Quod Erat Demonstrandum, "which was to be proved."
- zerostar07 15y agoI think he was being sarcastic, and i think it's because strlen(quantum)/strlen(eris) is much closer to the golden ratio than "quod erat". "Quantum electrodynamics" is another famous acronym that follows the golden ratio (+- 30%)
