Infinity is very hard to understand, sometimes even for mathematicians. But they at least have figured out some rules to calculate with infinities and some are counter-intuitive.
A simple example: Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise. Achilles, known as the fastest runner in antiquity, is to race a tortoise. The race goes over 100 paces but the tortoise gets a head start of 10 paces.
So, for to win, Achilles has first to run up to the point where the tortoise started at 10 paces. But in that time the tortoise has already moved 1 pace further.
Achilles now moves to that point. And the tortoise has moved again.
You can play that game infinite times and Achilles will never close up to the tortoise. How can that be?

Because math sucks. :mad:

So do vacuum cleaners

Not the one's my wife uses. I'm always having to fix the darn things.

Yeah, ours stopped sucking for a while (well much reduced sucking) new filter fixed it. Now it gives a mighty suck, impossible to vacuum the rugs though, it just picks them up and drags them around.

All of these old threads about the Earth being 6,000 years old are so wrong! It is 6,100 years old as of this moment, dammit!

My latest scientific (in the Godly sense of it) paper is final proof of mathematics and evolution are being two sides of Atheism foretold by the people of Higher worship. The fact that my Peers will not publish the fully calculated Eternal Proof of All Being is a hateful deceit by Satanists. Discuss.

…and THAT is why President Reagan’s economic policies will result in long term hardships for the middle class in the years to come. :mad: Mark my words! :mad:
