• ... that mathematician János Bolyai was one of the founders of non-Euclidean geometry, which helped to free mathematicians to study abstract concepts irrespective of any possible connection with the physical world?

• ... that mathematician Richard Courant believed that the existence of a physical solution does not obviate mathematical proof, and that he wrote "Empirical evidence can never establish mathematical existence — nor can the mathematician's demand for existence be dismissed by the physicist as useless rigor. Only a mathematical existence proof can ensure that the mathematical description of a physical phenomenon is meaningful."?
• ... that the Flying Diner (also known as the Flying Lunch Car) is the only diner adapted for flight, and that it serves short-order breakfast and lunch in flight?
