Have you read 'A Short History of Nearly Everything'? Or did you just so happen to phrase it very similarly?Fishtie said:
holy fucking christ that is awesome.
I learned this in advanced physics the other day:
As long as an object has a mass, it has a gravitational force. There's always a force pulling other nearby objects towards it. So if you sit beside someone else, you two are gravitating towards each other, technically. These forces exist for every object ever but are damn near impossible to notice unless it's two HUGE masses, such as planets.
In my class, we worked out the gravitational attraction between ourselves and the people we were working with. It was strange.

Lol that's an awsome thing to find out...how did anyone find this out? they must of been bored out of their asses
like when i thought that rock types were also immune to electric type attacks, i felt very ripped off when i was training my anorith and he was knocked one by a thundershock!Marter said:
the last time this thread came up, i said "you cant multiply a number with infinite decimal places, and get a whole number"
the reply i got was "if you divided 1 by pi, that number would have infinite decimal places, but if you multiplied that number by pi, it would be whole again"
which is prfectly true, so the logic works in theory, but in practice, you cant multiply an already-existant number with infinate decimal places to create a whole number, because the decimal places go on forever, just as 3.33333... can never truely make 10 when multiplied by 3.

That is why I used an acceptable math notation. I indicated a trend of repetition and the trailing elipses tells the reader that it carries on in this way forever. I even pointed that out in the very post you quoted for those where not familiar with this notational convention.numaiomul said:guys you're complicating the situation
1= 1/3 + 2/3 = 0.(3) + 0.(6) = 0.(9) = 9/9 =1
0.(3)=0.33333333333...
simple algebra
oh and btw: you can't do math without the entire number (like you used 0.999...)
well this is from back in the day:

I know. It's just that a lot of people will choose 471 and go "oh I guess it only works for that number meh" xp.arc1991 said:nope, i picked 512 and it workedMadeinHell said:Thus you made about 90% of people use 471 making this whole thing insignificant ;P.Redingold said:
Nice trick though
It's hard to tell what I was trying to tell just in emotionless text
Hmm. Interesting way to break down 1,001 and 1,001,001,001---numbers which have properties that mesh very well with three-digit numbers. Multiply it by 1,001,001,001,001,001,001...and you can get the sequence to repeat as often as you'd like.MadeinHell said:I know.

In other news, my mind was blown today when a girl I've met on campus exactly twice recognized me and smiled at me when I chanced across her again today. If I see her one more time I'm asking her out for coffee.
