Blue is the combination of Purple and anti-red
The grandfather paradox is an instant classic.
Also I forget the name but what's the smallest number not nameable in under 10 words?
I say it again what's
1. The
2. Smallest
3. Number
4. Not
5. Nameable
6. In
7. Under
8. Ten
9. Words?
No...that's exactly what I am talking about...purple doesn't exist as a singe wavelength, since it would have to be infrared and ultraviolet at the same time. I only exists as the combination of two wavelengths (one red, one blue). If you'd map all colors to a circle, you would have purple between blue and red, but in real life the spectrum is linear, with red on one end and blue on the other. The combination of them is not on that.Stephanos132 said:Surely that'd be the other way round, unless purple is ultraviolet and infrared at the same time...Piflik said:Sorry, but purple is not a wavelength of light. In fact it is the only color that doesn't exist as a wavelength. Visible light goes from red (long) to blue (short); purple would be shorter than blue and at the same time longer than red...
I must be missing something but I don't get the picture right now.FalloutJack said:Best paradox? Here you go.
Oh, and on the subject of irresistable force VS an immovable object? The universe moves instead...
Did you say orange flavored cola?Dragonpit said:Uh...huh. The thing about the immovable object and the unstoppable force is that it is meant to describe two equal but opposing forces clashing, in which there are only three possible outcomes.
1: They clash for all eternity.
2: They destroy each other completely and simultaneously.
3: A third force intervenes, thereby changing the course of things, regardless of whether or not the third force survives.
Now, here are things to think about. I'm not sure if they're paradoxes, but I'll leave that to all of you.
Has anyone ever spoken Japanese with a British accent?
Why have they not made a orange-flavored Coca-Cola?
Would a rainy day constitute as a form of twilight?
That is, assuming that Achillies takes the same amount of time to cover each of the distances.reyttm4 said:The paradox of motion named 'Achilles And The Tortoise"
In the paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise, Achilles is in a footrace with the tortoise. Achilles allows the tortoise a head start of 100 metres. If we suppose that each racer starts running at some constant speed (one very fast and one very slow), then after some finite time, Achilles will have run 100 metres, bringing him to the tortoise's starting point. During this time, the tortoise has run a much shorter distance, say, 10 metres. It will then take Achilles some further time to run that distance, by which time the tortoise will have advanced farther; and then more time still to reach this third point, while the tortoise moves ahead. Thus, whenever Achilles reaches somewhere the tortoise has been, he still has farther to go. Therefore, because there are an infinite number of points Achilles must reach where the tortoise has already been, he can never overtake the tortoise
