{snakes} is a set. R^2 is a set of points, not of sets.

Yep, that was my first thought, too.

Also, I don't get it: snakes in the plane, on August 18, 2006? What's the joke?

There's a movie called "Snakes on a Plane" coming out in August. ;)

Well, I'm a mathemtician. What do you expect?

Seriously, though, I watch a lot of movies and tv, and listen to quite a bit of radio; I'm pretty pop culture savvy. But I've never heard of this. Weird.

It was more internet pop culture thing. Sort of like the whole Chuck Norris thing.

Not if you define "snakes" to be points, in which case {snakes} would be a set of points.

Then {snakes} would be a subset of R^2 - not an element of it.

Now, if you could define points to be sets of snakes, it would work.

couldn't you just define 'snakes' to be a single point?

(Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

[info]improvedhuman
2006-07-02 02:16 pm UTC (link)
Um... no - if 'snakes' is a point, then '{snakes}' is a set of points.
Elements of R^2 are points - not sets of points.

Screw string theory. Our "strings" are made up of coiled up snakes biting their own tails. MIDGARD SERPENT REPRESENT!

It's a drawing from Le Petit Prince. It was the closest I had to Snakes on a Plane. :) Now we could define a set such that a snake eats an elephant...

So does anyone want to prove whether {snakes} (or, more formally, {x: x is a snake}) is a subgroup of R2?

If they're adders then it's trivial.

That is great!

And on a technical note I did not know that the set of real numbers squared denoted a plane.

R2 is shorthand for the cartesian product of R with itself. Similarly, R3 is 3-space and Rn is Euclidean n-space, i.e., the set of all n-vectors with real coordinates.
