A group of humans united in perverse study of totally abstract formalisms had the idea that somewhere in a theoretical world, utterly disconnected from any known mode of physical or experiential reality, something truly obscure that, temporal/philosophical zeitgeist permitting, may have 'always' been true may in fact now have finally been noticed, or, on the other hand, may not... it may just be a dream
Meanwhile, in a flash of brilliance leading to a derived work of equal philosophical substance, I posit that the sum of the digits of the largest integer which cannot be expressed as the sum of four nonnegative integral cubes is exactly 60, and that this may be evidence of a relationship between the sets of signed integral dervied multi-dimensional primitives and the sum of their maximum component digits.
Genuinely curious as to your reasoning there. Why use a definite article when discussing a body of knowledge or field of endeavor? Sure, people say "the social sciences" but they also say "social science", "carpentry", "cleaning".
Therefore, if your comment was serious then I think this is a red-handed example of the maths field being snooty. :)
I was joking. You know, he's doing this purposely rambling, intricate (satirical) talk, for the purpose of mocking what he finds to be the irrelevance of the subject mathematical discovery.
Then someone (presumably from the math camp) comes along and unwittingly responds only to a tiny trivial detail, in a manner that is as meaningless as the parent believes the discovery itself to be.
Ahem. So...I guess it's not a very good joke if it has to be explained, but I got a kick out of it!

Ahh, how I wish I had studied maths.
