Paradoxes

[Inv3rted]

As for any paradoxes involving moving at the speed of light, you can't unless you have no mass. Therefore by doing so you are implying you have a store of an infinite amount of energy, which is impossible.

I'm going to mention the grandfather paradox because I'm a lazy cunt and I don't want to read through the whole thread.

If you go back in time (somehow, my best bet is going faster than the speed of light as that would make your relative time negative according to relativity, but as I said that's not possible) and shoot your grandfather before he has children, what happens?

My best bet is that the very fact that you exist shows that you have not shot your grandfather, and therefore no matter how hard you try your efforts will fail. There are other hypotheses that say you'll enter a tangent off of your native dimension, and some that say that you'll simply cease to exist.

Ah, but you see:
5 feet + 2.5 feet + 1.25 feet + .625 feet + .3125 feet = 9 feet and 8 inches near the door

Like I said, you have to be really loving skinny to not touch that.

He is not referring to a human who has volume, but rather a singularity which is infinitesimal.

He is not referring to a human who has volume, but rather a singularity which is infinitesimal.

I don't mean to start an argument, but the fact that he stated this:

If there is a door 10 feet away from you, and every time you walk to it, you go half the distance to the door ( First 5 feet, then 2.5, etc.) You would never reach the door.

That implies that he is talking to a human, seeing that (as far we know) there are no "nonhuman" on the internet.

And if you do take into fact that he is talking about a singularity, then he is copying what I posted, and I'm sure he read it before posting.

Yeah, I'm just saying that's what he meant.

OK, somewhat of a twist on what I have been seeing so far:

So, you do a "thing" (a step, a mathematical calculation, whatever) and each time, it gets half as small, going towards a specific point. (Example: trying to get to one: 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, etc.) However, each "thing" takes 0 time. How long does it take you to get there?

you can never get there

[Mags]

No but it takes no time to take one "step", so you should get there in both 0 and infinity seconds simultaneously.

What you're essentially asking is: Can you reach infinity with an infinite amount of time?
