I have the 100th post of this thread. Ha ha.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

ok, the oposite of moving +x is moving -x, right? xyz coordinates. so, if you can't move +x, reducing this to the coordinate system itself, that means that you can't move +x becuase the x dimension does not exist. therefore you can't move -x. so, in order to move +x, you must have dimension x, which means that you must be able to move -x. fyron, you still interested?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Umm... I'm not following the logic of that paragraph. If you have an xyz coordinate grid, or even an xy coordinate plane (or just a x number line), then you can move in x and -x directions. Why do you say you can't? Where do you get the x dimension does not exist? It must exist if you have xyz coordinate grid...

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

well, the only way to eliminate +x movement is to eliminate the whole x dimension. a 'things can't exist without there oposite' kind of thing.

What is the opposite of 2? Is it -2 or is it 1/2, or is it something else?
What is the opposite of 0? Is it 1, or is it infinity, or something else?

In a binary world, the opposite of Zero would be One.

you looked to much at the math. -x is the opposite of +x becuase they oppose each other.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Math the only way to look at numbers and number comparisons, etc? It surely isn't. One can use logic systems, which while related to math are most assuredly not math.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Logical evaluation of number systems is a type of math, actually. It is called Discrete Mathematics.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Discrete Mathematics is a method of combining logical method and problem solving with mathematical equations. It is not all inclusive of Logical comparisons of numbers and other areas.

Even if it where I could still show that your original statement:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">is false by simply making up a nonsensical way of comparing numbers and variables. It would make no sense and have no meaning but it would still be a way it could be done.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

My statement was not a logical proof. It was not all-inclusive. I did not bother ruling out nonsense methods that do not give any useable results because there was never a reason to do so, and there still is not. So, the method of disproving it by finding one possible way in which it does not hold is not applicable.

me. you. me going one way. you not moving. we solved unstopable force and imoveable object.
*falls over from exertion*
well, maybe not.
anyway, i was talking about +x movement and -x movement. you seem to be talking about +x math and -x math. i was more talking about concepts. moving one way, moving oposite way. must have something to move on. no move one way, no move oposite way. narf's brain tired.
*starts bouncing the ball*
weeeee!!

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

Movement is directly related to mathematics in every regard. Movement in the x or -x direction is based off of physical formulae, which are indeed mathematics. A coordinate system is 100% arbitrary to begin with, so we can assign it to your path of movement however we want to. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

you havn't proven me wrong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
and i think i have come up with oposites that wouldn't exist without each other. are we doing more than going in circles, though?

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

I never said there are no opposites that would not exist without each other. But your point was that everything that exists must have an opposite. This is what I have argued is wrong. There are many things out there without opposites, and they exist just fine.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

i came up with one for a clock:)
but i don't think this is going anywhere. we've started to repeat ourselves.

Yes, and your Last post simply rehashed statements I had already disproven, so there was no need to repost the same things again.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No. Anti-matter does not have to exist for matter to exist. Any specific matter item does not have to have an anti-matter equivalent to exist. Take your computer for an example. For an AM comp to have to exist for it to exist, then there would have to be AM humans that performed all of the exact same historical actions as us matter humans. They would have to have evolved in the same way, had all the same achievements at the same exact time, etc. This is of course so improbable to have happened that we can say with certainty that it could never have happened. So, this is why a matter item does not have to have an AM equivalent to exist. AM is not some mystical opposing force in the universe to matter. It is simply a theoretical class of particles that have opposing charges and spins to the equivalent matter particles.

What is the theoretical background that indicates that it does exist.
Is it based upon observations or is it somekind of mathematical theory that states that it must exist in order to let ordinary clock's exist??
