CSN, I didn't say I was crawling off to bed as well. Or too. I said 'myself'. That doesn't imply Serpent is doing the same.Quote:

You may know math real good, but didja know that the round earth means different parts of the world experience different times of day simultaneously?
Apparently not!!
;)
I am highly familiar with that time difference.
I used to live in Singapore and return to the States for summers. Seven years of this. People complain about jet lag in four/five hour time differences and I want to smack them. Try staying awake for 28 hours just to get close to being on the right schedule.
Well, think about this, then. We don't really know for sure that the universe is three dimensional space. It might be four dimensional. We know that it is three dimensional locally. That's all. But local don't mean nothing.Quote:

To understand this idea, think about this. Nobody tells you this until you're in high level mathematics. A straight line is actually a circle. It's a circle with an infinite radius. You are only looking at an infinitessimal part of it and, in that tiny part, it's straight.
Or, you know how people thought the world was flat? That's because, locally, the world IS flat. You have to look way out to the horizon in an open, open plain to see a curve. You have to look at the phases of the moon to really see the roundness.
So, in our little section of the universe, space seems to have three dimensions. But there might be a fourth dimension.
Wanna see some pictures that represent functions in frational dimensions. Not one or two or three dimensions but one fourth of a dimension or one eigth of a dimension?
These are awesome.

EULERFAN*** you are a smart women. What did you say you were going to school for?
Hai_to***if any one needs to watch it's figure, it's me.
Gene***Come on. If she wins in Vegas, you will be greatly appreciated. ke ke ke . Nah...you dont have to get any. That's your decision :D .
****Check out our cool christmas specials. Great Bargains Guys!!!! and Great Gifts You can 't beat these prices. Come on you guys. Get your order in and I will send you a free magazine:D
euler,
thanks for the pics. i trust you slept well. now about that math. i stopped after basic cal, because my only real skill was in algebra and analysis and i didn't see that taking me anywhere i wanted to go. the point is, i stopped. now my rusty math skills are being resurrected with NO structure whatsoever as i'm trying to understand those **** pictures.
thanks a bunch. so much for today being a mindless day at work.
I stopped taking math courses after Calc II and Statistics, in order to concentrate on Comp Sci and Philosophy courses.
These days, if I need to figure out something math related, I have access to the Princeton servers, which will solve things much faster than I can. :D
rubthebuddha,
If you want to understand what is going on in those pictures, this guy explains it very well without need for too much math.

my only problem is that he doesn't include the Sierpinski triangle, another simple, clearly comprehensible fractal, but you can see one here

Have fun!
Thank you. I'm in applied mathematics. That means I have a fairly shallow understanding of lots of different feilds that require mathematics. I know some but not a lot of cool physics stuff. Some but not a lot of cool computer stuff. Some but not a lot of cool math theory.Quote:

I'd probably make a good patent attorney.:rolleyes:
From asci porn to Fractial Math...
I don't know if I even have a link for this one... :confused:
*L*
Make your own Sierpinski triangle

You guys should examine the fractal images during one of your secret meetings. They are just perfect for secret meetings.Quote:

While at a secret meeting there's no need to veiw a webpage to see fractials...

My mistake, Eulerfan. I was only teasing anyway, but chalk up my confusion to poor reading comprehension resulting from surfing at 1 am. If you're feeling merciful, that is. If you're feeling cruel, do what you will with me. I'll just consider it iron body training.
What are you still doing here CHANG?
shouldn't you be at home reading comics or something?
:p
