math therories show there is not a finite ammount of numbers because numbers always get higher but there is a finite number of numbers

the finite ammount of numbers goes all the way to the largest number that anyone has ever been imagined. any other number higher of that does not exist yet.

congratulations.

you're an idiot.

9/13/2006 5:12:15 PM

the rapture is here.

9/13/2006 5:12:31 PM

you can't imagine a high number without something above it because you just have to write a fucking 1 at the end and you have a larger number.

9/13/2006 5:13:02 PM

I hope the sun still comes up tomorrow.

MY HEAD HURT AND MY HEART ACHED JUST READING THAT.

I THINK I WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO PRIMARY SCHOOL.

i'm pretty sure there is some rule about infinite numbers cause like if you had 3.05, you could just make it 3.051, and then make that 3.0511, and then like 3.05111

9/13/2006 5:28:28 PM

BUT LIKE

IF 1/3 = 0.3333333333333333333 REPEATING

AND LIKE

3 * 1/3 = 1

WHY DOES

3 * 0.3333333 REPEATING

NOT EQUAL 0.9999999999 REPEATING!!1?

WHOA MAN!

thats where black holes come from. the nothingness between your two answers.

9/13/2006 5:31:44 PM

how can a line be just a bunch of dots becuase if you zoom in, youll always see dots and youll never find the line.

9/13/2006 5:31:45 PM

^^.9999 repeating is equal to 1

how can we know they approach a value of they never actually touch?

In recent news, inductive reasoning has been discarded.

The fact that we can conceive of a larger number than the highest one someone has ever thought of proves the point that numbers are infinite because we can conceive of it. I think, therefore I am.

9/13/2006 6:37:07 PM

^^you are retarded

9/13/2006 6:42:39 PM

^^we don't know how high a number we can conceive but im sure there is a limit

9/13/2006 6:46:04 PM

Well technically, if we could divide everything up into it's smallest part, and counted it all... a number higher than that would not mean anything because there wouldn't be enough stuff to use it.

9/13/2006 6:50:10 PM

There's an infinite number of numbers between 1 and 2.

9/13/2006 6:52:25 PM

^only the ones that can be thought of are there.

9/13/2006 6:55:06 PM

I'm pretty sure I could spend the next 50 years of my life writing out a number that hasn't been though of yet.

If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one there to hear it....

9/13/2006 7:43:48 PM

^no because a tree is a physical thing. a number is a mental thing.

^^^then that would just be added to the finite set of numbers.

9/13/2006 8:11:58 PM

You sir are a fucking idiot.

9/13/2006 8:24:00 PM

NO WAI CUZ LIKE

a != b

10a != 10b

10a - a != 10b - b

9a != 9b

AMIRITE? OK SO LIKE

0.9repeating != 1

10 * 0.9repeating != 1 * 10

9.9repeating != 10

9.9repeating - 0.9repeating != 10 - 1

9 != 9

HOLY BEJEEZUS I JUST BLEW MY MIND

MATH CLASSES WERE SO STUPID LOL

then i'd say it served a much higher purpose than it was intended to

9/14/2006 1:11:43 AM

maybe so...maybe you're just being optimistic...either way we agree that any X + 1 > X

Because right now you suck harder than a vortex at it.

After reading this thread only two words come to mind... "chit" and "chat", a finite set.

So by that premise we must be the only inhabital solar system since we haven't found another.

Flawed Logical statement. You should take Philosophy of Logic.

dood u r stupidz lollerz.

you can always add 1 to any number, no matter how big, and make it BIGGER, and you can repeat this process forever. so there is NO LIMIT, and the set is INFINITE.

duke, plz to move this to chit chatz.

there is a limit somewhere to how many times teh human brain can add 1 to a number.

9/14/2006 11:03:24 AM

^agreed

9/14/2006 11:13:09 AM

And clearly the human brain is the limit with which to determine all of reality.

I think the problem here is that this kid thinks that it is actually a matter of writing down or counting to the "largest number". He doesn't seem to understand that this is an abstract concept. He thinks that to figure out the "largest number", you actually have to physically either write it down or count to it, hence, the finiteness that he is sticking to.
