sun's light radiates in all directions. It's not really a point source...

Uh... Turing Complete? Universal Turing Machine? no idea what that is... lol ecoli: they can calculate far faster then us, but they can't think more intelligently then us... they don't really even think, (yet )

ugh... trig identities, hated these things so much lol

I don't believe computers will ever be able to become more intelligent then ourselves. Of course this is based that computers could never become sentient... if they could... well thats a hole other kettle of fish lol but yah, computers as they are, are nothing but calculating machines. Nothing that can even be compared to humanity when you look at real intelligence...

Hi all. Well seems a little late for me to introduce myself since I already have 100+ posts to my name, but what the hell lol. I'm a 17 year old interested in physics, astronomy, evolution and pretty much most general science. Come from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. nicknamed "Winterpeg" for good reason seeing as its pretty much considered winter half the year (our first snow fell in september lol. We've had blizzards in may, last year there was one in june! ha). Can't wait to see you all at the forums (or if I already have seen you, hello again!). ~CanadaAotS (also know as Chris... or is it the other way around? lol)

makes a little bit of sense at least... since most "electrical devices" they we have all work on 60 Hz of electricity and some people's skin could be self resonant at 60 Hz... but where it breaks down is how 60 Hz of electricity can somehow transfer into the skin and vibrate it at all? How's this supposed to happen exactly? YT: lol, I got through though's "levels of BS" by skimming around. Wouldn't be able to take if full on lol

yah, and 0.0001 is not a number that exists, so you'll have a hard time giving an actual number. funny how this thread is called "Ending the 0.999~ = 1 debates" since this debate will obviously not end no matter how many proofs showing that 0.999~ does = 1 are presented...

A toaster wouldn't melt the magnet since it would not get nearly hot enough and at best would just injure you in some way (as nevermore was saying). The main magnet metal is iron right?

Curios: thats the entire point, the 99.999% certainty would not contain any uncertainty and be equal to 100%.

Something absorbent? lol same idea as a tatoo, if it was just on top of your skin the first time you took a shower it'd just wash off. Instead it's inside the skin. so maybe when they print the paper they get it inside the paper instead of the outside?

hey all well just to start I use visual c++ with programming I was just fooling around with a program (I also just recently learned all about derivatives in calculus). I decided to make myself a lil' derivative calculating program, but I only know how to program c++ where your using the stupid dos-like box (forget what its called). Anyways, so I got it to work, but its really not very good, you have to input each part of the beginning function individually (say 2x^3 you'd have to specify the 2 and the 3). Also the terms had to be inputed individually, and displaying the derivative afterwards was hell lol. So just so non-calculus knowing ppl can help to the derivative of any function is: [math] y = ax^n [/math] [math] y' = (a*n)x^{n-1} [/math] Where y' is the derivative. So all these limitations are bad, but to add say product, quotient and chain rules to with derivatives makes it even stupider lol any help would be appreciated! I have my source file attached... derivative.txt

wow. all I can say. you sure put a helluva lot of thinking into this... I don't even fully understand it, but I can see potential to explain many aspects of the universe. When I was reading through it, some of the first questions that popped into my head was 'what are the faces of the cube?' and 'what about the edges?' hope to see the next installments to this theory (as it really looks to be a full fledged theory) even if I don't completely understand them lol. I have a question though, could you better explain what exactly happens at the center of the cube?

uh, you say 0.0001% failure exists... well it doesn't. You can't have repeating zero's, then a 1. If it could equal anything it would be 0. Which would just prove the point that it'd be a 0% failure and that 99.9% = 100%.

http://stripe.colorado.edu/~yulsman/Instanton1.html I love this idea of an "instanton" lol, plus the false vacuum bubble blowing up into the universe is cool too... either way its better then having a 'singularity' since thats no good (apparently).

There was also the prediction that gravitons are actually "closed loop" strings, that weren't attached to our 3-D universe "brane" so could exit to higher dimensional space... This is supposed explain a) why gravity is so weak b) dark matter as dark matter is supposed to be gravity escaping into our universe from another. They even propose to test it with the LHC by trying to find gravitons, and to see if they just 'disappear' right after the collision. This would mean they are escaping from our universe and would support String Theory.

I thought it was when the core turns into iron that fusion can no longer proceed, and the star died. Blows up into a red giant shedding off its gas or something... could be wrong but it sounds familiar to me

are emeralds aluminum oxide too? and what of other gems, I dont really know what any of them are made of 'cept diamonds (carbon of course)...

quoting from yt's site there... "...surrounded by a large number of low frequency devices, devices all operating around 60Hz." Well, isn't electricity ran at 60 Hz? If people are hearing this "hum" around power lines... lol

If anything you are only able to see into time, not space. You can never now whats happening instantly, technically the photons hitting my eyes from the computer screen took time to reach it. The guy who said that the shape of the universe will evolve as we evolve was very right. Say we evolve to be able to see something that is entirely invisible now? That would utterly change the view of the universe. Time, Space, everything we see is produced from our senses. All of reality, the universe, everything depends on your reference frame.

negative consequences? you mean for us? lol, it just happens that viruses hijacking some of human beings ample resources to reproduce itself does have negative consequences... and if thats what they need to do to reproduce then dna, rna w/e they are coded with, it will eventually mutate to be able to infect no matter what we come up with to fight it. It's like a never-ending arms race. Well, unless we could eradicate every single virus in a species, it will never go away...

I saw that, about the qualitive properties we see and such, its the frequency of the string thats supposed to be what governs this...

fruit flies dieing from a fiery doom... sounds fun lol

So for [math]f(x) = x^1/3[/math] you'd have to find the derivative using [math]f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{f[(x + h)^{1/3}] - f(x^{1/3})}{h}[/math]

look, first principle means you must use this equation: [math]f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}[/math] so you can't use any of the shortcut methods you were talking about. (however you could use them to get the answer so you know what to look for when using the 'first principle')
