Actor Claims His New Theory of Everything Improves Physics

Actors are often mistaken for people of importance.

I saw a funny quote about Howard on Reddit: He needs more drugs or less drugs but the amount he's on isn't right

The fact that I've seen several intellectual youtubers explain multiplication because of Mr. Howard is the real phenomena.

Terrence Howard should submit a paper on the Dunning Kruger effect, because he is a walking talking example squared.

Terrance is to math what Steven Seagal is to martial arts

The opposite of knowledge is not illiteracy, but the illusion of knowledge.

Howard is the perfect example of today's culture - how media and style is valued over truth and intelligence

This guy forced chat GPT to say he is indeed right, and then ask it to explain how is that. That is how that book was born

This guy got 1x1 wrong in the 3rd grade, and was so upset that his teacher corrected him, that he tried to reinvent math so he could be right.

"2 + 2 = 5, for extremely large values of 2" Used to love that joke in college

I love her take on this actor. My favorite line, "...he has an entire conspiracy theory about how Bank of America miscalculates your pennies. Oh dear".

I'm hoping my boss will use this math to figure out my paycheck

"keep your minds open, but not so open that your brains fall out.” "it is better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak up and remove all doubt."

Just please no one tell the guy about the imaginary numbers okay.

Click-ish ? I think he means "clique-ish". But what do I know, I'm no actor, only a structural engineer.

The problem is not Terrence Howard spewing nonsense to the public, it's the fact that many people are not able to understand that what he saying is nonsense. That's what's frightening. Even the people who agree with him don't understand what he is saying, but they're agreeing with him anyway because it makes them feel validated for not being able to understand math. The people who agree with him are probably thinking "ah so I wasn't bad at math, it's that math is wrong in general". The US in particular ranks so far behind in mathematics, one because education is clearly not a priority in this country and two because mathematics is taught in K-12 purely by rote memorization with no explanation for the logic behind it. You don't learn about mathematical proofs until college, which most people in this country don't get access to.

An actor belittling physicists and mathematicians is honestly a perfect reflection of modern culture.

A good example of the Dunning-Kruger effect: a person is so ignorant of a topic, that they don't realize that they are ignorant.

It’s amazing to me how nobody just goes up to him and says “man weird how all of this technology that uses physics and mathematics work on a daily basis”

"Is Rogan right? Well, he certainly knows how to multiply his pennies." What an absolute ZINGER. Well done Sabine.
