me and my friends where playing league and discord went out completely, we also all got disconnected from league at once and couldn't log back in

I wonder if league hosts their servers in the same farms as discord.

that makes sense

Calculus uses the infinitesimal and builds off of this to derive integrals, differentiation, limits, etc.

the way newton derived everything was by making the assumption that dy = 0 and dx = 0 as two points on a graph get closer and closer

effectively, by doing 0.99999... you infinitely get closer and closer to 1, so we can say the limit of 1-dx as dx approaches 0 is 1.


infinitesimals where a very controversial part of mathematics for a long time since certain mathematicians didn't believe in infinitely small parts of an object, for example in the physical world, you cant divide an atom forever since matter cannot be smaller than Planck's constant. But in math, you can, since it's all in your head.

no because 0.999.. equals 0.999..

you must not believe in calculus then

Look up the pauli exclusion principle

that two or more identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously.

so technically, two particles cannot be in the exact same state (position, velocity, etc.)

so basically the particles in the atoms could never ever be in the same space at the same time, it's impossible

actually, you can have two fermions at the same place at the same time, it's just they have opposite spin and since you know their position very accurately, the uncertainty of the velocity blows up to infinity so it hard to figure out what they would do
