Actually, this is a dope thread IMHO. Too many things are taking for granted without people really understanding it. No such person trying to increase their knowledge can be considered stupid, and in fact, quest for knowledge is a form of intelligence, because the wise man knows he doesn't know everything, and seeks more knowledge from those who have it.
Too often we close the door behind us in our own world of reasoning, once we feel content with how we think it initially works and some of us don't ever try opening that door again.

But a rational number is not an irrational number and when adding the one cant simply ignore the irrational part. In essence 1/3 x 3 is not the same answer as .33inf × 3 by simple spplication of the rules of addition.

But 1/3 and .33inf are the same thing. 1/3 stands for .33inf. :jbhmm:

No they are not. One refers to an operation, the other to an approximation secondary to the operation. You may ask why is the approximation acceptable but first you must realize that 1/3 is an idealized notion created to imagine various concepts for our particular affairs and such perfect quanta are only realized in quantum manipulations such as entangled photons and the like. In the real world it is hard to ever known when something is exact.

I haven't studied the intricacies of math/science, I'm simply asking a question. You seem like a pretty decent type, the type to not resort to name calling and general bashing of the honestly inquisitive. With that being said, this is not in my field, what the hell did you just say? In layman's terms please. I was up with you until entangled photons.

Not really.

It just means that it's impossible to cut anything into exact thirds unless the universe is analog.

Even though we have evidence that the universe is digital, I still say it's analog.

math is just math it has nothing to do with the universe and photons :what:

why do you idiots think every number has to represent something physical :dead:

dumb smart ass naS stans

you idiots watch too many pop science documentaries

0.333333 (terminating at some point) is an approximation
3 repeating is not

ok so
1. even if I wanted to name call, I suck at it and it makes me queasy, so I rarely do it
2. it's like this, most things you measure in your regular life will have some degree of error
so when you cut that pizza in 1/3rds you can never be sure that it is exactly 1/3
when you do lab experiments, say a chemical assay/reaction, your measurements are never perfect as written in the chemical equation reaction, you may say that you collected 1 gram of sulfonyl chloride but even the scale used to measure everything will have a certain degree of acceptable error
integers are naturally ideal, they represent something you rarely experience in real life

well let's go through it piece by piece

idealized notion
something perfect

created to imagine various concepts
made up so we can imagine something imaginary
for our particular affairs

say you are in ancient egypt and you want to separate you acres of land from that of your neighbors
you are going to need to imagine and measure an area, and give solid numbers which can never be solidly measured (in an ideal perfect way, sort like not being able to know the measurable shortest distance possible or the atomic middle)
such perfect quanta are only realized in quantum manipulations such as entangled photons and the like
an entangled photon is the perfect opposite of its twin, nature creates this exactitude.

:snoop:

yeah you can't have a perfect third of a pizza in reality

what does that have to do with the abstract concept of a third

so you admit that 1/3 is an abstract concept and idealized as perfect ?:sas2:

DeAndre Jordan took 21 free throws.
He hit 7 of them.
DeAndre Jordan made 1/3 of his free throws, exactly. It is not idealized as perfect, it is in fact the exact and precise description of DeAndre Jordan's abysmal free throwing accuracy in the game.
