I got eleven messages explaining how division by zero isn't possible - and most of them deserve a TL;DR tag. If it takes that much explanation then I simply don't think it's worth knowing. I can go without.

Changing anything in the past if time travel were possible:
If you change something in the past, in the time you decided to go back and change it there will be no need for you to do so, so you won't, so it will be unchanged, so you will decide to go back and change it, meaning you won't feel the need to change it etc etc...

in regards to the god paradox, if we are talking about the christian god, the trinity of father, son, and holy spirit, then yes, he can create a boulder that he cannot lift, as god the father, who is still the trinity, creates it, and god the son, jesus, the human, who is also the trinity, cannot lift it, by fault of being human.
now, my own paradox, if you can call it that, its more of an infinity theme: in one inch, there are an infinite amount of points. we shall label this as one infinite. now, there are also an infinite amount of points in two inches, yet, because it is twice the length of one inch, it contains 2 infinite amount of points

you cant end the thread it doesn't exist remember! and i never really learned much about physics yet so is space actually infinite? if so how the hell is it expanding?2xDouble said:Yep. Nothing and everything change simultaneously while remaining exactly the same. (That's why it's called Chaos Theory.)Trippy Turtle said:doesn't this mean the event of nothing changing anything ever has to happen as well? which means your statement kills itself and i will be handing it to the paradoxians to protect our planet!2xDouble said:Yes and No. (heh, paradox!) The answer is: the time it takes for someone run the crosswalk (or stop light, depending on external conditions) and run your ass over. heh. Chaos theory (i think it was chaos theory. it might have been something else...) states that as time approaches infinity, all possible outcomes, no matter how unlikely, can and will occur (fun stuff, theoretical physics).Silent observer said:You'll never make itSquidden said:
The fact that anything exists or doesn't exist is itself a paradox. Cool, huh?
(Actually that isn't why it's called Chaos Theory, but it adds a nice dramatic effect, no?)
It goes to show just how effin' long infinite time is, and how effin' big is infinite space.

OT:
You succeed? For instance, if you say to yourself "I will purposely lose this round of TF2." and you lose your plan has succeeded, you didn't really fail because you didn't want to win.randomrob said:
EDIT: Or if you were to win that hypothetical round, you will have failed because succeeding was not your goal.
In the Netwtonian Universe, there are an infinite number of stars, the Universe is infinitely big, and infinitely old. Ergo, everywhere you look in this infinite Universe, there are stars. So this should add up, and the night sky should be as bright as a star. But it is not. Why is the night sky dark?

Some of these remind me of something one of my insufferably smart buddies did in Math once. He tried to prove that i (the imaginary number equaling the square root of -1) is equal to 1. It went something like this.
i = 1
i^4 = 1^4
1 = 1
I know it doesn't actually work, but damned if he doesn't make me think it does. I think he used a similar method to prove that 1 = 0 or something stupid like that.
