  • Since I've been on a Q&A kick in /a/ and /r9k/ recently, I've decided to set up a formspring account for publicly answering 4chan related questions. You'll find it linked in the navbar as "?", and located here: formspring.me/4chan. Also, if you use Twitter, please follow @4chan. As always, I can be contacted via e-mail at moot@4chan.org (Despite the common misconception, I check it frequently and read every message I receive. Nobody seems to e-mail me about anything other than being banned though ;_;)
    EDIT: Site went down due to a hardware issue. Should be fixed now.

    New York's prominence as the financial capital of America can be mostly attributed to the state's decision to construct the Eerie canal. As the canals were competing with basically horse-drawn carts on dirt roads and nothing else, the canal came to dominate trade into the continent and the money moved from Philadelphia into New York in accordance.

    Fucking WRONG. Yes, you touch the same places in your mouth with your tongue, but the movements are different. When you make a 't' sound your tongue is moving forward. A 'd' is your tongue hitting the same spot in the opposite direction.

    Just because you don't notice these nuances with your big fat downie tongue doesn't mean they aren't there. If the movements were exactly the same they'd sound exactly the same.

    Similarly, if each digit of a Googolplex were in 1 point font, the number would be 350000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 miles long. The observable universe is only 8800000000000000000000000000 miles long.

    There is no such think as darkness, only the absence of light. No matter how bright something is, i can ALWAYS get brighter. But once something is pitch black, it cannot possibly get any darker.

    There is no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat. No matter how hot something is, it can ALWAYS get hotter. But once something reaches absolute zero, it cannot possibly get any colder.

    There is no such thing as silence, only the absence of sound. No matter how loud something is, it can ALWAYS get louder. But once something is completely void of all sound, it cannot possibly get any quiter.

    Your body and brain can play some cool tricks on you. Your brain has motion memory from activities your body has done in the past. The more specific the motion, the more specific the memory.

    For example - if you make the motion of shaking a salt shaker on to your tongue, you brain will trick you into tasting salt.

    not shocking, but an important thing that gets overlooked often:
    Black holes are not the space-vacuum-cleaners they are often portrayed as. When a star collapses, the pull stays the same and planets continue to orbit like normal. (maybe some matter is blasted into space in the process, but doesn't matter much)

    on a similar note: The Large Hadron Collider will have particles crashing into each other with 14 TeV, that's 1 or 2 Microjoules. Roughly the energy of sunlight hitting an area the size of one pixel in one second.

    The observable universe is 93 billion light years, which is approximately 8.8 x 10^26 meters.

    actually i'm pretty sure planets would have to be close enough to get completely vaporized and blown away during a supernova. but if the star is interacting gravitationally with another star, that would stay the same.

    There's way more than that. You computed 88!, which gives you the possible number assuming you're starting with the low A key. The actual number would be 88! x 87! x 86! .... x 2! (would that be 88!!?), which is an unfathomably large number.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_vacuum
    The possibility that we are living in a false vacuum has never been a cheering one to contemplate. Vacuum decay is the ultimate ecological catastrophe; in the new vacuum there are new constants of nature; after vacuum decay, not only is life as we know it impossible, so is chemistry as we know it. However, one could always draw stoic comfort from the possibility that perhaps in the course of time the new vacuum would sustain, if not life as we know it, at least some structures capable of knowing joy. This possibility has now been eliminated.

    This is false.

    The 9's repeat infinitely. That means that there is an infinite number of zeros.

    However, that still means that the number is always:

    .000000000000000......infinite zeroes...................00001 away from 1. It does not equal 1.

    You're wrong. It wouldn't be 88! x 87!, etc., it would be 88! + 87!, etc. There's no reason to multiply them together. You have to find the number of combinations that exist while each key is your lowest boundary and add them together. You get about 1 X 10^135. Still a huge number, but not as huge as you thought.

    But it's not infinite zeros. It's infinite zeros with a 1 at the end.

    1 is the limit of the series 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ...

    In general, the limit of a geometric series a+ar+ar^2+ ... is given by a/(1-r). You can easily prove this by induction. In this case a would be 0.9 and r would be 0.1

    Whether you 'believe' this or not is not the issue, I'm asking you to cite sources on human evolution being being hastened through the use of psychotropic substances.

    I want to know how you 'know' this to be true, not just what you believe.
