I'm by no means a mathologist or anything but I'm calling bullshit. Something times 8 is infinity? C'mon

e^(i pi/2) rotates a point 90 deg around the unit circle. The joke is that it simply rotated 8 by 90 degrees.

Ok. That's great, stupid joke. I love it

Sometimes, humans should not be allowed to play with numbers. This is one of those times.

I'm missing the joke.

The joke is that 8 lying down (ie, rotated by 90°) is ∞

e shot 8, now 8 is dead.

I did not know that

If I weren’t already sitting down, I’d fall over too when presented with this equation.

Thanks, I hate it.
