Tomorrow, a small group of mathematicians realize that Euler's Identity has subtly changed. Scientific communities all over the world crack into factions, the majority believing that Euler's identity has not changed at all, others that the iconic proof was always incorrect, and a smaller yet very frightened faction left puzzled by how a mathematical invariant like the concept of 1 or an imaginary number can morph from one day to the next, and how the entirety of mathematics and physics must now be different. Yet, tragically, the world will refuse to change with it.
