My post relates to the exam we are about to sit, I take your point entirely but part of the course was Quantum. So if Plank is mentioned then i suspect that will be a trap question, last years paper was notorious for being really hard because it lead you down the wrong paths, it was designed to get away from parrot style memory. Hence why the crocodile question while being easy caught most people out, it wasnt so much the problem but the clever way thay worded it. Also you cant accurately measure the CURRENT universe, you will always be playing catch upWidth of the measurable universe divided by Plank length.
That's the largest number that can exist in reality. Everything else above that is a abstract.
4 times the rate of expansion for the universe has been recalculated, last thing i read (on CERN somewhere) was to do with the non linear acceleration of the universe. so extrapolation would be nigh on impossible to be accurate. I am not arguing with you but I would like to debate both sides. I have a bit of a problem with some of the sub atomic stuff, I dont agree with CERN (now thats some arrogance!!) but I will argue it from a different perspective to the one I holdActually, if you take a number of measurements then the value at any given point in time can extrapolated and be known.
Tricky but still definable yet as long as time exists still always a fixed point at any given instant.
The rest is just semantics.
The mathematical query is why I said you cant just add 1 to the largest number and make another, the complexity is grahams number is no longer the largest, but the largest is ojnly the largest if you are prepared to except second order as good enough. As for head hurt yeah tell me about it! want one of my aspirins? trust me I stocked up on themGoogle "esoteric"...
Apparently, the "largest" number only qualifies as such IF it has been used to solve some manner of mathematical query:
(curious that both guys have UK accents... ).
Yet, infinity (∞), which I've always considered as THE really big number, is summarily ejected from consideration, despite its significant usage in The Calculus.
Anyway, I thought the comment, about filling one's mind with a black hole, extremely apt in that I now have a headache.
LG, should you be prepared to answer: "What is the smallest number"?
God I hate those numberphile guys.
"If" does not belong in mathematical proofs and neither do most of their idiotic jumping to conclusions either.
I ran across something of theirs a year or two ago, it said something like the sum of all positive real numbers is -1/12. In other words, 1+2+3+4+5+6...+∞ = -1/12. Their "proof" was ridiculous, it made all sorts of assumptions that made no sense at all. And thinking logically, how do you sum positive numbers and get a negative number? Usually I like those guys, and some of their stuff is great, but I don't like that one.
It might be just me, but i find if I understand something and then watch one of there videos on it i get really confused. they have a way of explaining things that totally confuses me.
For example it took me ages to learn some of the stuff quads like using quaternions, but watch there video on them and now I am confused!!
I will stick with how know it rather than how they explained it, maybe its just that one guy, but he totally messes my head up when he explains stuff.
But who agreed? where and when was the vote? the point being even what was agreed only exists in very specific conditions, the moment the standard is out of it case and room then it will contract or expand and be a different size. PLUS I didnt agree to it so it aint my meterAs defined by agreed upon units of measure set by us humans in this reality.
The rest is just semantics.
Works for meEnglish I am rubbish at, i will be lucky to scrape a pass so i have a plan. As I now live in Scotland and they hate the English I am going to rite at the top of the paper............. Sorry but as we live in the great nation of Scotland I refuse to do, or have anything to do with an Exam based on ENGLISH, I am however prepared to do one based on Scottish. Its likely to get me the same grade as actually sitting the exam lol.
