This paper seems to claim that the mass of Schwarzschild Black Holes is... 0. How can the mass be 0? It seems wrong. Ant thoughts?...
If they are finite, then there must be a formula that enables their construction. Is there such a formula? What is it?
People who don't study math, I guess.
But infinitesimals are, by definition, uncountably infinite. They are not countable. That's the whole point of the real numbers forming a continuum,...
Yeah, that suggests I was correct in my thinking. I guess I'm just used with people referring to infinitesimals as though they are numbers.
I guess you haven't studied intuitionistic logic or intuitionistic math... The basic idea is that if you don't have a formula to define a number you...
Have you ever done any real math? (haha) Of course I have done calculus, but you can't construct infinitesimals with calculus, the best we have been...
We know that infinity is not a number and it cannot be constructed. We also know that infinitesimals cannot be constructed and successor relations...
My 9 year old son gets it. He said to me today that we don't evolve but, rather, molecules evolve by organizing themselves better. Our definition of...
I wouldn't be surprised if we found tardigrades on Mars by the end of the decade. NASA expected to reveal evidence for liquid water on Mars at...
Molecules are obviously alive. How can life come from something that is not, at least to a certain extent, alive? The only difference is that cells...
I have heard so many people talking about "inflation" as something that is unavoidably true and sure that it makes me suspicious... I feel the same...
If that is correct, seems unlikely it was a "random" event...
I find it hard to "believe" that there is such a thing as "random" in the universe. A system might appear random to us, but I think the apparent...
Moved to pseudoscience!? Hopefully not anything I said... It started as a good discussion, but got a little weird in the middle....
I have been reading about entropy and the second law of thermodynamics, particularly how gas in a chamber will always reach equilibrium in the same...
I think I get it... Seems to me like photons are like massless beams of pure energy that can move unchanged in the vacuum, and then when they...
Thank you guys, that was very helpful. I was actually watching Cosmos and Neil deGrasse Tyson said that when light goes through a prism it slows down...
Ok, but if all photons move at the same speed, how can they have greater or lesser amounts of energy relative to each other? Shouldn't they all have...
Maybe I'm drunk and not thinking straight, but if all light is always moving at the same speed of "c", how come photons have different levels of...
