What does the last line actually mean ? " It doesn't need to remain secret because nobody will believe that it exists in either case. Ewige blumenkraft." Jay 06:21, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I've removed the following text:
Secret Society
The Order of Magnitude is also a secret society. A branch of the Illuminati. Its method of controlling the academia is to invent imaginary fields of science so that brain power won't be used on a real field, in which advancement might some day threaten the Illuminati. Artificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, and Cellular Automata are all examples of these ruse fields. It doesn't need to remain secret because nobody will believe that it exists in either case. Ewige blumenkraft.
I assume that the meaning of the second-to-last sentence is that this "secret society" is such a ridiculous idea that nobody would believe it even if it did exist and even if its existence was published. Which is true. "Ewige Blumenkraft" is German for (approximately) "flower power forever", and is a motto of the Illuminati secret society in the novel Illuminatus!. Onebyone 10:39, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)
100 CM
100 cm is missing from this page. Where it should fit in I'm not sure, though... I'm too lazy to do the math, I just noticed it, sorry. Pakaran. 23:56, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Lining up of different quantities
In a square, can two areas correspond to one side length? In a cube, can three volumes correspond to two side areas?
The lining up of different quantities is not really accurate here, and is difficult to verify because of the ridiculous number of different units being used.
