yeah, otherwise atoms and whatnot would get bigger too... plus it wouldn't seem any different things are just spreading out, as far as I know

no, the density will indeed be double. This is a very important aspect, although it can sometimes be hard to grasp. Imagine there are an infinite # of red and blue marbles, and a 2/3 chance of getting a red marble by randomly sampling this population. This means there are twice as many red as blue marbles, but there are infinite of both.

technically we can't know because of random chance

infinity-infinity depends on the infinities. It's not that simple

The probability would probably be lower than that, because if it is on its side it would stay there, while the edge is very unstable... Very low probability of it happening, but it happens ps: did you make that avatar lyssia? I like it

oh. Now I see how to read the spoilers, and it makes sense

you know, I just don't get it

depends, what's the temperature in the room?

I'm a pretty religious dude and I saw GOD IS NOWHERE like YT said, probably doesn't reveal anything about the person's beliefs

wow, this thread is really confusing if you don't read the spoilers

yeah, gravity is a constant pull, but other forces counter this force

If we have the energy, somehow converting it to ATP would just cause a loss of energy. It would be more efficient to use the energy directly. lone electrons are not used to create ATP. Glucose is converted into pyruvate which is converted to NADH through the krebs cycle. Next, the energy of the NADH molecules are used to create ATP by creating a photon gradient across the inner membrane of mitochondria. The energy held by this gradient is then used to make ATP by phosphorylating ADP. It would not be so simple as using an electrical current

that's an interesting thought - a universe that is not cyclic but repetitive, repeating its history over and over. I don't know though, seems like random chance would create an entirely new universe every time through

I understand your argument that logically, how could something cease to exist? I personally do not believe the universe can or will end, but that is just speculation. My point is that the universe may not act in the logical way we think it does, and we cannot really apply our rules to it.

yeah, that's what I was trying to say. Infinity isn't a number, it just means something goes on forever. So infinity+infinity=infinity, so it would be possible to have infinite time in the future and in the past.

google also works by seeing who links to your site. A new site will get hardly any traffic and few links, so it won't show up on google. You need to build up your site to get it on google. My stat/calc teacher's math site is the first one on google when you type his name, and it's a pretty common name, because it has good info and people use it

that doesn't seem like a good way to go about it. The problem has two answers, so it's not necessarily one, and we're not trying to equate those sides, just factor one equation

well, for one thing there can be no multiples of five, because there would be no possibility of ending in 2... There's probably an elegant way to figure this out but I don't see it yet

got me

ok

infinite doesn't mean all. there are an infinite number of letter combinations using abcdefghi (with repeats) but none of them make the word "slap" One shouldn't think of passing through individual # positions as we travel through space, but of ranges. For example, we spend 1 second between point 0 and 10, 1/10 seconds between 0 and 1, 1/1000 seconds between 0 and 1/100, and as we approach a point, we essentially spend no time there. ...That was a horrible explanation, perhaps someone else will do a better job

well I oversimplified the problem for clarity, but I think I've just muddled things. It was a bent paper clip (think of an L), and it could land with one side up or both sides on the ground. However, one time I flipped it and neither side was on the ground, but the paperclip was balanced on the tips

sorry, I don't know what a one time pad is. It's based on an algorithm, but what isn't? Do you want more text?

I am not lying. I was absolutely astounded by it, but it happened, with a normal flip and a normal clip. I couldn't even make it balance like that by placing it.
