The universe is not expanding into anything. the void is no thing. nothing. The void is not infinite it is not anything to ascribe to it any property makes no sense. There is no space-time outside of the universe and in fact to say outside of the universe makes no sense. I'm all for your interest in 0 and ifinity. Keep thinking. one flaw in your argument is your wording of the universe.

]]> Comment on Lord of the Flies by ASLI http://www.organicmechanic.org/2007/08/lord-of-the-flies/comment-page-1/#comment-9448 ASLI Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:42:53 +0000 http://www.organicmechanic.org/2007/08/lord-of-the-flies/#comment-9448 This book totally captivated me. For those who managed to understand the true meaning of it, there were a lot of messages hidden. I think Goldberg has done a perfect job :) After reading more than half of it, I must admit that as a 15 year old kid, I was terrified when I understood where the book was leading to. I agree that some parts of it might have been unrealistic, but hey, it is completely by chance that children with such characteristics were drawn together on that island. Goldberg is trying to tell us that there are people with good and descent characteristics in this world, as well as rotten apples. To the ones who think this book isn't good, that is your idea but seriously guys, this is literature. Lord of the Flies is an allegorical and a representational novel (if you know what that means). It's not a piece of cake. Therefore before complaining about it's difficulty or saying it bores you, look over your english knowledge once again. Either that, or you didn't pay enough attention to the book. This book totally captivated me. For those who managed to understand the true meaning of it, there were a lot of messages hidden.

If we agree that the amount of positive and negative numbers is infinite, that is, we can continue counting them forever and never run out of numbers to count, then surely this formula holds true: n + (-n) = 0 Infinite positive numbers plus infinite negative numbers would be equal to zero in the same way that 1 + (-1) = 0.

All my highschool class mates played this game when ever we got together. I have since forgotten. Now live in Pennsylvania and here they play "500" and Euchre.

First of all, this is all theoretical, so nothing we argue can be set in stone until further proved. If you think about it, everything we measure is relative. Nothing has velocity unless compared to another point or object with a different velocity. The same concept of relativity applies to everything else as well. If we assume infinity exists, which we don't know, it includes all matter and energy and whatnot. Infinity is all existence. If it is all existence, it becomes the standard, the means of comparison, the constant. The zero. If everything is moving at an infinite velocity, then as a means of comparison, everything is moving at zero velocity. I somewhat agree but I think you are coming at it from the wrong approach.
