Interesting to note that Haly's replies are always on the ball until you ask her something mathematical, where she takes ages to reply...

Ooh conspiracies abound :rolleyes:

Dunno why I bothered trying with Alpha tbh, pointless exercise.

Strange, but true. After all, even if someones memory fails them, Google will return Ashtons Theorum of Banach Spaces within a out 8 seconds (so says that funny time counter on my Google page, but then my Windows XP is horribly slow).

Because your posts imply 1>1, which is obviously false (by definition) and thus cannot be true. Memphisto, you wondered about maths not proving anything it wants, this guys posts are examples. I can use his posts to show 1>1 ;)

3.3 with an infinite number of 3's on the end is not infinite?

What is 3.3r + 3.3r + 3.3r? 9.9r no?

Is 9.9r equal to 10? (The subject of this debate)


lalalaalalalalalalalalal

U dont even know what infinite means here

in this case it mean never ending amount of 3s on the end

yes it does equal 1 for the millionth time.

Fair enough, Ashtons Theorum can be complex if you don't remember the certain "jump" it make (hence its ingeniousness of its idea), but a general sketch of the idea would do fine :)
If I mention the L^2 norm, does it help?

having gone through the equation and some of the proofs and being sat here with an A4 sheet full of numbers I have put through the equation to see if I can catch it out

I will concede that mathematically 0.99r = 1

It takes a better man to admit that.

162 to go :p

I don't remember it fully except for the very basic idea I gave you ;) Like I said, you win, I lose, feel free to enjoy :p

I voted no, but only because i cant stand pig ignorant sciestists who, even in a world as crazy as ours, cannot admit that, for one tiny moment, they might, with the slimmest of possibility be wrong :)

Memphisto, you have my utmost respect. You battled through your opinions, argued with us (after all, one who doesn't at least attempt to defend his views, has no views at all), and eventually listened to logical debate. I would happily buy you a drink, should we ever be in the same pub at the same time :)

This isn't science as you'd know it, like chem or physics. This is maths. Based purely on starting fact, it is completely disjointed to the "real world".
 
Ignoring mathematics as it was never mentioned in the first post but 0.9r=1 is, in my mind, incorrect.

1=1

Just like TODAY=TODAY, not YESTERDAYr=TODAY

I'm just in an arguing mood hence this post ;)


For the record, and my vote.
0.9r (in mathematics) is 1

First & last post in this thread"r" :)

That sounds bad ;)

Off now anyway at least away from this thread. It's not exactly progressing very far anymore after the initial load of interesting posts. :) Yours included btw Alpha ;)

I know my debating style can seem like I can't stand the person, it's not that at all. When I debate I tend to treat it seperately from the person and their personality if that makes sense.

I actually find that quite humerous and indeed it's a bit of an oxymoron that you would describe people who are of the view that 0.9r = 1 like that, especially when it is a proven fact mathematically.

We're not talking about the big bang or evolution whre there is some room for negotiation.

Turns out I made it up :) Ashtons Theorum doesn't exist :D It's the surname of a mate of mine who I thought would bre approprioate for naming such a "theorum" after.

If you truely knew such things, you'd have instantly recognised the lack of Ashtons theorum in Banach spaces.

NEXT TIME DON'T BS YOUR WAY THROUGH A MATHS THEOREM, especially not one so advanced even Google can't help you ;)Hence why you disappearing for 20 minutes to google for "Ashton Theorem, Banach" didn't help you ;) If you do understand such things, I'll meet you in Swansea when I get home in 6 weeks and talk face to face perhaps?
