He's right about instantaneous velocity. It's a paradoxical concept. At the fundamental level, the minimum distance is the Planck length.

Not mine. I like to know what is actually computed.

It's just a logical paradox. It is thought that you can't have infinitesimal small intervals. And that you can't gather them all together to form a fi...

How you put infinite small pieces together to form a meter? How you know the size of your differentials is right, to not arrive at two meter?
May 22, 2022 at 12:10
Yes, but the majority of people think the opposite. That establishes the paradox. The twin paradox goes against established opinion (no time delay). D...

A paradox goes against established opinion.
May 22, 2022 at 12:00
The very notion of laying infinite infinitely small intervals together is nonsensical. Like the other way round, zero infinite big intervals.

The paradox lies in the break-up of the continuum in points. If you get on with it a little harder you might see it. The distance between two points g...

It's the winter of human kind What has become if us? What made us blind?

Consider two points. There is space between them. For the infinitesimal to exist the can never touch. However close they get.

:lol: Exactly, brother Agent!

Approaching without being able to touch.

But the very definition is paradoxical..

Your attempt to point to contradictions and inconsistencies doesn't hold up. The anti electron is anti negative, so a love electron. But when meeting ...

Is that a paradox? Don't think so. There has never been a mathematical object as paradoxically as the infinitesimal.
May 22, 2022 at 10:19
Because infinitesimals are paradoxical.
May 22, 2022 at 10:13
Yes. A-bombs are only human! Only those who survive die very slowly, while not being involved in the battle at all!
May 22, 2022 at 10:12
That's not the question. It's a fact.
May 22, 2022 at 10:09
The paradox is that infinitesimals have zero length.
May 22, 2022 at 10:06
Damned brother Agent! You astound me every time! :grin:

War is caused by humans, off course. But there are different means for waging it. Based on science it turns into pure evil. Don't worry. The gods enjo...

The paradox lies in the infinitesimals.
May 22, 2022 at 09:45
War is hate! And the way its performed nowadays, caused by science and its mive away from nature.
May 22, 2022 at 09:36
Yes. Like the Higgs mechanism.
May 22, 2022 at 09:20
Love kills! We wouldnt have been here if that didnt happen! Yes. Basic, simple pure love. The longing to be together.
May 22, 2022 at 09:18
Yes they do. The paradox is that approximations in math are the exact solution. An apparent contradiction. A oaradix, eeehhh... paradox.

And the big bang can be refuted? Why should science be refutable? What if you just know the truth?

Yes. It depends on the theology used. As expected... :lol:

Says I. Give me one example of a logical necessity. I can point to a natural process corresponding to it.

No offense, but your opinion has no bearing as well. All logical necessities are based on physical causes and effects. Maybe some logical necessities ...
