CONQUERING INFINITY

I CAN CONQUER INFINITY WITH NOTHING WATCH THIS


infity/0 = 0        I HAVE SUBDUED ALL OF ETERNITY. QUAKE IS MY PRESENSE. BOWN DOWN TO YOUR NEW LORD.
he kinds of equations that they have now are the kinds of equations you would get in an approximation scheme to some underlying theory, but nobody knows what the underlying theory is.

Know that infinity is much less a number than a concept.

Ok, Mr. Infinity Master Person, answer me this: if an infinite number of monkeys sit at an infinite number of typewriters in an infinite three dimensional universe and each produce an infinite string of text, what is the probability that one of them produces infinitely many copies of the complete works of Shakespeare, one after another?

infinity?
It's quite remarkable really that both Israel and Palestine have no qualms about slaughtering the crap out of each other - but they are perfectly willing to work together jovially and hide a secret that wouldn't make much difference to the world. -rdethgy

Probability = 0, presuming all of the typewriters have English letters.

Reasoning:
If there's an infinite amount of monkeys, infinite things happen (presumably simultaneously). Seeing as there's infinite of everything, the one in there throws it all off. There would be an infinite amount of monkeys typing infinitely many copies of the complete works of Shakespeare. Thus there wouldn't be ONE monkey producing Shakespeare, there'd be infinitely many monkeys typing up infinitely many beautifully-timed sonnets. ;)

Then again, life tends to fiddle with things a bit, and it's practically guaranteed that somehow the monkeys would figure out something better to do (like start a revolt, and throw their infinite typewriters at each other until they realized that throwing their poo is a lot more fun).

Yes, but is at least one monkey producing infinitely many copies of the complete works back-to-back, one after another? Anyways, don't answer that, or at least wait a while, because I was really asking the self-proclaimed master of infinity and not the population at large.

infity/0 = 0


Am I the only one bothered that he has divided something by zero? Maybe I'm wrong buy I just don't understand how that's possible... Or was that supposed to be 0 / infinity?

Also does this mean that we can use Unicorns in maths?

I noticed it but I didn't go into this debate since the guy is apparently stupid... infinity / 0 = indefinite (dunno how to say it in English, but anyway)

I believe the most pressing question is how long will it take before they begin to throw poop?  Think about it ... an infinite number of monkeys will eventually degrade into an infinite number of poop-throwers ... and that's a lot of poop.

Phew! For a second there I was worried you had joined this thread to discuss math - a most distressing thought indeed!

ooo, burn.  Just for you, I'll talk about mathematics.

0; at time x, they all begin to throw poop/will have degraded into throwing poop.  I win.

I know what you're doing, and you will not succeed.  When I have more time, I will give two explanations: one that you want, and the other that will make you roll your eyes and call me an idiot.
