    Is 1 Really Equal to .9999999999999999999?

    1= .9999999999999999999... Here it is... 1/3= .33333333333... 2/3= .6666666666... so 3/3= .9999999999... so 1= .999999999... Wtf? I think that this "paradox" means that there is a problem with our definition of infinity. At least, the definition needs to be refined...

    Alter the Speed of Light: What Does Light Travel Through?

    Yes. In fact, a group of scientists (I have forgot the university/research lab) managed to get time going down to a speed very close to zero by making light pass through extremely dense mediums. Also, time is faster the higer you go up into the atmosphere. This is because the light has to...

    Is String Theory A Waste Of Time?

    Imagine this-- It is the days before Newton. One semi-retarded man writes an elaborate paper saying everything falls up. Another man, named Newton, reads this paper, and says. "What a retard! Things fall down!" So, Newton writes a paper, which says- "No, I have never seen anything...

    Does quantum theory make bizarre events possible?

    Jaun: String theory is a waste of time. I dissagree. I don't know if string theory is correct or not, and I really don't care. But, even if it is completely wrong, basically no theory is a waste of time, as long as it is well developed and researched. A lot of times, the journey is more...

    How long until we reach Type 1, 2, & 3 civilizations?

    Basically, "expect the unexpected". (Which sort of means to expect the expected) :P

    How long until we reach Type 1, 2, & 3 civilizations?

    I think that the classification of I, II, and III is a good method, but the certian technologies that have been attached to each of these classifications are, for lack of a better word "BS". Reasons-- 1)They are simply more advanced forms of technology we have today. If you asked...

    The building of a proton accelerator

    Through random chance, I decided one day that I would build a proton accelerator. I understand the concepts of the physics that are involved well enough, but the actual construction is a bit of a mystery. There is a surprising number of rescources on the construction, but they mostly involve...
