Always good to see the products of an engineer’s mind Are you still a student by the way or postgrad, what are you studying?
Yup yup but a great many of these particles are naturally restricted to bigger particles and the smallest particles only exist at very small fractions of time and not in all conditions so it would be possible to get matter to a point where these particles won’t be emitted randomly, as far as I’m aware. Measuring them in a hypothetical scenario still makes sense, we just don’t have any equipment to measure something to that smallest possible point. I’m assuming there is a smallest fraction. Perhaps something like an Avogadro’s number for length? My assumption is that since everything is finite from base to whole, if we were to make an infinitely accurate measuring device, we’d end up with a rational number.
I used to think of the possibility of “smallest possible movement” by any particle which would imply that a particle can only move 0.00…1m at a given time and not 0.00…05m to rationalize movement as finite as opposed to infinitely small. Possible?
If self-righteousness and emotionally triggered insults were indicators of being correct, you’d be have the final say. Numbers are concepts. You’ve said “if you were to expand an infinite series, it would take up all matter in the universe pretty quickly”. We’re saying it doesn’t do it “pretty quickly”, it doesn’t have time. Two infinites don’t reach a given number at different times, infinite doesn’t work with speed, it isn’t a number, it’s a concept and it’s irrelevant to time. Freezing time doesn’t let you count [x/0] or pi, assuming you weren’t frozen. Pi will be irrational at 0 time or at infinite time.
You’re assuming that things are constantly growing in time as one goes to smaller measurements. I assure you they aren’t. You can measure the weight of something (and weight measurements are quite accurate), and then measure its length to the smallest possible accuracy. Its weight won’t change regardless of how small you go. Freezing time is irrelevant.
Saying something is bullshit just shows that it opposes your views and that you’re disrespecting the person due to an inability to present a viable argument. If you can’t discuss a logical problem without emotions then there’s nothing to discuss, only argue, which I have no interest in.
