SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the absurdity of certain posts on the PF forum, highlighting a particularly convoluted and nonsensical explanation of concepts like "nothing," "infinity," and "multi-fractals." The post in question attempts to connect mathematical ideas with philosophical notions but ultimately fails to convey coherent meaning. Participants express relief that such posts are no longer present, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a standard of intelligence and taste in forum discussions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic mathematical concepts such as infinity and limits.
  • Familiarity with fractals and their implications in mathematics.
  • Knowledge of philosophical discussions surrounding existence and nothingness.
  • Awareness of online forum etiquette and community standards.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical properties of infinity and its applications in calculus.
  • Explore the concept of fractals and their significance in both mathematics and nature.
  • Study philosophical theories regarding existence and the nature of nothingness.
  • Learn about effective communication and clarity in online discussions to enhance forum participation.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for mathematicians, philosophers, and forum moderators who seek to understand the impact of incoherent posts on community standards and the importance of clear communication in online platforms.

I hear there have been a number of people banned from PF for various crimes against intelligence and good taste. What is the most horrible, inane, or pathetic thing you have ever seen posted on PF?

There are several, though most of them would also fit well in the other thread...after all inanity does lend to humor very often.

Here's one :
some unspecified member said:
and so,
What is nothing? Nothing is chaos, what does all of pi explain?, an unperfect circle for it cannot reach a whole. what is nothing to stop logic? nothing blocks pi from reaching a whole, a limit to something is nothing, and it can be as forcefull as the logic itself. their for,

inf. n=1->

N = inf. distance & inf. closeness (or Time and Nothing)
0 = inf. # of N note: inf. means any number
N = (0*10^n) (0/10^n) note: 0 represents a # of N
nothing = N0N
something = N0N/N0N and the reduction to the least common denominator and nothing
something within time = the continual providance of such an act/ repetition of the reduction in ever changing complexity to order (multi - fractals).

what is order to ever changeing complexity? is it a single fractal? but fractals cannot explain the universe within a whole, but it does explain our individual minds. the idea of multi-fractal can. but do not doubt the size of infinity, for as our universe will die it will become like eather a seed or like the randomness that causes the seed to grow. it will take an almost infinite amount of time but it will happen and existence will all occur again in some other way. for the infinitness of a multi-fractal would be so huge that our universe is at that point of infinite closenes, at this time.
ok so what do you think of this version of Divisional continuum? close? even at all? good? bad? anything? please?

Boy, am I glad we don't have any more of this n0nsense. :approve:
 
We shouldn't be be making fun of others, even if they are the "dearly departed".
