thats the most intellignt thing i heard you say since...well a few posts ago...couldnt agree more with that, very very good point...and no you cannot count to infinty, i mean that only proves that it doesnt exist...you count numbers, guess what infinty isnt a number it is an idea, a theory, that has been established...i mean if infinty does exist then the number right before infinty exists, well you tell me that number

Lupin_the_3rd · 12-9-2003, 08:39 PM

googleplex and one

makaveli121212 · 12-9-2003, 08:43 PM

no, because the number after that is googleplex and 2...that doesnt equal infinty, or can you prove me wrong

Lupin_the_3rd · 12-9-2003, 08:45 PM

googleplex and 3, then (lol i'm just messin...

it's googleplex and 4)

makaveli121212 · 12-9-2003, 08:48 PM

yeah...infinity is not a number, it's like saying forward or up...there is no end...it's a concept, not a placeholder for a number

**Cenright** · 12-9-2003, 08:53 PM

Yes. Time is just the relative rhythm of counting the passage of actions. A BENCHMARK (thanks for the term lupin).

There is nothing physical that can't be quantified; That is true.

This is where the whole god thing comes in, and since that is not part of this conversation, infinity stays as a concept and nothing more.

The same with counting. There is only mathematics that shows you the concept of infinity:
1
0

Infinity started with math and has never surpassed math. Then again, that concept has a lot of real world applications:
The biggest I can think of is derivatives.

so now that is established, lets get back to the....wait what the hell are we talkin about *looks back at previous pages* oh yeah space...and stuff

**Cenright** · 12-9-2003, 08:58 PM

This was a debate about scientific theory, and it seems we finally hit a dead end in where this topic can go.

Feuergeist · 12-9-2003, 08:58 PM

I think therefor i am.

According to that, I exist in some form, whereas you all are just "nothing"

Timeline is really good at exemplifying what we've said and demonstrates a REALLY convincing theory about time travel (previous to that i had thought timetravel was bs)

EDIT: Read the book, not the movie (movie blows)

i can see why the topics can be interesting and how it sucks to have some screw them up (ie me, vxd)...hopefully we can get some more of these

Lupin_the_3rd · 12-9-2003, 09:04 PM

I'd have to say this is one of the most intellectual and thoughtful threads (without arguing) i've seen in a long time

willson13 · 12-9-2003, 09:08 PM

Have ya'll, well specifically Cenright, ever heard of www.sciforums.com ? I used to go there quite frequently. It's awesome if you love talking about this stuff.
