An example was given of a pair of knots K_1, K_2 in the 3-sphere for which their unknotting numbers satisfy u(K_1\#K_2) < u(K_1) + u(K_2).
Read the paper: Unknotting Number is Not Additive Under Connected Sum
And here's a video for you plebs who don't understand1

I stopped using that word after attending enough free educational bullshit in public universities. Now people consider my abuse of free speech spam.
Do I feel welcome in SN yet? Yes, thanks to comments on my bio, rather than zaps on my ramblings.

One of my favorite Reddit threads was "which field of mathematics needs to die in a fire", and obviously the best nomination is that one that can be destroyed along with the educational tools and raw materials in a literal fire.

another thot actually... did ANYONE notice that the Bitcoin Knots logo has exactly 7 crossings? the flower of life also has 7 circles, repeating over and over in a fractal pattern;

in an esoteric sense, i conjecture that when someone's neuronal processes are messed up (i.e. backwards, out of order, etc), then joining up with someone who is also messed up in a different yet complementary way will un-knot the combined way of thinking; maybe...
in hermetic principles, the master hermeticist will position himself/herself on the polar opposite of the current situation in order to bring in a balanced order to the universe; that is what Star Wars and other similar allegorical movies were about; in other words, if something is messed up, one shud position himself at the other end of the spectrum in order to un-mess-up the situation;

i know some gematria, sacred geometry, and the power of musical frequencies... this knottology or nodology is a new one for me, very interesting! occult meanings of knots have to be explored;
the few knots that i know are just a few used in rock-climbing and i do not deviate from the standards - i either know how the knot works or... i don't really want to find out on accident;
now i have to accelerate the review of math and geometry, and really study it from scratch because clearly i missed out on some valuable occult ideas!

That is one useless obnoxious graphic. Bight evacuation over stretching the topological metaphor, anyday.
