The first law, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases.

The third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero
Yes, perpetual motion. Unless we can prove the universe is losing energy to another system, then we have to w it is a closed system. Even if it is not a closed system, then the combined systems must be closed. And if they are not, then they're combined systems must be closed. And on and on it goes.
Not quite, the second law thermodynamics states that when energy change states there is always a little loss to heat( kinetic). The total energy Remains the Same. This results in high energy States eventually being reduced to low energy state, spread out, then the bit about he third law The Logical result is the 'Heat Death'. Look it up.

That was the bit I was talking about cosmetology. Are we in a expanding universe a collapsing or an oscillating universe? If oscillating, collapsing into a singularity, Big Bang again, but we don't know what the Big Bang was. Still looking, don't know. Just don't know what happens in a singularity. Didn't want to use the verb happen, since relative to us t=0 in a singularity.
 some point, every system is enclosed and everything inside is perpetual. But even if this is not the case – that there is no "enclosure" and that the universe/multi-verse/existential existence is indeed infinite – then the fact there is no beginning and no end also means that whatever it is we are dealing with is perpetual.
Man you lost me, enclosed doesnt mean perpetual, it implies uniform. Any closed system given enough time will reach absolute zero.. Third Law thermodynamics.

Under Einstein's general relativity, space does not exist outside of Mass( 4d with respect to time). what we observe as motion is the change in the manifold from Mass. Okay I'm bad at explaining this. It's non intuitive
Everything moves. That is the one constant that we know of. Every single thing in the universe that we think we understand is in motion. But what is "motion"? Is it still a positional reference without time?
Setting aside the motion point, No, Not at absolute zero. Third law. Everything is approaching that point. You know entropy.

Again SpaceTime only exist with Mass. So it's nonsense to think space goes on forever without Mass. It only exists because of mass, I know counterintuitive welcome to special relativity.
While Pi can be expressed as a formula, it cannot be expressed as a rational number (as you have mentioned). As far as we know, Pi is infinite – we do not know where it ends – and therefore we cannot measure anything with it because there is no way of knowing if the Pi of one circle is the same Pi as another. It only takes one number in an infinite series of numbers to disprove that C= Pi x D. So we will never know if this is true or not.
Well you don't know. Pi doesn't go on forever, even using floating-point notation, pi approaches a limit, the point on the number line we call pi, you know calculus 101. Pi is not infinite it's a very finite point on the number line. You keep using that word infinite I don't think you know what it means.

Consider this, taken 1 meter length string make a circle, measure/calculate the diameter and it will be a irrational number. Still finite. The diameter doesn't go on forever, it's length is finite, measurable. Jes Another Real number on the number line,

It's like you're not able to think in the set of Real numbers only the subset of Rational numbers. Ya will always get a incomplete view of the universe. For what it's worth so does computer arithmetic. it uses a floating-point notation to simulate the set of Reals. it can only express in integers, cuz it's Intrinsic when expressing a bit stream as a number.
Energy and matter are proportional. Massless particles, such as photons, are not matter. Yet they still carry energy. If "m" = 0 in E=mc2, then you are still left with the speed of light squared. Velocity = energy
.

Oops, forgetting algebra 101?
If m=0, then zero times any number no matter how large ( and c squared is big) still equals 0. Thus E=0.
nup velocity does not equal, or imply energy. Cuz velocity is not in the equation!
Ummmm. C squared, is not a reference to Velocity or speed, it's jes a number, a constant. Derived from measuring the speed of light. Meters per second


I bet acceleration is what you're thinking of. Meters per second per second.
F=MA. Force equals mass times acceleration.
it takes a Force to move Mass faster, acceleration; intuitive. Zero Force to keep an object just moving, speed.

:bong4:

Ah, much as I'd like to debate this all night (not really), I've got shit to do and smoke and go to bed. So . . .

E=mc2 = My Bad. The full equation is E2=m2c4+p2c2. For resting mass the equation is E=mc2. For massless particles (ie: photons) it is E= pc. I can't remember the point I was making :bonghitter:

Perhaps it was something along the lines of nothing can exist without mass or energy, so there will always be one or the other in a system (see below).

You may assume entropy will end all motion in the universe. But that relies on the universe neither expanding – which it is, at an accelarted rate – nor contracting – which we may never know, but is the theory behind the Big Crunch, as I'm sure you know.

In that respect, my argument is based on the fact we are simply here – there is "stuff" – and that whatever this existence is, it must be perpetual. Or we wouldn't be here. And I think you agree with me on that.

I understand that at Absolute Zero (kelvin) things stop moving. But Absolute Zero can never be reached: unless the universe was infinitely large (entropy) and infinitely old (entropy again). No closed system will reach absolute zero – no matter how long it takes.

I know what infinite means. If Pi does not have an infinite number of decimal places – and admittedly we will never know if it does or does not (which is my point) – then you would be able to say with certainty what it is. But then, it's a bit like a piece of string – we can never exactly measure it. It will always be rounded.

Munchy wrote:anything real has to be finite. Infinity is an abstraction. Infinity doesn't exist. Infinity is bigger than biggest. It can't really exist. In mathematics you can approach infinity but you can never get there, because it doesn’t really exist. It's not a real thing; it's an idea. It’s concept, but it's not a real thing. So you can’t say, “This is infinite. The universe is infinite.” Well, we know it's not infinite. It's big, but we know we can only see so far. It’s not infinite at all. And scientists will even tell you what the size is; what the diameter is of the universe. Well, that’s limited by light speed and other things. What's on the other side of the universe then if it's finite? Nobody knows. Nobody has that information. And it's not that useful even to speculate about it. You just have to learn to live gracefully with uncertainty. That's why I say that it’s finite, because it’s real. Consciousness is a real thing. If it’s real, it can't be infinite.
-Tom Campbell



If we have no right to exist, then I think infinity has every right to exist. In fact, I can't see how we can be here if it doesn't exist.

I don't think the universe is infinite. And I don't even think that whatever the universe is expanding into is infinite. But make no mistake: "existence", "the here", "the wateveryouwannacallit that encompasses ALL" is infinite. There is no beginning. There is no end. There just "is".
Munchy wrote:our individuated unit of consciousness is our soul. each soul is a piece or part of the larger consciousness system, and ultimately of the prime consciousness, which is akin to God.
And I tend to agree with this ^ that we are part of a larger consciousness that is all knowing and omnipotent. But in order for that to be true, the prime consciousness cannot be finite – it must be infinite. It must "be". Because if it is finite, and there is something else outside its realm, then it is no longer "all-knowing and omnipotent" – there is something that it doesn't know or experience. Perhaps another prime consciousness. And so it goes.

You can only accept existence if you accept infinity.

The invention of calculus soon led to the calculation of hundreds of digits of π, enough for all practical scientific computations. Nevertheless, in the 20th and 21st centuries, mathematicians and computer scientists have pursued new approaches that, when combined with increasing computational power, extended the decimal representation of π to many trillions of digits.[6][7] The primary motivation for these computations is as a test case to develop efficient algorithms to calculate numeric series, as well as the quest to break records.[8][9] The extensive calculations involved have also been used to test supercomputers and high-precision multiplication algorithms.

the universe is FIGURATIVELY infinate
result of how we have to analize it presently

might not be, but

that would only be a guess...

Right you were thinking of acceleration. that's a difference between an accelerated frame of reference. as opposed to a Non-inertial reference frame.

a photon is the collapse waveforms of the Magno and Electro part. I Guess in 3D space, but Maxwell's equations use imaginary numbers and they are at right angles to the Reals, so another dimension. Beyond me.
The particle manifold

Then there's the wave manifold.
Quantum electric Dynamics(Qed)
As i understand it, a Photon exist everywhere at all times moving in and all directions, it could even be moving backwards in time but the description cancels that all out to one vector, (x,y,z), if you treat time as a dimension (x,y,z,t) the observable photon is traveling in a spiral following the space-time curvature Define by you observing making it in an accelerated time frame. Otherwise you'd have to treat the photon in a Non-inertial reference, It's own reference. Until I hits something then it's in an accelerated reference frame.

Qed is verifiable description of Measurable reality, observable reality.

To paraphrase Feynman 'yer not going to like it, I don't like it'
A fascinating historical person
A book plug, check out Q.E.D. by Richard Feynman. I think it's still on the best seller list.


Okay just rambling, tangents, no point. no worries mate. Cuz yanno :bong4:

Review

3.14 is the decimal representation of the ratio 314/100.
3.141=3141/1000.
Ect.


About pi, every time you add another digit to its decimal approximation all you do is getting one significant digit closer to the actual value.

The decimal form doesn't go on forever cuz it doesn't exist. You cannot represent an irrational number as a ratio, that's the definition.
What can goes on forever is yer closer approximation of pi. Not pi.

3.14......
No matter how many significant digits you put on it is just a rational approximization of pi. NOT pi.

3.14... anything, is not pi. Yer not talking about pi. Just an approximation.

Okay I'm repeating myself.
Consider 1/3 which is a rational number yet try representing it in decimal form .333.. ya can't, you need a new notation. 1/3 is finite and does not go on forever either.

I can say for certain what 1/3 is as equal as I can say for certain what pi is.
