"The surface integral of a vector is equal to the volume integral of its divergence."
Seems to hard to understand, isn't it? Actually, this is a concept in mathematical physics known as Gauss' Theorem. In more complicated terms, it is a relation of the surface integral of a vector to its divergence integrated in terms of the volume. Well, a person who knows some elementary calculus may understand this further.
At one side of equality, the vector is integrated in terms of the area. In simpler terms, it is integrated twice. However, at the other side, it is already integrated with respect to volume (or integrated thrice). But, when this theorem was derived, in order to preserve the equality with respect to the area, a divergence appeared on the side of the triple integral. And as this talk gets more complicated, does this relate to our lives?
Well, in layman's view, it does not. This only applies to the matters of the intellectuals in the physical sciences. But looking deeper, we see that it relates. Let us say that we ourselves represent the vector being integrated. From time to time, we admit that we can never stop ourselves from being integrated. But, when this integration is forced in the wrong way, the function becomes degraded. And so, trying to make one's self look superior in comparison to others just degrades his or her personality or appearance.
From this day on, this theorem just tells us to be ourselves and stay humble. And so we call this the Gauss Theorem of social status.

By the way, congratulations to Dr. Christopher Monterola for his excellent air time. Sir, I might not have been able to here your air time last night. But as I have heard, you had a good time with Tado and the gang in discussing love and consistency in terms of gravity and relativity. The whole physics community wishes you to keep inspiring more students not only to like but also to stay in this course. Again, congratulations!
