Chuck Norris

As I travel the world, it seems that younger people identify me merely with some of the folklore in the 'Chuck Norris Facts' - those hyperbolic sayings that elevate my abilities beyond my capabilities. Others view me in light of the character I played in 'Walker, Texas Ranger' or in one of my 20 tough-guy films.

The rap against Tesla has always been of the 'yes, but' variety. Yes, it's a fine artisanal designer and manufacturer of electric cars, and its CEO is one of the few business leaders alive for whom the label 'visionary' isn't hyperbolic.

American Editor

Mauro Ranallo

It's a daily struggle for me to stay alive. I don't mean to be melodramatic, hyperbolic, or go into my broadcast mode. But even that, my career is bipolar.

Canadian Entertainer

Clint Smith

I'm not sure that there are days of my life when I'm not confronted with racism. For some, that may seem hyperbolic, but it's true.

American Writer

Josh Gondelman

I tweeted that Tom Brady's politics are 'garbage,' which may have been hyperbolic.

American Author

David Berman

Fan reaction is so out-sized and hyperbolic in rock music compared to other arts.

American Musician

Ajit Pai

Hyperbolic headlines always attract more attention than mundane truths.

American Public Servant

Maryam Mirzakhani

In particular, I am interested in understanding hyperbolic surfaces.

Iranian Mathematician

Brett Gelman

I like being strange. I like being hyperbolic and surreal.

Howard Jacobson

Box-set culture inclines to the hyperbolic.

British Novelist

Used to create a strong impression but not meant to be taken literally.

Figurative Use

Often used to provoke emotions like humor, irritation, or shock in the listener.

Emotional Effect

Common in creative writing and speeches to emphasize a point.

Literary Device

Associated with non-Euclidean geometry, which shapes understanding of our universe.

Geometric Concept

Requires advanced knowledge in mathematics to fully grasp the concept.

Abstract Understanding

In the Cartesian plane, a hyperbolic curve has two symmetrical branches.

 Scott Models help us design more effective institutions and policies. We get unbelievable segregation. Scott So Bush imagined that in the future, you'd wear a camera right in the center of your head. Mitchell Mills wants the student of sociology to develop the quality of mind Hanging cable takes on the form of a hyperbolic cosine. Nick For each pixel in the image, set the red to zero.

 Flat surfaces behave one way, while positively and negatively curved surfaces display very different characteristics. At first these alternative geometries seemed strange, but were soon found to be equally adept at describing the world around us. Navigating our planet requires elliptical geometry while the much of the art of M.C. Escher displays hyperbolic geometry.

 So, very interesting parallels between the biological and the engineering worlds. And interestingly, this turns out -- the stomatopod saddle turns out to be the first described biological hyperbolic paraboloid spring. That's a bit long, but it is sort of interesting.
