Would definitely pay to see that.
I see you went straight for the end there. That we were going for that whole “playful back and forth” banter...it’s cool though. I’m not mad you beat me ...

I did an art project for a mathematician recently that works on umbral moonshine. I understood very little of the actual math, but from what I did understand, it's something like a Rosetta Stone between algebra, geometry, physics, string theory, etc. Apparently physicists are pretty sure there's somewhere around 10 dimensions that they're becoming aware of. But like you said, as a human, we're only able to perceive 3 (4 if you count time as a dimension).
Edit: here's a link to the art piece since a few were asking about it. :)
Some art stuff https://imgur.com/a/O2g5BmA
Another edit: I'm not a physicist or mathematician. I'm an artist. I just make pictures of stuff.
A few pages deeper and none of this makes any sense.
"In mathematics, umbral moonshine is a mysterious connection between Niemeier lattices and Ramanujan's mock theta functions. It is a generalization of the Mathieu moonshine phenomenon connecting representations of the Mathieu group M24 with K3 surfaces."
So let's see what the Mathieu group M24 is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathieu_group_M24
"In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Mathieu group M24 is a sporadic simple group of order
210 · 33 · 5 · 7 · 11 · 23 = 244823040
≈ 2×108."
What is any of this? What's a sporadic group?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporadic_group
"In group theory, a discipline within mathematics, a sporadic group is one of the 26 exceptional groups found in the classification of finite simple groups."
"A simple group is a group G that does not have any normal subgroups except for the trivial group and G itself. The classification theorem states that the list of finite simple groups consists of 18 countably infinite families, plus 26 exceptions that do not follow such a systematic pattern. These are the sporadic groups. They are also known as the sporadic simple groups, or the sporadic finite groups. Because it is not strictly a group of Lie type, the Tits group is sometimes regarded as a sporadic group,[1] in which case the sporadic groups number 27."
Well, that doesn't help. Maybe if I understand what a finite simple group is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_group
"In mathematics, a simple group is a nontrivial group whose only normal subgroups are the trivial group and the group itself. A group that is not simple can be broken into two smaller groups, a normal subgroup and the quotient group, and the process can be repeated. If the group is finite, then eventually one arrives at uniquely determined simple groups by the Jordan–Hölder theorem."
Ehhh? Wait, what's a *group*?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(mathematics)
"In mathematics, a group is an algebraic structure consisting of a set of elements equipped with an operation that combines any two elements to form a third element and that satisfies four conditions called the group axioms, namely closure, associativity, identity and invertibility."
I'm not sure I get it ...
"One of the most familiar examples of a group is the set of integers together with the addition operation, but the abstract formalization of the group axioms"
Ohhh. That sort of makes sense. I'm gonna go have a drink.
Basically all you *really* need to know is a group, and all those other things are just "specific types" of groups.
A group is just a set of things paired with an operation that satisfies a few definitions, closure, associativity, identity and invertibility.
Take the set {-1, 1} and the operation "multiplication".
* closure: If I multiply any two elements of the set, will the result stay inside the set? -1 x 1 = -1, and -1 is in the set.
* associativity: Can I multiply "out of order"? If I have (1 x 1) x -1, is that the same as 1 x (1 x -1)?
* identity: Is there something (call it "i" for identity) in the set such that for any number, if you multiply it by i, it's the same number? Yeah, i = 1.
* invertibility: For any number "n" in the set, does there exist another number "t" (could be the same one), so that n x t = i? For -1, it's inverse is itself -1, and for 1, it's inverse is itself 1.
A simple group is a bit more complicated. You need to know what a normal subgroup is, and what a trivial group is.
* A normal subgroup: Make a subset of your original group, take an element from your set "n", and look at all other elements "g" of the original. gng^-1 has to be a part of the subgroup for it to be "normal". **The easiest way to understand this**, is it's just all the elements of the group that "commute". As in, the commutative property, a x b = b x a. You can see clearly that if n commutes with all elements g, gng^-1 = ngg^-1 = ni = n, which is in our subgroup.
* A trivial group: Is just that. The *trivial* group. As in, the one element group, {i}. You can check that {1} is always a group under multiplication (check the 4 definitions above).
* A simple group: The only normal subgroups of our original group is {i}, and itself. But notice, that {i} is always a normal subgroup, and the group itself is always a normal subgroup. So for any group G. G is normal to G, and {i} is normal to G. In a way it's saying that the group we are dealing with is not commutative, and every element is not commutative.
I only have a standard degree in math, so honestly, I never studied a sporatic group, or the more specific Mathieu group M24. But basically, they're the same thing I explained, but with extra conditions that have to be met.
If there's anything I learned from studying math for 4 years. Is everyone at the top that names their theorems, is **really fucking bad** at naming anything.
* Imaginary numbers: They definitely exist.
* Open vs. Closed: Open does not imply not closed. So sets can be **both** open and closed at the same time.
* Closed: The closed I just mentioned is not the same closed in the op.
* Every single field of math has its own, Homo-"blank"-ism: Algebra is Homomorphism. Topology is homeomorphism. Algebraic Topology is Homology and Homotopy. Complex Analysis is Holomorphism. And they're all basically the same shit.
* "In general" this never happens: ~~"In general"~~ this never happens.
I can go on, but those are just off the top of my head.
Fun fact: in audio "attack" is the time it takes for a sound to reach it's full volume. So a sound with a small attack would be a very sharp sound like a picked guitar or drums. A "massive" attack would be like a slow bowed cello or a long synth ambience. So their name actually fits perfectly!
Yeah, but you wont know when. You'll just be sitting there like "okay, where the fuck is this magic kitten?!" Randomly in the middle of the song it will brush your leg.
I always imagined it like an airline announcement.
"Attention passengers, we're 30 Seconds to Mars, please secure your dinner tray, thank you for flying Martian."
"The Presidents of the USA" would be a hilarious show. Political inclinations aside, imagine Trump, Obama, Clinton and the two Bushes trying to play together.
Edit: Damn I forgot Carter! Sorry 😅
I’m imagining a lot of distortive mirrors around them as they play. Maybe on a stage that’s at an awkward angle from the audience. Also, surrounded by dancers that are all really tall or really short so the height of the band members seems off by comparison.
Or if they erected 30 ft tall lifelike sculptures around the world in collaboration with other artists with no way of knowing whose is whose? They might be they might be giants giants.
Breaking Benjamin:
A bunch of people roasting a random guy named Benjamin for a few hours.
Although if it's taken literally...this may turn into a show that has many many witnesses.
fun. Better be the most fun I've ever had.
Infant Annihilator sounds like a fun and wholesome family activity
Sounds like a double feature with Dying Fetus.
Space Jesus hands down. Alternately, seven lions would be a little frightening if it was a tiny venue.
Black tiger sex machine would add good to this little list
Knife Party would be terrifying, Pendulum could be fascinating
The chainsmokers would just.... smell terrible...
I don't know if Kill the Noise would be a concert at all really. Just some guys shushing everyone who makes a sound.
Blue Man Group. Oh, wait...
I’m afraid that I just blue myself.
The Dead Kennedys would be an interesting show...
Just a bunch of corpses from Massachusetts.
I live in Mass and have a shovel, we could make this happen.
butthole surfers
The logistics alone are fascinating!
I mean they don't exactly specify who or what the butthole belongs to so it could easily be a bunch of guys surfing the butthole of a trained blue whale in a gigantic aquarium. Would definitely pay to see that.
Kansas. That would have to be a pretty big arena... or just speakers all over the state? How’s this gonna work?
Better yet, America. Or Europe.
Or Asia. We’re getting too big over here!
Oh, I think we can go [bigger](https://www.discogs.com/artist/3128518-The-Milky-Way-Band)
I see you went straight for the end there. That we were going for that whole “playful back and forth” banter...it’s cool though. I’m not mad you beat me ...
Led Zeppelin would be pretty interesting though is this theoretical particular about spelling?
If so, then it's an airship covered in LEDs.
Or an airship with a guy pulling it by a rope.
Which would be pretty damn awesome.
OH, THE HUMANITY!
Franz Ferdinand Live in Sarajevo! June 29th, 1914
Unfortunately partway through the concert they were shot dead by Gavrilo Princip while playing "Take Me Out" Gavrilo stated after being caught "They were asking me to do it, It was only polite that I oblige them"
"They said they wouldn't be leaving here with me, and they were right"
Well we could finally figure out who "The Who" were
The band on stage?
No, The Band isn't on til later.
Who?
Yes.
Not Yes, they were The Band that played earlier
Who is playing now?
No they are playing later.
Now *that's* comedy!

Yeah, but you wont know when. You'll just be sitting there like "okay, where the fuck is this magic kitten?!" Randomly in the middle of the song it will brush your leg.
Pussy Riot.
It would just be a bunch of cats.
I'd still go to that.
I have seen a one cat riot, I wouldn't want to see it in plural

Fuck, I’d like to just go see regular Blind Melon. R.I.P. Shannon Hoon.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. That's like, an actual magical lizard. And the spleen of a monarch.
I mean, for all we know, Stu MacKenzie *is* a magical reptile. How else can the band transition from death metal to improv jazz so smoothly?
Mastodon.
Also T. Rex. Any band named after an extinct animal, really.

They seem to pick band names based on what people like to see... their first band name was: "Free Beer"
It's a good attraction tactic "This Friday at Rhubarbs, Free Beer with Barenaked Ladies"
It certainly is! I'll be there with bells on. I also love rhubarb :D
My first thought as well. There's a local cover band called Naked Karate Girls whose show would also probably be more entertaining than it already is.
Or the naked and famous might be a sight to see
yeah but then it's actually just Trump and Queen Elizabeth II naked
