What I meant was infinity number of gaps. With my second equation, wouldnt y be defined in the realm of real numbers when x=1/3 and when x=2/3 and when x=1/5 and when x=8/5 etc... It appears that any x that can be expressed as a ratio in its lowest form with an odd number as the denominator will return y as a real number, there are infinity number of gaps.

Does it make sense to write: [math] y = \prod_{n=-\infty^2}^{\infty^2}\frac{x+{\tfrac{n}{\infty}}}{x+{\tfrac{n}{\infty}}} [/math] Would this create a line with infinity gaps in it? Or does it not make sense to write [math]\infty^2[/math] ? I also was curios about the curve created by this psuedo-exponential: [math]y = (-2)^x[/math] It seems to create a regular exponential above and below the axis, both with infinity gaps, and both with infinity points, this interested me, is there a name for this type of graph? Are these two equations I have posted related in any way? Thanks. - BigMoosie

If you are going to be this silly you might as well take into account the possibility of light being emmitted from a particle, orbiting a black hole and striking itself again

Try drawing it! How many connections between a point and 1 other point. According to you there will be 2: each connection has 1 connection. 1 x 2 = 2. But this is absurd, the two connections are identicle. You must realise that whenever you do [math]a(a-1)[/math] you are getting a value that has each connection twice: #----# |\ /| | \/ | | /\ | |/ \| #----# ^ 6 connections

There is no temperature in space, but atoms can be heated by the electromagnetic waves from the sun. I dont know why you are under the impression that there is heat there, perhaps if you word your current understanding better I may be able to tell you where you are wrong.

That is interesting about ending up where you start from, I see what you mean. But I am trying to visualise the sphere still. If a hyper-plane was cutting the 3-sphere slowly from one end to the other. Me being in the hyper-plane would see a regular sphere appear, grow and then reach a maximum and shrink back down into a point?

Does it make sense to say that two points is a zero-sphere? I read that an n-spehere is the structure made from all the points being exactly the same radius from a single point in (n+1) dimensions (thats of the top of my head). But also shouldnt the resulting structure be of n-dimensions itself? I'm not sure whether two points would be called 0 dimensional would it? Also, could one visualise a 3-sphere (picturing it with 3 spatial dimensions and the fourth as time) as a point that grows to a sphere and then shrinks back down?

The thing about deep blue is that it discards paths that are not looking good, it also build statistics on what makes a good layout without having to apply much thought to it. Also, it doesnt have to think about every move as half of them it can control, the other half it cant, that changes things alot.

This is very interesting, thankyou for your knowledge woelen. These insights have sparked several other questions I am pondering. Is it possible for something to have a valency of between two integers [eg 0.5+] or do we just say it is a particularly unreactive particle of valency 1 ? More Q but midnight here, cya tomorrow!

But what if I try to double my speed at 2c/3 ? I know that supposedly my mass is increasing so it takes more energy but would I be aware of that? Would I think I double my speed from 2c/3 to 4c/3 (or really from my reference frame 0 to 2c/3 again?) while an onlooker sees me increase speed only slightly? I am fairly new to this relativity concept and am trying to get my head around what different observers experience happen at high velocities.

How do we work out the valencies of such radicals as [math]SO_4[/math]? Do most compounds have valencies or just radicals? I always thought that for something to have a valency it would have a desire to gain or lose electrons, I cant see how a compound would do that... it just doesnt seem to make sence, once it is a compound it should be satisfied. Hope somebody can help me clear this up.

If I am going at c/2 then I try to double my speed, I will think it gets doubled but in reality it is now going 3c/4 or similar ?

A simple explaination: [math]i[/math] will be our imaginary constant. [math]\sqrt{i} = a + bi[/math] All solutions can be expressed like that where [math]a[/math] and [math]b[/math] are real numbers. [math]i = a^2 - b^2 + 2abi[/math] We can break that apart into 2 equations, with the reals in one and the imaginaries in the other, we get: (I) [math] 0 = a^{2} - b^{2}[/math] and (II) [math] i = 2abi[/math] (II) [math] 1 = 2ab[/math] Normal algebraic manipulation with (I) and (II) using quadratic formula and such will conclude that: [math]a = \frac{1}{2}[/math] and [math]b=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/math] Thus [math]\sqrt{i} = \tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/math]

It was influenced by the Babylonians, they used 60 as their base number, that is the reason we have 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and they also like 360 because it was roughly the time of a year but they rounded to that to keep in sync with their number system well. I believe it is a terrible unit for dividing a circle regardless of how less it creates fractions. One revolution should equal 1 degree should equal 1 centi-degree.

No Many sites offer an estimate close to [math]10^{80}[/math] for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atoms#Atoms_in_the_universe_and_our_world. This could easily be beaten by the number of games in chess. Imagine, on the first move you have 12 options, later at times you may have about 30 or more, it is common for games to go to 50 full moves (50 for white, 50 for black), it can be seen from this that just up to that number, at the least would have [math]12^100[/math] options, that already exceeds the atoms... ...just looked up wolfram, he thinks it is [math]10^{10^{50}}[/math]: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Chess.html Points in space being connected is the same as points on a plane being connect so must follow the tringaular formula of [math]t={{a(a-1)}/2}[/math]

Ok, just a basic question here, no matter what my reference frame, can I always double my perceived speed?

And: Niether can any of the Noble gases.

Definantly no, can you imagine what kind of security issues that would raise if people had access to the source code?

If space got larger, I would expect every single particle to get larger also, is there proof that the galaxies aren't expanding themselves? It would be such a small increase on this scale so I wouldn't expect any measurements to be able to detect that. If the galaxies arent getting larger with space, then wouldn't that mean that there is new energy in the form of GPE ?

Sorry, I didnt think about that, it has been too long for me too edit the above posts but I edited that one... to quote me, just select the text on your screen and manually enter a:

Oh, yeah, I wasnt thinking properly about inertia and that. As for the colour spectrum... what kind of fool would do that manually? I spent 5 minutes writing a script to do it for me, now I can type in colour everywhere I go!

Ok, now I'm on level 9, how do I fake my referrer?

Nup, I got nothing, I just wanna hack some javaScript, not frigg around looking for some stupid clue, the only odd thing I can find is that the password box on the previous page has a reset button instead of a submit button.
