Infinite Plane Question
« on: May 09, 2008, 01:34:46 PM »
Is the atmosphere the same mix of gasses everywhere on this infinite plane? So in theory we could cut down every tree, churn up every field, poison every reef in the sea, and there'd still be enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support human life indefinitely?

Well in theory, yes. However all that chopping and ploughing/plowing that would take an infinite amount of time.

Not if Earth is the only oxygen producing area on the plane

I thought the Earth was the infinite plane?

Yeah, but beyond the Ice Wall there is just a rubbish icy wasteland with no life, according to Tom who knows all about this kind of thing.

I don't really support the infinite plane model. But in theory, you'd still have a considerable time before the noxious gases dispersed and equilibrium took place.

Well maybe there will evolve some infinite ice-eating oxygen producing algae?  And in the infinite meantime, infinite weeds will sprout in the infinite plough rows.  The only thing I know is that weed seeds really do seem infinite.

There could be other worlds out there on the plane. Strange and terrible plant lifeforms farting out oxygen into the atmosphere

Yes and yes.  Eating methane and farting oxygen, the little buggers.  We could catch some and make a mint of money installing them in bathrooms, sewers, etc.  When do we start?  ;D

We need to build some kind of airship to get over the ice wall, and it'll be cold so some jumpers are essential. We also need some flamethrowers in case the alien plants try to eat us.

Damn it, I'm tired of all these lies. I do nothing at work and your tax money is being totally wasted!

How did you know I work for the government anyway?

There is no way for me to answer that at this time.  We don't know.
