This happened with few songs, for me.

I’ve never argued that mathematics has a concept of finite or infinite numbers, or not. All that I have argued is that what the math world identifies as infinite, is not actually infinite when applied to the real world. As an engineer I deal with recursive functions, code that can run indefinitely. But as an engineer I understand that the code that is running needs an initiation point, the point at which the code is initially executed, and I understand that the seemingly infinite nature of the code, is bound to the lifespan of the process that execute it, for example, until the process is abruptly stopped, or power is taken away from the computer the process is running on. A lifespan invalidates the seemingly infinite nature of the code, from a practical sense. When you start to understand this, and then expand your focus to larger objects like the universe itself, you start to understand the finite nature of the material world we live in.

I understand that mathematicians deal with abstraction. I deal with them too as an engineer. The difference is that as an engineer I have to implement those abstractions within the real world. When you do this enough times you will start to understand the stark differences between the limited hypothetical worlds math is reasoned about, and the very dynamic world the real world, that those math solutions are applied to. The rules of hypothetical worlds are severely limited in comparison to the real world. This is why it’s very important for me to define the real world boundaries that these math problems wil be applied to.

I’m used to working with folks, like yourself, that have a clearly hard time transitioning from a hypothetical world to the real world. This is why I have respond with civility, and have looked past your responses insulting tone. I understand it’s a fear response of the ego, and I don’t judge you for it. I understand that it’s difficult to fight with the protection mechanisms of the ego.

I get it it’s hard to learn new things. I’m still willing to walk you through it. I’m not sure how much more simple I can state it for you, it’s already pretty simplified, but I’m still willing to try. Just let me know.

It seems you are having a hard time comprehending this. I get it’s hard to learn new things. But I can walk you through it.

TL;DR: If an object can be measured, in any way, it’s a finite object. Infinity cannot be measured.

1. In the posted problem the train tracks themselves are finite objects, as they each have a starting point, the fork the train is in front of.
2. The train tracks are bound to physical ground, ground that is itself bound to a finite world, a world has a shape, that can be measured, so it is a finite object.
3. If the shape of the world the train tracks are on is round, then these seemingly infinite tracks will eventually loop back on themselves. If the tracks loop back on themselves, then they must eventually converge as the train starts out the problem on a single track. So neither of the tracks are infinite.
4. It’s important to understand that the tracks are finite objects, as finite objects exist by different rules then infinity itself.
5. I’m not arguing that uncountable numbers are a thing. What I am stating is that if those numbers exist within a finite universe, then they have a lifespan, the lifespan of the finite universe that contains them, thus those numbers aren’t infinite, uncountable yes, but not truly infinite. As I have stated many times, finite objects, like the finite universe, can only create other finite objects. Infinity cannot be created, therefore there is only one infinity, infinity itself, all other objects that can be measured are finite objects. This also means if infinity decides to create anything, it can only produce finite objects. Infinity cannot produce another infinity, as the act of creation would be a measurable starting point.
6. This is why the statement (some infinities are smaller than other infinities) is an illogical statement. If you can measure multiple infinities, then none of those objects are infinite, as one object can be measured to be smaller or larger than the other. And as I keep stating, infinity cannot be measured. If your measurement is uncountable, then the measurement itself is finite.

I find it interesting that you have a degree in math, and apparently have never questioned a question. As I’ve demonstrated, in the posted problem, the statement “some Infinities are bigger than other infinities” is an illogical statement. The mere statement that there are multiple infinities, negates either objects identification as being infinite, and reduces both objects to finite objects, as the only way these objects can be determined to be seperate from each other is through a boundary that would impose a starting or ending point on each object, which in turn reduces them into finite objects.

I also find it interesting that you resort to gate keeping to try and control a situation that you are frustrated by. I was able to simply and clearly demonstrate my position. I also demonstrated the technique of: solving the problem by defeating its purpose. I’ve also demonstrated the difference in how a mathematician and an engineer attempt to solve a problem.

A finite universe, the one in which we live, can only produce finite objects. Those finite objects can only produce other finite objects. A finite object cannot create an infinite object, as the act of creation would be a starting point for the object, and if an object has a starting point or an end point, which are really the same thing, then the object is a finite object.

If a set of numbers originates from a starting point and moves away from that point in a seemingly infinite distance, and then you decide to traverse that set in the opposite direction towards the starting point, the starting point becomes an ending point, and if an object, in this case the set itself, has an ending point, it is a finite object. Finite objects cannot create infinite objects because the act of creation would negate their infinity. Infinity is neither created nor ends, nor does it have size, shape, or form.

The set, that has a measurable starting point, is a finite object. If infinity can be measured, then you have created a finite space, one that can be measured, within an infinite space, infinity itself, which cannot be measured. Infinity remains untouched and undivided. The sets that represent infinity are finite objects, that represent an infinite space, a representation which they can never truly achieve.

If infinity can be measured, by either size, shape, distance, timespan or lifecycle, then the object being considered infinite is a finite object. Infinity, nothing, and everything follow these same rules. If there are two multiple infinite objects side by side to each other, which means there is a measurable boundry that seperates them, then those objects aren’t infinite, they are finite objects, within an infinite space that contains them. Only the space that contains these objects is infinite. Any infinite numbers that are generated within this infinite space, regardless of where they originated within this space, belong to this single infinity. There is no infinityA or infinityB there is just infinity itself.

Infinity cannot be divided, if it can then it becomes multiple finite objects. Therefore there cannot be multiple Infinities. If infinity has a size, then it is a finite object. If infinity has a boundary of any kind, then it is a finite object.

Money is the worship of a pure abstraction. Money is religion. It’s the religion we were all inducted into. We perform rituals to gain the symbolism of our worship in the form of papers, sing metals, and abstract credit. We have faith in our religion, based on the morality and parables we’ve created around it. Should you lose your faith In the great pure abstraction, there are many broadcasts that evangelize it, justify its existence, and tells you how to live by its virtues.

This looks great. Looks like NMS crossed with Valheim. I’ve been enjoying NMS for 4 years now, with all of the continued free updates, I gotta say it was the best 30$ I’ve spent on a game. My concern is that NMS multi-player game play is very buggy, and it looks like this new game wants to be multi-player focused as well. I hope they can pull that off with the new game, and maybe fix multi-player in NMS. I’ve been loving my time in NMS and I will definitely give this new game a try. I didn’t see a release date for it, so I assume it’s a couple of years out.

It’s just diet dictatorship. So don’t worry about it, it’ll be fine…

For me, it’s No Mans Sky. I’ve put a lot of hours into it this year.
