I wonder what the "finite probability" of an asteroid hitting the earth and eliminating the dinosaurs so that the new life thus generated could evolve into what we see today? Anyone?
Or the "finite probability" that the cotton gin would have been invented in about the year 1820, pushing back the emancipation of the slaves?
Or the "finite probability" that Joan of Arc could have existed?

The wrong side of History? What exactly is that?

It's like going half way to something. After an infinite number of half steps, you still aren't there!
Why didn't MarvSuss just say "chance" instead of "finite probability"? But then, it wouldn't have been as much fun, would it?

Well, we all know that the square root of infinity is infinity. Has to be because the only way to reach infinity is to multiply something by infinity, therefore infinity squared equals infinity. But what happens if you multiply infinity by zero?

Well, that's the problem with Discrete Math. All those infinities. With Calculus you don't have to worry about counting them. You just differentiate and integrate, and the numbers take care of themselves!
I don't know about multiplying infinity by zero, but L'Hopital's Rule considers dividing infinity by zero, in which case if you take the derivative of the numerator and denominator...it just might be integrable.

If MervSuss had just said "chance" instead of finite probability....what a pretentious prick!

There's no problem with it if you're discreet.

Discreet infinities...Love it!

The UN climate agreement was nothing less than an attempt to gain more control over us, and make certain people rich. Just follow the money. It never lies.

"But what happens if you multiply infinity by zero?" - L the L
good one:
A really big Zero.
I wonder if Marvy can figure that one out.

I think you're right, ee. Anything multiplied by zero is zero. By definition. I think that is why you can't divide by zero, because the opposite, when you cross-multiply, is zero. Zero is the additive identity: a + 0=a, but it's use in multiplication is blurred. I once had a problem in abstract algebra (linear algebra) where we had to prove the existence of zero in certain fields and rings.
a/0=b => a=bx0=0

a/0=b => a=bx0=0
a/0=b => a=bx0=0
bx0/0 = b
Therefore; b=0
If PO's IQ+b = >0
Is that possible?

Infinitely non-possible! Infinity squared non-possible. In other words, not a chance.
