nick, its a trap.

Ah , it’s a new concept , I don’t believe any other person has thought of it before , not hawking or newton or Einstein
I don’t know |

By:
detraveller, I refer you to my post at 14:30
If you put in hours of study today and find a horse for tomorrow which you back with confidence at 2/1, what if someone 200 miles away has the same horse as the last leg of a 10-fold after the previous nine have won? |

By:
Look at it this way , the only way that the mathematical theory of probability can be true is if we live in an infinite universe of infinite time and if we are infinite
But we aren’t , we only live for 70 years Therefore that means there is a fundamental flaw in maths In probability , and in all other sectors of mathematics |

LFC, I don't know whether you're right or not but would you care to address the point in my previous post?
|
|
By:
Of course if we do live in an infinite universe of infinite time ( and we might )then the laws of maths could be correct , they just won’t be correct for ourselves
So for all practical purposes the laws of maths are fundamentally flawed ( either in fact or as they exist ) |
|
By:
TIME , that’s the important thing nick

And what is the probability of tails on the 100th toss given 99 previous tosses resulted in tails. The issue of whether the coin is biased must be considered. |
|
By:
It is assumed its not biased. But that's all irrelevant now anyways since either way, the laws of math are flawed.
|
|
By:
NEVER Heard such garbage in all my life...
Firstly time does not exist, and if you believe it is a thing, well then show it to me. Second, however old you live to has absolutely nothing to do with the odds of the next coin flip. It's complete petulant bollox to try and state otherwise. |
|
By:
Is it the first time you've read any of lfc's posts?
|
|
By:
no, i get it Det......
|
|
By:
Let's not mince words here lfc is clearly barmy. But the rooms example is difficult to get your head around. Infinity, of which there are many different forms, is a difficult concept for me.
His idea of probability is clearly wrong. The issue of whether maths exists in the absence of a universe (and hence time) has been discussed innumerable times. It's too difficult for me to get an angle on. |
|
By:
It’s perfectly straightforward I’ve done the hard work of thinking
Here it is , every time you walk 100 yds you prove that there is a fundamental flaw in maths If there wasn’t you would never be able to walk 100 yds But you must be able to walk 100 yds , because if you couldn’t then time wouldn’t exist And if time didn’t exist the universe wouldn’t exist And you wouldn’t exist Understand now ? |
|
By:
Thanks for that lfc. Yes I do understand. You're barmier than I thought.
|
|
By:
They said the same thing about Einsteins theory
|
|
By:
Get a copy of Quantum Physics for Dummies.
|
|
By:
That’s basic stuff , I like to think of something original , I’ve done that
That’s difficult to do |
|
By:
Go on lfc humor us what have you done original?
|
|
By:
Might have to patent these last two pages of chit chat
|
|
By:
Talking like a tw@t has been done many times before but I must admit you're good at it.
|
|
By:
Here it is , every time you walk 100 yds you prove that there is a fundamental flaw in maths
If there wasn’t you would never be able to walk 100 yds There are infinite amount of real numbers between 1 and the next smallest real number you could think of after 1. How come I can still count to 2? Comparing apples with oranges is your expertise and not having a brain helps you do that without worrying about the consequences. |
|
By:
And of course my argument is true because I will die at 70 and time works in reverse too.
|
|
By:
It’s all there detraveller , I’ve explained it all
Read it again , and try to understand There’s no point reading words of course , if you don’t understand words |
|
By:
Like I said, i'll die at 70. So clearly there is a flaw in your thinking.
|
|
By:
Deary me detraveller , and you were the one who couldn’t understand the empty hotel room question
I explained that to you also No need to say thanks |
|
By:
Tea time

Must be a luxury mental institution that. Enjoy.

lfc has an infinite ability to catch people in his net
 who would deny that? |
|
By:
what a plankWalking 100 yards is a physical act completely unrelated to time... |
|
By:
|
|
By:
No Charles, sorry to correct you, he was not speaking of the amount but of the 'ability' which is clearly infinite because he will die at 70......
I'm sorry if you don't understand that as i have thought about it so it must be correct |
|
By:
off course if the net is not sustainable he will still have the ability but the net will be empty
|
|
By:
pecker I don't mind being corrected but I have no fckin idea what you are on about
|
|
By:
sorry charlie but he doesnt need an infinite number of potential victims to have an infinite ability to catch people in his net. he is so successful at what he does many of his victims return time and again, one victim may be caught an infinite number of times
anything's possible i read it somewhere. |
|
By:
that's how i feel also when lfc posts, which was my point
|
|
By:
The best part was when lfc said he wanted to patent this thread. As if some other nutter is going to steal that theory of his.

What’s the answer to the hotel thing?
Surely it’s not the moving people round rubbish (which has nothing to do with infinity, you can do it with 10 rooms and 11 people, it’s not a solution) Isn’t the answer just no you can’t get any more people in if all the rooms are occupied? |
|
By:
The answer is indeed moving people to the next room.
How do you do it with 10 rooms and 11 people? |
