The world hasn't ended

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it appears that 21 May 2011 was not the end of the world.  The man who predicted the end now claims this:
I am very bewildered. I have no answers. I don't want to talk to any reporters today.
Reportedly, many people quit their jobs, left their families, and some gave away their money to the cause: Namely, getting out the word through caravans, billboards, and pamphlets that judgment was upon us.

What measure theory is about

It's about counting, but when things get too large.
Put otherwise, it's about addition of positive numbers, but when these numbers are far too many.

The principle of dynamic programming

max_{x,y} [f(x) + g(x,y)] = max_x [f(x) + max_y g(x,y)]

The bottom line

Nuestras horas son minutos cuando esperamos saber y siglos cuando sabemos lo que se puede aprender.
(Our hours are minutes when we wait to learn and centuries when we know what is to be learnt.) --António Machado

 Αγεωμέτρητος μηδείς εισίτω.
(Those who do not know geometry may not enter.) --Plato

Sapere Aude! Habe Muth, dich deines eigenen Verstandes zu bedienen!
(Dare to know! Have courage to use your own reason!) --Kant
