Fyron's 5000th Post

[Fyron]

Read back in the thread. I posted counters to every argument posted for the existence of a clock's opposite.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

My arguments have had far fewer holes in them than those arguing for an anti-clock, actually. [Wink]

Your point about something useless being the opposite of something useful does not mean that all useful things actually have something that is the opposite of them. In fact, almost none of them do. Only a very small range of objects/ideas/concepts actually have an opposite. You have yet to prove that there is anything that could be the opposite of a clock (even with a narrower definition of what a clock is).

that was your Last post on the clock.

it's an anti-matter device that never lets any clock run and always gives incorrect time.
unless you want the oposite of a single clock, in which case it only has to never let that clock run.
and for most of this, theoretical is as good as were gonna get.

and that's my Last post on the clock and i think i met all the requirements.

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

[Fyron]

Not that I can with 100% certainty state this, but I have some dault as to if such an anti-matter anti-clock device actually exists...
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??

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.

I'd like to know how come that every thread started by fyron or every thread that was started that metioned fyron or were about fyron turns into a scientific/political/religious/philosophical discussion, and fyron gets to add another 500 Posts to his already 5000-strong Posts.

Edit: Darn "<>"s.

It is true! Terran C speaks the truth Lol

Nah Fyron's just very strongly opinionated, that or he doesn't suffer fools gladly

Its a conspiracy.

Or he just likes debating stuff...
