Yeah, because there's not enough iphones on ebay.
I'll have an update in a month, then we'll have an idea if I'm wasting my money and time.

IDK. I'm sure in America, some idiot would protest that you probably just sold the school your meth lab. Who knows if that gains traction with other members of the PTA. | |

Do you know of anywhere on the web where I can get a comprehensive image bank of chemistry lab glassware? The ones I have found are pretty basic, there's quite a lot here that I'm struggling to accurately identify. | |

Of course not. I haven't listed anything yet. However, I'm happy with what I'm finding. There's a handful of Wedgewood mortar and pestles, they're vintage and are potentially worth £25 a piece. There's hundreds of Royal Worcester fluted funnels, RW is collectable china and they probably sell for at least £10 each. | |

Yeah I definitely think it's a gas trap of some sort. My thinking was if there's a vigorous reaction in a test tube releasing gas, this little thing will stop is spewing over and ensure that what comes out is only gas. But I really am just guessing, I've never seen one before. Got hundreds of the little buggers. | |

Ok, it's just that there's this thing called Cantor's Diagonal Argument which is considered proof that there are infinitely more irrational numbers than ratioanl numbers. | |

If that fails to perk your interest, then I'll add that by "around 61%" I mean "precisely 100(6/pi^2)%" | |

A quick wiki check says that his argument has different interpretations, but it basically says, "Look. The counting numbers do not create a set of size which has a countable infinity. The number of counting numbers is not a countable infinity!" | |

When I read ongs post I thought to myself that definitely isn't what cantors diaganol argument proves. It may follow on from it but it's not obvious (in my simple mind) how it follows. So I looked at wiki and Wiki says real numbers and irrational numbers have the same cardinality. |

I thought is was all, if we presume some list of all counting numbers, then we make a number that is different from every element in that list in at least one digit, then we have created a "new" counting number that was not previously in our infinite set of counting numbers... ergo, the number of counting numbers is not countable. | |

Basically if something is countable you can essentially take every element in the set and say it's the same as 1, 2, 3 etc. The link I posted shows how you can do this for rational numbers. |

I do get that not all infinities are the same size, some are infinitly bigger than others. It seems crazy but it's also logical, the fractions compared to whole numbers is a perfect example that is easy to get your head around. | |

No, N is countable in literally the exact meaning of the word. Whereas with sets like R it's literally imposisble to count all the elements. |

You're right, but the probabilities are the same, according to what I think are reliable sources. | |

Seems like that's just the probability that if we look in the direction of a random (x,y), where x and y are integers, that the tree we see will be at (x,y) and not some closer tree in front of it, right? | |
10-02-2018 11:18 AM
#1939

Yeah. But it's also the probability that we see a tree if we look in a random direction on the infinite orchard. That's according to numberphile, I'm yet to understand where that number comes from. | |

They are sets not necessarily groups. A set is just a collection of elements a group is a set which has to strike some criteria which I can't fully remember but as you said identity, inverse and things of that nature. One of the things it requires is an operation though which none of the sets we are talking about have unless you are being specific i.e. r,+ (reals and addition). |

??? for about 10^-30 s, then universe.. expanding 'cause... iunno. Big Bang seems like a fine, if not too creative, name. We really don't understand the mechanism of inflation that happened right at the very, very berry flavored beginning. That didn't last too long, though, whatever that means in the redonkulously relativistic environment that was the entire universe. We have models that seem good-ish, but nothing experimentally confirmed that's older than the Cosmic Microwave Backround (CMB), AFAIK. | |
