    Undergrad Where does math end presently?

    I've currently enrolled in Calculus II and have been thinking lately how far does the most complex present-day math "go"? When I say how far, I mean how complex is the "most complex" math in present time and what does that type of math offer? This topic really is hard to create a search on, so...

    Can We Really Grasp the Concept of Infinity in the Universe?

    I think I can somewhat help with his statement that ---- "(1) There is a limited amount of atoms in the universe, or energy, if not a constant value of energy" I would agree, is the universe we live in not generally accepted fact that it has a finite amount of atoms? Generally, I would...

    An actual infinite number of marbles

    "In contrast, an actual infinite is a collection that really is infinite." ---- I do not see how one could say that a collection of things are infinite in nature. But perhaps, I do not know the term for actual infinite well enough. But you say that an actual infinite of something or other...

    Defining Matter: Can You Help Me Generate Ideas?

    Fear of Death: A Philosophical Inquiry into Coping with Uncertainty

    First, there are no religion specifics here anywhere. It is simply a question by philosophical reasoning. To me and many others, this seems the most important question that one can make a decision on, in duration of their life. And I have not seen this type of question in here yet. And I...

    Defining Matter: Can You Help Me Generate Ideas?

    I agree, I don't think this answer will be achieved using a system such as english to describe the universe to the most fundamental level, atleast presently. I, for one, do not really believe we even have the ability to understand matter at the most fundamental level and truly grasp what it...

    Can We Really Grasp the Concept of Infinity in the Universe?

    Ok there are a few things I believe are incorrect here. For instance, "Things can only exist if their opposites also exist." While this seems to a person as a logical conclusion, "darkness" and "emptiness" themselves do not exist but infact are defined to be the absense of something that we...
