Can you explain Wave-Particle duality while rhyming?

Ahem.
When asked if matter is a wave,
or if it is a particle.
I realize it's both and crave
to read another article

matter's form is ever changing
photons, protons, atoms, ions,
forming different energies and......

no.

You sir, are now on my list of "favorite people ever".

How can I solve the time travel paradox?
if you don't know what I am referring to, here is basic premise, presented by the top on my list of favorite robots ever.

1) Why thank you.
2) If one dost travel back in time with the piggy, one will keep the history that they originally owned while also relocating to the new timeline. Why would one keep their history? Because an extra chain would be formed by their movement, and even though it would detach, it would continue to hold on to that person's consciousness.

I lost my girlfriend AND my best friend, the girlfriend was her choice, the best friend was my choice. I feel lonelier than I have ever been and I feel like shit, but for some reason I feel everything worked out like it was supposed to.

Can you explain why I feel that way?

Because you are a Lithen in disguise and find anything decided by fate to be right, regardless of outcome or implications. Well you may not be a Lithen, but you appear to share part of their attitude in the recesses of your mind. Humans actually have conflicting feelings at work all the time to be honest; it's a large part of their mental structure's flaws.

What would be the proper procedure for a plane on approach for a carrier landing if their landing gear did not give a Locked indication?

There's a step by step process involved in dealing with such a situation.
Step 1) Realize your mistake.
Step 2) Attempt fruitlessly to fix your mistake.
Step 3) Become Relentlessly afraid (shitting your pants is optional)
Step 4) Pray to your respective deities (Atheists laugh maniacally and curse their luck)
Step 5) Apologize to the people on the Aircraft carrier you're about to crash into over the radio.
Step 6) Die in an explosion.
Step 7) Join the Marines.

I would probably
Step 1) Assume mechanical failure of gear, as opposed to Landing Gear Indicator False Warning
Step 2) Request a visual inspection of gear
Step 3) Pass over carrier landing deck at low speed for crew inspection
Step 4a) If the gear visually appears to be in the locked position, proceed with caution for another landing run as normal
Step 4b) If the gear's status could not be completely verified, proceed with caution for an emergency landing with net and arrestor wires
Step 4c) If the gear never extended, there's probably not much you're going to be able to do about it: Choose between
Step 5a) Redirect for emergency landing at nearest airbase, airport airfield, aerodrome, etc.
Step 5b) Consider ditching via water landing
Step 5c) Consider ditching via bailing out

Please answer my question :-(

How can I get a girlfriend?

Well, I can't give you a full guide but...
*looks at name*
You could just stop being an annoying turd, that would help.
Also, pay attention to everything, but only use it when it helps your target...

Does the decimal representation of the square root of 2 contain infinitely many 7s?

 

[Ymbirtt]

Does the decimal representation of the square root of 2 contain infinitely many 7s?

It's an irrational number, so it contains infinitely many numbers including 7s.

0.12345689101112131415161819... is an irrational number.

0.12345689101112131415161819... is an irrational number.

Can that number not be in the fractional form:

0.12345689101112131415161819/1

and thus actually be a rational number?

(Unless the ellipses is implying that the number is recurring or continuing further forever and ever and ever)

Never mind, previous post has answered this.

You do realize that there is an infinite number of digits after the "...", right? Infite means never-ending not pretty huge.

True, but I can find a never ending list of integers that don't contain a 7.

Three medium-sized logs.

Well, I'm no mathematican, but irrational roots kind of represent a proportion that gets more and more accurate as more digits are involved. I think that to make this proportion infinitely accurate you would need 7s and since the digits go on forever there would be an infinite number of them.

It's actually really difficult to give any reasonable answer, and I don't think anyone's figured it out either way. It's true that there are sevens in the decimal representation of the square root of 2, but it's totally possible for there to be some sort of a "cutoff point", beyond which there are no more sevens and the number continues in the way I described above. There's no way that I've heard of for proving whether it does this or not.

OK, fine, it's slightly dickish of me to ask a question when I already know the "answer", but procrastinating exam revision does terrible things.

Assuming this is still going on, I have a question:
Assuming the answer to the ultimate question is "42", and the meaning of life is for a society to develop touchscreen smartphones, (Evidence: http://goats.com/archive/090107.html ) is the ultimate question: "How many years must a society survive after having developed touchscreen smartphones in order to achieve perfection?"?

how much wood, would a woodchuck actuually chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood?

11 logs of R5"xH1' wood.

Does the decimal representation of the square root of 2 contain infinitely many 7s?

Yes, as some people have actually pointed out, however, since it goes on forever, there might be a point where it stops switching between numbers, or a point where it ceases to have sevens but continues to extend. If that were to be so, the number would have a finite number of sevens, but an infinite number of digits. However that's impossible to know for sure, seeing as the number stretches infinitely and therefore cannot be monitored for any kind of pattern without becoming rational.

where is the next zero punctuation video?

In the future relative to this post.

Assuming this is still going on, I have a question:
Assuming the answer to the ultimate question is "42", and the meaning of life is for a society to develop touchscreen smartphones, (Evidence: http://goats.com/archive/090107.html ) is the ultimate question: "How many years must a society survive after having developed touchscreen smartphones in order to achieve perfection?"?

No, because the answer to life, the universe and everything is actually counter-clockwise, because the only question the universe needs an answer to is which way to spin.
HOWEVER, if we were to use 42 as the answer to the ultimate question, the actual question would be "Velt ses varsees neron geretos berar." Which loosely translates to "How many times do I have to tell these idiots to stop exploring philosophy!?"

Is the Euler?Mascheroni constant irrational?

Only if my kitchen is on fire in the next thirty minutes, if not sorry...I'll get back to you on that.

1) Because the only thing worse than hearing "THE FIRE TRUCKS ARE COMING!!" yelled into your ear, is having it yelled into your ear in a high-pitched squealy voice that makes deaf people happy to be incapable of being annoyed by it.
...or because you are not a fan of children and therefore the voices they tend to have.

2)Because humans have dedicated themselves to being as half-obsessed with sex as possible, to the extent that having undergone intercourse with someone once, and not having been with over 200 partners and therefore desensitized, immediately marks that person as a post it note in the back of the head that speaks up and yells at you whenever it becomes either:
A) impossible to repeat
B) Terrible
C) Interesting enough to repeat
D) Dead
or
E) Any combination of the above.

(Also, my kitchen's not on fire, Euler's constant is rational, huzzah! Well, there is now a 67.829% chance that it is rational.)
