/prog/ Challenge #1256 - Monstrous Moonshine

Name: Anonymous 2013-08-02 22:50

Write a program (in LISP, of course), that has something to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monstrous_moonshine

Math and Lisp are Jewish tools to put down the goyim.

I don't understand your article. WTF is Generalized Kac–Moody algebras? What is string theory?

Are these names algorithmically generated or something?

Is it possible for such a program to do anything useful?

My "I don't give a shit" understanding is: we have this finite simple group that has the largest order known. There's a complex-valued function (which represents an elliptic curve) whose series expansion yields coefficients that correspond to the dimensions of matricies that we can use to generate elements of said group through matrix multiplication.

I genuinely have no idea. The guy who proved this connection won a Fields Medal. If someone finds something cool, you can probably publish a paper. To be honest though, this isn't really interesting to me at all. RSA being secure is more mathematically interesting to me than this.

Apparently it's useful to string theory, which I don't know anything about, except that it has apparently provided no useful experimental results which, I think, is the point of physics. It all strikes me as applying mathematical tools to physical theory that someone else created and then calling yourself a genius. I'm ignorant, however, so that's a non-professional opinion.

Meh.

Therefore you need to change the challenge somewhat. The only question the protocol should answer is: are you compatible?

When Ogg heard about the Monster group later on, and noticed that these were precisely the prime factors of the size of M, he published a paper offering a bottle of Jack Daniel's whiskey to anyone who could explain this fact.
Is this offer still open?
