The Communication Cube


Down to my last one.

It takes half as long to cross that half distance and half as long again, until you are eventually taking an infinitely short period of time to cross an infinitely short distance. Distance/time infinities cancel each other out and you reach your destination.
All those infitly short lengths of time would add back up to infinity . Even if its negative infinity . Meaning it would either take no time whatsoever or all time to cross . Or more likely THEY WOULD cancel out and making movement impossible .
This is one of Zeno's nine paradoxes http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes
 
  1. You stand some way from a radio antenna and take a signal strength reading
  2. You walk halfway to the antenna and take another reading
  3. Since the distance has halved, the signal strength quadruples (inverse square law)
  4. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4
  5. Since you travel half the distance each time, you will never reach the antenna
  6. So, as you travel towards the antenna,  the signal strength quadruples. repeatedly. for ever. Ad infinitum.
  7. All radio masts transmit at infinite power!

That isn't how math works.

 Only because some acient greco roman math nerd decided it would work that way . Vedic mathamatics would work better . ironically im typing from math class where im on the verge of failing :( . dont worry i already did days assignment :rolleyes:
