![]() ![]() by 1 divided by that huge number above, but less is less). I can't write the full form of 1024 terms without basically flooding the channel. The sum on the left as it turns out is 1023/1024. EnPassantI'm going to take a stab at your confusion then. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. The lesson is that one can show someone the solution to their philosophical issues, but they may not see that solution. Meta is of interest because of his inability to see that ⅓ is just another number, that velocity is calculable and that facts change over time. It seems to me to lead to Aristotle, and to a curiously inert language, in which "number", "velocity", "fact" and other terms are arbitrarily and unilateral forbidden their usual use. I said before that the interest here is in identifying the origin and progress of the crack. You did the same in the conversation where you denied that one could calculate the velocity of an object at a given time, and indeed you did much the same thing in the discussion of the Seagull: The discussion here is not mathematics, which Meta plainly has misunderstood. You have done this several times in this thread taking a common way of speaking and arguing that it is incorrect. I guess your response will be to the effect that there are 36 pies, not three dozens, and hence that this is not an example of 3 divided by 9, but of 36 divided by 9. Further, I am certain that dividing none by three is a reasonably straight forward activity.Ĭontemplate this I have three dozen pies. Metaphysician UndercoverĪll we have as evidence for the impossibility od three being divided by nine is your insistence. Some people even believe that they actually do what is impossible. ![]() They like to demonstrate that they can do the impossible. Nevertheless, mathemagicians are an odd sort, very crafty, wily like the fox, devising new illusions all the time. Three cannot be divided by nine, it is impossible. Some quantities cannot be divided in certain ways. Now you've struck the heart of the problem. ![]()
