| 1 hour ago | comment | added | Blue | @PARTHPATEL "euclid has found this long ago" This kind of thing happens to us all, as there are a lot of brilliant mathematicians ahead of us in the timeline. (I'm looking at you, Euler!) Importantly, however, the fact that someone discovered something before you is —in the words of Steve Fisk— "just an accident of Time"; it doesn't at all diminish your own accomplishment of having discovered the result yourself. So ... Congratulations! ... and keep discovering ... | |
