Ask a physicist anything. (4)

The fact that you're using 5s and this being for phone numbers also further complicates things, since we'd have to exclude all the numbers with a 555 prefix... I think the only valid 555 number is (XXX)555-1212

How much would you like to do this?

Me. The universe is interesting, but a real spoilsport sometimes.

In a similar vein:

Correct.


They're both colloquialisms by which we answer the old adage that "Ex nihilo, nihilo est".


Existence is boolean; you either exist, or you don't. The English language demands we treat non-existence as a 'state', when it's really not. It's not a thing whence comes others, like a train station, and 'nothingness' is what we call the 'state' when nothing exists.

Thanks, that helps. Can we say the same for water as compare to gravity? You know, like the reversal effect how we can breathe on land but not in water, and the same goes for fish.

I... don't understand.

I currently have 4,914,478,542 blessings in my savings account.

If I just let it sit there and earn 1% interest weekly, how long before I hit 100 billion of these little buggers?

B(t) = 1.01[sup]t[/sup]*4914478542
B(t) = 10[sup]11[/sup]

1.01[sup]t[/sup]*4914478542 = 10[sup]11[/sup]
=> t = (ln(10[sup]11[/sup] / 4914478542)) / ln(1.01)
=> t = 534.21

So 535 weeks, or about ten years.

Maths!

Research, work in the financial sector for epic lulz and great justice (and $$$), industry work (instrumentation, metrology etc.)

Did this receive when you required out back last thread; I mean like when I push old people down the stairs, you know that I'm bored.

We chuckle about 'dark matter' - can't believe you guys actually feel for that stuff

Dude, I'm pretty sure quantum mechanics was just Planck trolling everyone.

Also "feel for that stuff"? Isn't that what we do?

I fully understand what you just said.

Like a helicopter: their wings swirl in peculiar ways, which creates a vortex above them. This vortex sucks them up into the air, and, thus, they fly!

Seriously though, I did just mean research, or work in finance or industry. That's where physicists tend to end up.
