    Undergrad Solving the Mystery of Number Theory: 1/3+1/3^2+1/3^3... + 1/3^n=1/2(1-1/3^n)

    I am new to number theory and i so far like it. I recently found this problem but there was no explanation of how they got it and i was wondering if any of you knew how they got it. It is this: 1/3+1/3^2+1/3^3... + 1/3^n=1/2(1-1/3^n) Then they used: 1/4+1/4^2+1/4^3... +...

    Undergrad Could Black Holes Be the Opposite of Suns in the Big Bang Theory?

    The big bang and black holes are independent of each other. Black holes are collapsed stars that have their mass collapsed past a cerain point defined by the Schwarzschild Radius equation R= 2GM/c^2 Where M is the mass collapsing down to the event horizon which is the radius we are defining
