Yeah so I took a well-deserved break from baby-math, because a) I’m a n00b anyway, and b) I wasn’t in the mood for math. It’s not too interesting. So the real symmetry is not between positive and negative ‘numbers’ (whatever they are), but between 0-1 and 1-infinity, and negative numbers…
Yeah so there obviously are numberlines in different bases. Let’s check base 10 first: 0-10-100-1000-10000 etc. 1-9, 10-90, 100-900, 1000-9000 etc. So we can conjecture (obviously it’s true, but hey) that between the ‘first’ and the ‘next’ power of N (10 here) there are N-1 spots that have integers (9…
(Prepare yourself for some really bad math.) I think this is the very final math problem I ever do, because I find it outrageously boring. But I’ll write it down, just for the sake of whatnot. “Infinity” itself seems, as far as I understand, to be poorly understood; and at…
As some might know, I used to be a chess player, but essentially quit some 20+ years ago. Nowadays I’m slow & weak and only play on the internet every now and then. My FIDE of 2129 is probably not even hugely underrated anymore, that’s how bad I have gotten….
