(there is also a nice explanation by 3blue1brown in [2]):

What is the probability that the chord is longer than a side of the triangle?" >>

============================
Formal Logic <-> Symbolic Logic.
Conversely, there we have the written
point of articulation between reading
and writing: from constructive logic [*],
entailing the closure of mathematics [**],
up to and including its own self-closure
by Univalence [***].
[*] The/a formalization is (in) Coq.

WARNING: This take of mine is wrong and rather reflects my own initial misunderstanding of Einsteinian relativity. Indeed, try and do the calculations! I am leaving it here as it might reflect some common mistakes made when seeing Einsteinian relativity for the first time. I might make it into a proper introductory article at some point...

Starting from around 6:00 AM today, the Mathforum has become less and less responsive, until at 8:00 AM it has finally stopped working.
I am reposting the message here (untouched), because at the moment it doesn't appear in any other publicly available sci.math repository.
