Science in Ireland is not something that gets much coverage compared to the Arts that fill much of the Daily News papers and get supplements in the papers every week. Some people would put this down to Ireland not being a big science nation while being the nation of Joyce, Heaney and Yeats we seen […]

I went to the shop today to buy something and when I checked the ingrediants i saw that it contained the following E-Numbers.
E 260 E334, E396, E160a, E375, E163, E330, E363, E300, E101.

Say x=y
Therefore
x2 = xy.
So if you take the same from both sides.
x2 - y2 = xy - y2.
Now divide both sides by  (x-y)
We get
x + y = y
Now as x=y we can say.
2y=y
Divide by y
We get 2=1
Subtract 1from both we get
1=0.
So what is the problem with the proof? Answer tomorrow

Interestingly, a representative of a company who provide air phone technology […]
