I'll bet you ten bucks you can't. Conceptually, I already did. You lose. Bull****lingly, you did nothing of the sort. Show me the proof. Such a device (which is an engineering challenge, but which certainly violates no physical laws) can create two glasses which have exactly the same volume of water. Not a chance. Yer grasping at straws. Experiments like this are done all the time in labs. Traps are populated with a fixed count of atoms. Lies. You are a liar and a fool. You are confusing measurement error and poor experiment design with something fundamental about numbers. I'm not the one who's confused. But you have a point. All measurement is relative. That's not my point. And not all measurement is relative. It certainly is. What's the dimensions of a two-by-four? If you're measuring volume, that's absolute. How much is a barrel? There are a finite, countable number of atoms (or marbles) in the container, and that number is relative to nothing. That's a laugh. Just try counting the atoms. After you're done counting them, they will have changed. Do the same experiment with marbles and you'll understand nature better. OK. I'll take a marble and crack it in half. I'll get the same results. In nature, there's no evidence that anything can be broken down indefinitely. Time, space, energy... all have a smallest unit. At that point, you're just counting, and count is absolute. But are you talking about taking a bag of marbles and counting out half of them? Not all the marbles are the same. Some will have different weights and colors. You're still the fool here. You don't understand the experiment. I understand more than you do. You've proven to be a fool. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |

Not if there was an odd number of water molecules in one glass when you started... :-) |

Try that with the Pi proportion where you dummies try to set a lower limit for length. I would use a more complex arrangement using the geometric non periodicity of Penrose tiling but I doubt if any of you could handle the argument much less the solution - http://www.scienceu.com/geometry/art...g/penrose.html You all should retreat to your social/political commentaries where you are safe. |

...All numbers are really variables. Is PI a variable? Hmmm? How about phi, the golden ratio? A variable? How about 1? Is 1 a variable? It IS, after all, a number, and you say that ALL numbers are variable... How about 'i', is that a variable? Perhaps you should put your brain in gear at least a little bit before you let out the clutch... |

So pi *must* be a variable. How about phi, the golden ratio? A variable? All of them. How about 1? Is 1 a variable? I just showed that it was. It IS, after all, a number, and you say that ALL numbers are variable... Hmm. Perhaps not zero. How about 'i', is that a variable? Easily proven. I wrote a paper that proves i is equal to 1/2.

One has to be able to do mathematics in advance of worrying about the properties of the physical space in which we live - thus, pi is not the local circle ratio, it is the circle ratio for Euclidean, or "flat", space.

Or, just reproduce your proof here, to show that the square-root of (-1) is equal to 1/2. This I gotta see... but I won't... Put up or shut up. |

Like all the other inviolate proportions , empiricists can't help themselves as Pi is not just a arithmetic , it is inviolate the relationship between line and circle. The empirical cult is basically an assault on common sense whether it is their mindnumbing 'spinning moon', the 366 1/4 rotations per orbital circuit ,their ideas about retrogrades and the many other assertions they make and pass them through the education system as facts. It is anti-intelligence - the flagrant disregard for all that is good in human nature that buries insights rather than elevates them. |
