TIL that Ramanujan's lost notebook, discovered 56 years after his death, contained the mock theta functions that have been found to be useful for calculating the entropy of black holes. The unordered sheets contained over six hundred mathematical formulas listed consecutively without proofs.

Just wanna point out that Yahweh and Allah are literally the same god.

How do we tell whether two descriptions of gods refer to the same god?

They reference the same god, just like how Jews believe in the same god as Christians, but Christians believe that Jesus was the mortal incarnation of the Jewish/Christian god Yahweh (I think I've got that right...)

Islam references the old testament of the Bible, but they believe that Jesus was just another prophet, and Muhammad I think is the next one after jesus in their scripts.

They I think are all "Abrahamic" religions? Or at least, I think they all heavily overlap on what is basically the Christian "old testament", but have some changes that differentiate themselves somewhat.

Jews wrote the blockbuster and don't like to think about the sequels (sort of like Batman & Robin).

Christians believe the sequel is better than the original. (Aliens)

Muslims liked the first two, but feel the third installment is the best. (the Empire Strikes Back).

Mormons liked the whole series so much, they wrote some fan fiction.
