The universe's max timeGiven that relativity is right, one can make certain valid statements, like these: Last edited by LQ (2010-06-25 23:29:17) I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #2 2010-06-26 03:27:14
Re: The universe's max time
Where does relativity say this is true? "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #3 2010-06-26 04:10:30
Re: The universe's max timeMax all in all is still max seen from the other reference frames. Last edited by LQ (2010-06-26 04:33:05) I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #4 2010-06-26 05:36:17
Re: The universe's max time2. So basically, we have (motorspeed avarage)/(motorspeed max) = v/c. I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #5 2010-06-26 07:37:58
Re: The universe's max time
You know I have bantered with him on several subjects but did not think of that. Basically because I don't understand it. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means. 90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics. #6 2010-06-26 08:54:26
Re: The universe's max timeAnyway, could this indeed be right? I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #7 2010-06-28 03:33:15
Re: The universe's max time
Sounds to me like a pretty big assumption. Does this really reflect reality? "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #8 2010-06-28 03:35:20
Re: The universe's max timeindeed, max is max. I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #9 2010-06-30 11:59:36
Re: The universe's max timeNo, can you have such a box? "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #10 2010-06-30 17:16:38
Re: The universe's max timeIt's a thought box. I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #11 2010-07-03 15:54:27
Re: The universe's max timeOne can certainly set up a thought experiment with a premise that doesn't hold (as far as we know) in our universe. For example, a tachyon is the idea of a particle which can travel faster than the speed of light and have negative mass. But as soon as you begin with a premise that is to the best of our knowledge false, then all your deductions don't say anything about the universe. "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #12 2010-07-04 15:07:59
Re: The universe's max timeMust exist a max in every area, musn't it? I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #13 2010-07-07 03:39:19
Re: The universe's max time
Do you mean "There must exist..."? And when you say "a max", a max what? Length? Volume? Shade of blue? "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #14 2010-07-08 02:22:49
Re: The universe's max timeYes, as in any area. I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #15 2010-07-08 03:50:24
Re: The universe's max timeI'm sorry, but I'm not understanding your response at all. Should your previous statement be: "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." #16 2010-07-08 04:09:10
Re: The universe's max timeno, that there is a max of every kind of thing that reflects the laws of physics. I see clearly now, the universe have the black dots, Thus I am on my way of inventing this remedy... #17 2010-07-08 23:36:54
Re: The universe's max timeOk, I'm willing to grant the idea of taking the maximum of everything that is current. However...
...that's not what you're talking about here. You've just gone from "The maximum thing that exists" to "The maximum thing that is possible". While the current largest black hole in our universe has a certain size, it is nowhere near the size that a blackhole would be if you took all the matter in the universe and put it into a single one. "In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..." |
