1/3 = 0.(3)    (or 0.3 repeating, didnt know that until now)
2/3 = 0.(6)
1/3 + 2/3 = 1
0.(3) + 0.(6) logically must be equal to 1 no matter what your philosopher tells you. I\'ve already mentioned that these numbers cannot be properly calculated on calculators, because of their infinity, so their answer of 0.(9) is wrong.


There is no insanity to math. Move on. Nothing else to see here.

 I say both of them. Yea, it\'s complicated but that is the answer.
 And as for these kind of things that guide our lives, think at math. A science of precision, on which most of what we have is based. What if something like math will be proved wrong?

 I almost forgot, here\'s a litlte exercise for you kids ;)

 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = 1

 But what if you actually do ->

 (1 : 3) + (2 : 3) = ? ... is it still one?  :rolleyes:

 Hurray for the math ;)


It is still 1...........

The only way it may be different is on calculators because 1 / 3 = .3 repeating and 2 / 3 = .6 repeating. Calculators do not and cannot have an infinite decimal place, so it has to round at some point, so to a calculator, 2 / 3 = .666666666666666666667. Its the same reason why calculations with PI on calculators are never truely precise.

The 80\'s were cool, and from what i\'ve heard, so were the 70\'s. What the hell happened to us? The fashions of today would get you beat up in school in the 80\'s, now its hip? Khakis and plaid shirts? Civics and Metros with spoilers plaguing the high school parking lots? Say it aint so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite tv shows were Liquid Television and Beavis & Butthead back when MTV was good. Both shows have been cancelled for long time, maybe even 12 years ago for Liquid Television.

I don\'t even watch tv anymore since I can\'t even enjoy my favorite shows without someone smearing my face with stuff I absolutely must right now for a limited time only!!!!!!! I only use my tv for my gc. ^^

I love Lucy, All in the Family, and Married with Children are the best sitcoms ever and will never be replaced.

Heh, thats the funny thing, if people do say they are from the future they are called lunatics and ignored so as far as we know there could be hundreds of them.


So THATS who\'s taking up so much traffic in our streets, jerks from the future watching us from the road in their honda civics! I always wondered why I see more cars than houses no matter where I went. :P

All I can say is that none of us will probably be alive when the answer is clear, so I don\'t think it is worth the time explaining why I think time travel is not possible. Besides, how many people have we seen from the future? Then again, they could also be invisible to aviod changing the past, so they are just watching us. o.o eep

There are just too many things as people that we don\'t know and cannot comprehend in order to find this out yet.

If chat logs are your thing, http://bash.org/. Keep in mind that these are uncensored. o.o

Please, just don\'t say something like that to me again.

I\'ve seen and done enough things beyond the \"laws\" of science to know they are... bendable... at the least.


This clearly shows that you know not the definition of \"law\" nor \"science\" :rolleyes: I used to do that whole \"I\'m going to call it \'magick\' because it\'s different\" thing too. It\'s nonsense. What you\'re really bending is your head, not the spoon.


I spend about 10 minutes after watching matrix trying to bend the spoon.. however that\'s normal.  If you have also tried but are still trying, that\'s not normal :D


 I\'ve done it. Its not magic, its science. OMG

That whole bending spoon crap was a trick an old magician did in order to try and start his own cult, showing that he was some sort of magical savior. But he was later exposed as a fake. You can easily bend the spoon if you rub the weak end between the handle and the spoon itself with your thumb and index finger. If you rub it long enough, the friction will heat the weak metal and can be easily bent with your thumb, but you can be slick enough to make it look like you did it with your mind.

There is no spoon, and it is not scooping out your eyes.

Why the hell do you want a cell phone in the first place? I think they are annoying and interrupt the classes with their gay little ringtones. The only thing I can find a cell phone useful for is emergancies when your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, but when is that going to happen? You really want to dish out 40-80 bucks a month for that? Or is the whole fashion statement and you are not cool or worth talking to unless you have a cell phone?  I hate public schools.

The only reason I have one is because my mom bought it for me when I started going to college, and I only use it about once every two months. Waste of money.

This is stupid. There is no such thing as an unmoveable force because all matter is moving, or vibrating, constantly. The absense of complete movement is at absolute zero, the utter lack of energy, and is impossible to reach. However, unstoppable forces are more realistic, but they faze out after a very long time and can pass through most objects, like radio waves. The best answer I can provide is that the unstoppable object will pass through the \"heavy stationary\" object, or simply bounce off and continue its trajectory in a different direction.

Nasa is going to test the effects of causing an explosion on a speeding comet this year on the 4th of July, so be sure be to be looking at the stars that night. ^^ They are calling it, operation Deep Impact, naming it after the movie. o.o

http://www1.nasa.gov/mission_pages/deepimpact/main/index.html
http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/

They intend on sending an explosive satelite in the comet\'s path, observe the explosion, and hope that large chunks of it are sent back to earth. They highly doubt that this explosion will effect the comet\'s trajectory, but its another thing they are testing for.

Try it!

The earth\'s diameter is 12,576 km. ^^

Or how about the moon at 3476 km?

Or any other planets colliding with our world.

Try some more realistic measurements, like a 200 foot meteor hitting a neigboring town from yours. :D

[edit: Whoops, I checked it and 200 ft meteors dont even make it through the atmosphere whole. ^^ Try a 1200 ft meteor instead and see if your clothes survive the thermal radiation.]

Your Inputs:
    Distance from Impact: 8050.00 km = 4999.05 miles
    Projectile Diameter: 1609340.00 m = 5278635.20 ft = 999.40 miles
    Projectile Density: 8000 kg/m3
    Impact Velocity: 51.00 km/s = 31.67 miles/s
    Impact Angle: 50 degrees
    Target Density: 2500 kg/m3
    Target Type: Sedimentary Rock

Energy:
    Energy before atmospheric entry: 2.27 x 1031 Joules = 5.42 x 1015 MegaTons TNT
    The average interval between impacts of this size is longer than the Earth\'s age.
    Such impacts could only occur during the accumulation of the Earth, between 4.5 and 4 billion years ago.

Major Global Changes:
    The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass.
    14.07 percent of the Earth is melted
    The impact does not make a noticeable change in the Earth\'s rotation period or the tilt of its axis.
    The impact does not shift the Earth\'s orbit noticeably.

Crater Dimensions:
    Transient Crater Diameter: 7750 km = 4810 miles
    Transient Crater Depth: 2740 km = 1700 miles
    Final Crater Diameter: 25000 km = 15500 miles
    Final Crater Depth: 6.23 km = 3.87 miles
    The final crater is replaced by a large, circular melt province.
    At this impact velocity ( < 12 km/s), little shock melting of the target occurs.
    Melt volume = 2.54 times the crater volume
    At this size, the crater forms in its own melt pool.

I am so proud of my meteor. :P

I found it strange that a nature reserve in Sri Lanka lost absolutely no animals in the tsunami because they have already ran to the highlands before the wave even hit the shore. I wish people were that in-tune with the Earth.

A very unfortunate catastrophe and my sympathies are with those who have suffered through this.
