Hello World! - 01-09-2008, 02:06 PM

Hello,

I am Jon. I am obsessed with math, formal systems, and the idea that mathematical truth is embedded in physical existence (very Platonic huh?).

Bye.

Hi Jon, welcome to the forums. I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I'm not sure that I agree with your thoughts, though. To me, mathematics is simply a language with which to describe the physical world.

Probably not all. It's something I'm still struggling with. Of course, by math, I also mean logic, etc. Godel also happened to prove that ANY formal system (i.e. math) cannot fully encompass reality. Sort of.

I do have to disagree with neutralino though. It's not just a language. There is something a little more pithy about it.

I think that the infinities of zpe would come closest, and as Dirac might say, "renormalization is mathematically incorrect."

If "c" is not finite, but absolute, then E = mc, without squaring it, would represent the equivalence of "all" of the universal energy at any given point of the universe. In other words, the whole universe is contained within any one point, or rather the "zero point."

0/0, or G = mc, would indicate an infinite number of infinitesimal/absolute point masses with infinite/absolute energy.

Hey real, thanks for being here (and there).

zpe is 'zero point energy'.

Give it a Google.

Thanks, are you being sarcastic when you say thanks for being here (or there)?

On the contrary, Sir.
