Stephen Hawking. Done a lot for humanity's understanding of the universe, and with immortality he could carry us forever.

It's been teasing me ever since I discovered Starcraft. Does anyone else pronounce Pee-vee-zed instead of Pee-vee-zee ?


Also how come the word "withdrawal" is so hard to pronounce ?

Germans kind of do that if they discovered Starcraft at an age when they couldn't or wouldn't talk in english about it. Z is pronounced Zet in german on it's own. But you'd pronounce the v as vau and not vee(e=i) as well, so Pee vau Zet (e=e)? The Z has a super hard pronunciation in german though, so it's not your zoo kind of z but rather your tsu sound from tsunami.

tl;dr: Germans might do that in some situations.

I fear I would use this ability in the heat of the moment and not realize the repercussions.

A lot of people spring into mind - my third-grade teacher who wouldn't let me do math any other way (including mentally the way my dad taught me) other than her pointlessly long and painfully constructed shitmethods, my sociopathic ex-girlfriend who started a hubbard-esque personality cult around herself, the dumbass who cut me off on the interstate this afternoon because he was too busy having a texting conversation to realize he was changing lanes, going 85, and accelerating... yet while I despise all of these people, I don't feel that they've deserved a fate quite this bad.

You see, such a person would be subjugated to the worst possible form of punishment the human race has yet to see. They would live their lives unknowing of their curse, and then the magic would begin to happen. Everyone around them will die. They will lose everyone they ever knew. They will not be able to love, since everyone else will die, and only create more eternal suffering. Their anguish will last thousands of years. The human race will evolve and change; they will remain the same, a relative caveman in their time. They will be a science experiment at best and a sideshow freak at worst. Yet humanity would march onward, for who else would adopt this curse, williingly or not?

Assuming the human race survives, it will need to move as the Sun dies and swallows the inner planets. But all things die. All things, of course, except our victim. Our victim will witness the death of every star in the universe. And then all will become dark. The universe at this stage shall consist of nothing but black holes, and even if our victim gets a bit too close to one and experiences the wonders of spaghettification, they still will not die.

Black holes evaporate. Yet our victim is left, alone, in a universe that has otherwise reached its final state. Everything they knew has been extinguished magnitudes of years ago. They will be alone. Forever.

As much as I would love to have this ability, I could never bear to use it on anyone.

We have helicopters.

Honestly the biggest problem with developing flying cars is dealing with all the safety and traffic regulations which make it unprofitable. I think the future is going to go towards public transit rather than individual transportation.

So I was watching Day[9]'s story time about graham's number.
+ Show Spoiler +


I also know that π is irrational number, so somewhere in it there is every combination of digits, such as my birthday, yours, bank account of Bill Gates and its pin-code, etc.

So my stupid question is: does the order happens in π after graham's number of written digits or somewhere in π the graham's number is written?
(My opinion is the second option. Am I right?)

Im sorry, I didn't understand what order you meant. :< Though, it's highly probable that whatever order you mean, it's in the first Graham's number of Pi's digits, since Graham's number is too damn big.

Order = sequence... Will π stop being irrational if we could write down Graham's number of Pi's digits?

No. Pi being irrational has nothing to do with the amount of digits written down (well, kinda, since one of the effects of being irrational is that it is impossible to write down all of the digits of that number)

For example, take 1/7. Totally rational number. Still an infinite series of digits.

The whole point of an irrational number is that it is not a fraction. However, anything written as a decimal is fundamentally a fraction (0.18 = 18/100 etc) Thus, Pi being irrational (it has been proven that it is, you can look it up if you want) means that it is impossible to completely write it as a fraction. Thus it does not matter how many numbers you can write down, because they are never exactly Pi.

haha i learnt this in my studies as well. though cant remember much of it.

I think Grahams number works only on structural analysis of networks or simliar problems. as Sean said, it can tell something about the size that a system has to have to at least have one of a variety of patterns.
like how many blue or red socks can you put in a drawer before you either have 2 red socks in it or 2 blue. answer 1 red and one blue ^^
ill add some more when i have more time.

You might ask, whats the use of that proclamation, when the Grahams number is so ridiculously big. The thing is, that the Grahams number shows that patterns will arise eventually, so its not indefinite. in math that can be quite an important thing, because after that you can usually break it down to smaller pieces. but before you do that you want to know if your work might be futile.
for example in the map coloring problem, when it was new, lets imagine somebody found a way to paint any map with 1502045 colors, so then mathematicans would have known that at least no map exists, that needs an indefinite number of colors.
after that it could then be lowered to smaller numbers and eventually 4.

i dont think PI has any structural patterns, so Graham wont tell you anything about it

Since π continues on for infinity, it therefore will contain graham's number within it at some point.
