Break the meta by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
To break the meta means to find a new strategy that offers a significant advantage over the existing meta.

Akiyo Noguchi asks the rules while climbing! | Beta Break Ep.1 by Albert Ok (2020)
Source. Happened at the 2015 IFSC Climbing World Cup during the Haiyang, China, bouldering event. The author has a playlist of such climbing meta breaks. In climbing, the meta is called "the beta". Climbing competitions are perhaps the sport in which the meta is broken the most often, since each stage is unique.

The Lovász conjecture is a well-known conjecture in combinatorial discrete mathematics, specifically in the field of graph theory. Proposed by László Lovász in 1970, the conjecture pertains to the structure of edge-coloring in a certain class of graphs known as Kneser graphs. To explain the conjecture, we first need to define Kneser graphs.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there is no widely recognized individual or entity named Anton Sushkevich. It is possible that Anton Sushkevich could refer to a private individual or a lesser-known figure in a specific field, such as business, academia, or arts, but without additional context, it is difficult to provide specific information.
Karl Z. Morgan was an influential American health physicist known for his work in radiation safety and public health, particularly in relation to the effects of ionizing radiation. He is often recognized for his advocacy for health protection standards and for serving as a strong proponent of the ethical responsibility of scientists and institutions regarding environmental and public health issues. Morgan played a significant role in the establishment of many safety protocols and standards related to radiation exposure.
David Vanderbilt is a prominent condensed matter physicist known for his contributions to the fields of materials science and computational physics, particularly in the development of methods for electronic structure calculations and studying the properties of materials. He has been a professor at Princeton University and is recognized for his work on the theoretical understanding of materials, including the development of software tools for simulating the electronic properties of solid-state systems.
David Caminer is a noted figure in the field of computing and is best recognized for his contributions to the development of early computer systems and software. He played a significant role in the evolution of data processing and has been associated with various projects related to the application of computing in business and scientific domains.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
