The top one may be polemical, but the bottom one seems impossible.
(However, I'm not very good with combinatorics and I'll be waiting to be proved wrong. 😅 )

Well its a bit tongue in cheek for the universe I will give you that. But yea as you might have figured out you make the equation for combinations of things from discrete and abstract it to a generalized continuous function. So while no one is actually taking combinations of half a thing, the math still works out and is actually quite useful.

God! I'm such an ignorant... Does the bottom one refer to the Basel problem?

@mc

No it refers to the gamma function, the continuous form of the factorial function.
