approaching zero

[AntonioLao]

Mathematical logic says that continuous linear functions of independent time variable can be contracted by using Newton’s fluxion as a product of time differences. However, for every multiplicand or multiplier there is the numerator or dividend and for every dividend there has to be a divisor. Yet in order for these final multiple derivatives to exist and to become meaningful the denominators must all be necessarily approach the values of zero as required by a mathematical theory of limits. These seem to imply that relative zeros are mathematically meaningful, but what about absolute zeros? Or that is a quantity that is exactly zero? If this quantity is that of a force then a value of zero implies the existence of equal and opposite forces. For them to be conservative they must repel each other.

Antonio,You have given me a wonderful idea,and I thank you for it.
Approaching zero could be seen as one who has become enlightened!Almost
like the binary idea of,off,or on,or 1and zero,as the individual approaches the
state of Samadhi,as I have posted on another thread,the one being I is
transformed,transfigured,and translated,and would if the process were to
remain focussed,result in the individual being no more,and would loose the
atomic cohesion that "held" him in place,thereby resulting in the one
becoming zero!!!What do you think Antonio?

kind regards michael.

Michael, would this be absolute zero?

I have differentiation this year I think you are speaking of the change in the independent variable tending to zero. But however I want to ask whether time could be zero we took time=0 to find initial velocity and things like that. But I really could not think of time as 0.

And what does the first sentence mean(ie. what is newton's fluxion)?

Michael, would this be absolute zero?

Yes it would,but it would not be in the Kelvin degree?


kind regards michael.

thereby resulting in the one becoming zero!!!

I was thinking about the property of mass being zero like the photon's rest mass even though it has kinetic energy.

what is newton's fluxion

Definition of a derivative (Newtonian differential calculus vs. Leibniz's integral calculus) with respect to time.
