Nothing

[Duane Reese]

Oh but they'll keep tinkering with that thing...

Now what dire warning did I issue earlier? Ah yes...

Whoops, here it comes boys... Heads up!

[David L. Donald]

Oops, complete planet flush!

[Richard Sevigny]

Hey Duane..

..do they call that the "Sphincter Galaxy"?



Sorry, I know it's nothing to laugh at.

[David L. Donald]

Planet Flatulence?

[Richard Sevigny]

Get the dis-CERNing answer here.

[David L. Donald]

Figured as much!

[Alan Brookes]

This discussion is verging towards the infinite, and infinity is a long way from nothing unless you divide by it.

Actually, you can't do anything with infinity.

You can't have 1 + ∞ because that number would be bigger than ∞, and by definition nothing is bigger than ∞.

You can't have 2 x ∞ for the same reason.

Wow, it must be really big, in fact I'm really impressed.

√ ∞ ∆ ≤ µΩ

[Charlie McDonald]

√ ∞ ∆ ≤ µΩ

NOTHING irritates more than people using foreign languages on the forum.
DD, if you're trying to show that you can do something with infinity.... But √ ∞, that's infinity or it's nothing.
You are toying with my sensibilities....

[Ray Minich]

Somebody's kicked all of the sand out of the sandbox and now we are left with nothing...

[Charlie McDonald]

Now NOTHING is just a bunch of &#i*.

[David L. Donald]

I was trying for 'square root of infinity'.

[David L. Donald]

Nothing will (n)ever be the same without Donna!

[Alan Brookes]

I was trying for 'square root of infinity'.

Infinity has no square root, because it's not a number, it's a concept.
No matter how big a number you have, if you square it you end up with a bigger number (assuming the number is bigger than 1), but that number will always be less than infinity.
Let's face it, everything is less than infinity.

[Alan Brookes]

Nothing will (n)ever be the same without Donna!

...but what is the square root of Donna ?

Maybe, since Donna is not a square, we need a round root, or a root of indeterminate dimensions...

[David L. Donald]

Alan, yes the square root of infinity does not exist and so...
is NOTHING.
You forgot where you were for a moment me thinks.

Nothing will (n)ever be the same without Donna!

...but what is the square root of Donna ?

Tommy of course.

Maybe, since Donna is not a square, we need a round root, or a root of indeterminate dimensions...

If she's not square then she's HIP.
Hip Hip Hooray for Miss Donna
our Georgia Peach for so long.

Quoi ? Vous avez oublier que la langue Anglaise est une langue étrange pour la plupart de la monde.
Niemand zegt dat het Steel Guitar Forum is een engelse forum.
Waat zegt u ?

Cornbread is square, Pi are round..

Nothing without Beans for the cornbread and ice cream for the Pi..

[Dave Burr]

Speaking of "square"....


Excerpts from the Verlon Thompson song; "I Was A Square"

.....you see, I was a square when you were around..... I wasn't cool, I was acting a fool when you were around.....And it just isn't fair, now that I'm not a square but you're not around.

[b0b]

If I remember my math correctly, the square root of infinity is -infinity (negative infinity).

To paraphrase Loretta: "I was nothing when nothing wasn't cool."

[Richard Sevigny]

...then if you do this

(-infinity)+ (infinity)=0

Inifinity is the only number where if you add it's square root....


...you're left with nothing

[Jimmie Martin]

If i remember correctly. Oh never mind nothing comes to mind. hmmmm

[David L. Donald]

So Richard,
you are saying we are now back to square none?
In no time at all.

[Richard Sevigny]

David,

The swinging pendulum will lose momentum until it finally comes to rest. At that point it is doing nothing.

[Edward Meisse]

It's doing nothing now. Some of us just want to believe otherwise.
