chew on this for a while.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach's_conjecture

And don't prove the weak conjecture.

That's for pansies.

I'll check in later and see what the results are.

Holy crap.

And people think me and my ions are boring.

Ok - just because I'm a nice guy - here's an easy one.

In the Fletcher's Paradox, the Greek philosopher Zeno (who was the
inspiration for the Socratic Method) stated that for motion to be
occurring, an object must change the position which it occupies.

In keeping with the name of the paradox, let's use an arrow as the
example. *For motion to occur, the arrow must move to where it is not.

occurring, an object must change the position which it occupies.

In keeping with the name of the paradox, let's use an arrow as the
example. For motion to occur, the arrow must move to where it is not.
Thus there are two states - where it is and where it is not.

If we think of time as points (or instants) the arrow cannot move to
where it is not and it cannot move to where it is because it is
already there. Thus, motion cannot occur at any point (or instant) of
time - everything should remain motionless.

Solve that one - it's actually easy.

I can clarify it (or muddy it) with another "puzzle", the old
spaceship and flashlight one.

A spaceship is traveling away from the Earth at the speed of light.
At the exact moment that it is one light-year away from Earth, someone
opens up the back door and turns on a flashlight pointed back towards
earth.

Does that light ever reach Earth, or since it is eminating light at
the same speed backwards as it it moving forward, is the light
"frozen" in space? *Bonus question: If it reaches Earth, how long does
it take?

One.

(lightyear)

give or take.

Um, I don't want to tie up braincells with you guys, but isn't a
lightyear a measure of distance? I think Tom was asking for a time frame???

A lightyear *is* a measure of distance... it is the distance a beam of
light can travel in a vacume at appox, 186,282 mps... Check it out
here..

Don't feel bad, even the resident space man screwed this one up;)

Can't happen. As you approach C the mass increases, becoming infinite
at the speed of light. See any good explanation of Special Relativity
for non physics majors. Einstein wrote one, maybe he needed the dough.

How come, although Einstein was a good writer, no English majors seem
to have ever understood special relativity? Or even Newton. I remember
reading in the Denver paper that 4wd vehicles are twice as likely to
end up in the ditch as 2wd machines. Seems English majors, and many
others, think 4wd makes them immune to the laws of Physics they never
studied.

All wheel drive has legitimate uses: hauling a boat up a steep and
slippery launching ramp is one, snow plowing is another. English
majors think it is for making better time on ice and snow. Four wheel
drive is for not shoveling the driveway and still making it to the
plowed street.

I heard it was Republicans who didn't believe in science, not English
majors. Or maybe it was the Republicans who denied science, as with
Sarah Palin believing that "The Flintstones" was based upon "actual real
history, when men and dinosaurs walked the earth together shortly after
creation 6000 years ago," or whatever bullschitt like that she believes.

Creationism=Cretinism

Yup.. When I get out on bad roads I stay in 2 wheel until I need it..
Basically, my theory is 4x4 is for getting out of the ditch, not getting
in;) I always laugh at these idiots who think just because the 4x4 can
get them going faster, it can also stop them faster...

Four wheel drive provides better control on snowy, slippery roads.

Perhaps if the roads are that slippery and bad you should stay home and
let the professionals and emergency personel do their work.. Last week
when I was on my way to the ER there were hundreds of passenger cars
sliding and crashing in the 6 inches of snow on most roads, even the
main ones. A 10 minute trip took almost 25 as I watch the idiots out
risking their lives and the lives of their families as they would not
take a day off from shopping...

I have a 4WD vehicle. It works quite well in the snowfall we have here.

Four wheel drive often gives a false sense of security on snowy,
slippery roads. Once you lose traction and start sliding four wheel
drive isn't going to stop your from crashing into another vehicle, a
bridge abutment, guardrail, tree, or other object.

I guarantee I have owned and driven more 4x4's than you and at least
1/4 of those miles are off road... I have been either on 2 wheels, or
4x4 since I was a young kid. Started driving my dad's truck when I was
12.. I can barely remember the last "car" I owned. I drove trucks
professioanlly and was a teamster.. You like most others who have a
4x4 only get off road if you drive over Karens roses backing out of
her driveway;) We are a 4x4 family, we actualy leave the house and go
to undeveloped areas to play.. I won't even address you further on
this, you may have been lucky down south there, but you know squat
about 4x4... My wife knows more about 4 wheelin' than you do and can
handle the thing in the woods too...
