiterate.
Sorry, obviously I meant to write 0/2i isn't undefined, it is zero. I just thought you might have got confused.
DeleteMore generally, I notice you use a lot of Mathematical sounding language on your blog. Do you actually know any Maths at all, or- like your Urdu- are you just pretending?
If so, why?
You are clearly mentally ill but why does your illness take the form of pretending to know about stuff you clearly have never studied?
I'm not trying to put you down. It's just, maybe, you yourself would be better off thinking about the answer to this question instead of abusively trolling worthwhile sites.
Jus' sayin'.
Sorry, wanted to add, if your Urdu is as good as your Math, why not leave more such comments on my Ghalib posts?
DeleteJus' askin'.
