My example was to show the time and distance can be determined without using 'infinite' series. Zeno was not promoting 'infinite'series, nor was he...
What was Zeno's point in the runner and the tortoise?
forum; Here is a modern day Zeno scenario of the chase. It is a product of imagination based on real world events. The language of math works the...
Sarkus; How can you describe something you haven't experienced, like an alien abduction? Measurement was a necessary practice in early history....
James; No. You agreed the value is assigned to the limit L, and f(x) will become closer to L as x increases. It qualifies as convergent, but closer...
Sarkus; There is nothing 'infinite' in human experience. There is no such thing as 'infinitely' long. Have you looked up the meaning of...
James; An example from Wiki: For example, consider f(x) = 2x/(x + 1).f(100) = 1.9802 f(1000) = 1.9980 f(10000) = 1.9998As x becomes extremely...
James; [ATTACH] Why does he define a limit L for f(x), and not f(x)=L? Could it be that he knows f(x) never =2, but he can set a limit for it? I.e.,...
[ATTACH]
Sarkus; The red portion is what I referred to as equivalent to the definition, using 'approximates' in place of the string of words. I don't find...
As the definition and Sarkus stated, the repeating decimal approximates the limit,but never equals it.
Sarkus' You gave the answer in the first line above. You can't consider the complete sequence, because it doesn't exist. Another instance of 'all...
forum; The 'square circle' title got my attention since I exchange posts with someone on another forum who proposes a square light clock. The...
Sarkus; In the video I watched a pickup pull a portable 'runway' in the -x direction while a pilot flew his small 'cub' class plane off the 'runway'...
Sarkus; After watching a demonstration of the experiment with a small aircraft on a portable surface, the mistake in interpretation is obvious. Was...
Sarkus; In 1870, sending someone to the moon was fantasy. In 1970, it happened after all the technical issues were solved. The plane/conveyor...
forum; It was back to the drawing board. The goal is to prevent an airplane from taking off (to the right) from a moving conveyor belt. Initially...
The engine thrust moves the plane forward. The weight of the plane is transferred via the wheels to the conveyor, pushing it backward. Unlike the...
In the example on another forum, the conveyor had a sensor-feedback system that matched the conveyor speed opposite to the wheel speed of the...
Mike; In SR, simultaneity is subjective for the observer. Example: She S (black) is at rest and He H (green) is moving away at .4. He passes S1, one...
