sfpublic Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 What's the scientific word for this? Like... not comparable in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 If you can give us an example of this, it may make it more clear to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpublic Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Imagine a big ball. It's made of a glass-like substance. Now, you aren't able to measure the scale of difference. What is the UNABILITY of the property to be measured to a scale of difference to? What is the keyword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I'm still not quite sure what you mean. The word conformal means that there is no length scales involved, (roughly). Is that what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I don't understand what "scale of difference" means. Can you rephrase this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpublic Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Difference as in change (of surface). Unability to be measured due to an explicit nature as if beyond us. If it helps, don't think physics or relativity, think life. I think the problem is, when I asked what it is[/b], you're thinking of and effect or something in-process inward or outward. Instead of a word, that describes just an inability to be measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphus Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 You mean something that requires more precision than is possible? Or something fundamentally unquantifiable maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 You can't talk about difference with only one example (a glass ball or whatever). That's the basis of the joke about the duck. Difference between what and what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidwood15 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Sure it would just be immeasurable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
