Why?

>>7120966
When I made the meme, I was perfectly aware thay it's a legitimate question

There is no physical law that explains why bicycles stay up when they are moved forward

I think that's pretty sick. Makes you think about what other simple shit we know nothing about.

>>7120977
assume there were no disturbances and the bicycle was sustaining its motion perfectly upright
it would go on going upright
lets say it leaned 1 degree to one side:
when the bike leans to one side, it will start making a circular motion towards that side, so it will have centripetal acceleration and the top of the bike would experience centrifugal force balancing it back to its upright position
so there is a behind the scenes feedback
i just made this up

Not sure if "dirt" is really the right word, but say the value of your currency deflates. The dollar gained value relative to the price of goods; your dollar buys more. People who use the currency will hold onto the currency and not spend it because they expect the value of the dollar to increase, aka, get more stuff in the future. This would cause a spending shock and total output would fall. We want people to use their currency as a medium of exchange and a relative store of value, not an investment.

/v/ here. Videogames solve the omnipotence paradox. In them, objects and their properties are nothing more than bits of data (player health, weapon damage) and object interactions with can be turned on and off at will (noclip, godmode, physics props), making an object that is both possible and impossible to move is quite trivial.

If humans can accomplish this task without being all-powerful, then a much more powerful God certainly can too.

"I was a math major at Yale, a math grad student at MIT. I've written about the Monty Hall problem on Usenet before most people knew what the internet was. I placed in the top 10 nationally on the Putnam Exam in the US.
This is not the Monty Hall problem in disguise. This question misses a key component of the Monty Hall problem - namely, that Monty has to open a door with a goat. Here, Bob simply picked randomly, and happened to pick poison. Half the time that you have picked a poison bush are eliminated from consideration. That reduces the problem to a 50-50 question."

You misunderstood the importance of videogames in resolving this paradox.

See, when you are able to operate both inside a simulated world and outside it, the paradox loses all of its impact. With a computer, a human being can easily create an object which cannot be moved in the game but can also still be moved around in the game's editor or with a cheat code, a miracle. In fact, computers in general show us how plain the miracles of a god really are. Even something as amazing as producing a bottomless pit of bread and fish can be boiled down to cut and paste.

Basically we're all in a giant videogame.

>>7130344
but if it can be moved in the game editor, the object is not truly immovable
i do not misunderstand the videogame thingy thing
you misunderstand the paradox

if god were to create an object no one could move including himself (assuming that he could), there wouldn't be any loophole, there wouldn't be any catch. That object would be immovable for all eternity, irreversibly. God is not supposed to create such an object in a subuniverse which he has numerous ways of controlling, he would need to create this object on the level of his own existance, god and the object would be equivalent. And once created, god would not be able to go one level above and simply remove the object completely from the superuniverse.

>God is not supposed to create such an object in a subuniverse which he has numerous ways of controlling, he would need to create this object on the level of his own existance, god and the object would be equivalent.

If the christian God exists, meaning he is the creator of the universe and can perform "miracles", then it is possible that we are in this sort of subuniverse relative to him in the similar way one could claim that videogames are a subuniverse relative to us.

Yes, you are correct that what I've stated only moves the question one step back, and the paradox of absolute omnipotence still holds. But that one step back destroys all of the paradox's value and impact in context to whom it's addressed. This paradox is specifically brought up against religious people who claim they believe in an all-powerful god. Before, the statement would be "God can't be all-powerful in our universe!" which directly contradicts their holy book. Now, it's "God may be all-powerful in our universe, but he can't be all-powerful in his!" This distinction is huge.

I remember an interview with Penn&Teller where they asked if Teller was actually mute or if he was only acting mute. Penn answered something like "What's the difference? They're effectively the same thing.". If God is all-powerful in our universe, then he's effectively all-powerful for all intents and purposes if people interact with him.

Is this true. If so, that is hilarious:
>post 600BC
>people think religious people can be reasoned with
i have no interest in the christian god. my point is not even if god can *create* an immovable object. my point is that the concepts of "immovable object" and "omnipotent being" are mutually exclusive.

an object is either immovable or not
a being is either omnipotent or not

can the omnipotent being *somehow* move the immovable object? => it was not immovable to begin with.
omnipotent and immovable are very simple concepts.
there is no justifiable reasoning which can result in an immovable object being moved.

>>7130503
Out of curiousity, what would a truly immovable object be like?

>That object would be immovable for all eternity, irreversibly.

Would this imply not only immovable forever in the future, but also forever in the past? So when the universe collapses or expands, it just wouldn't care.

>>7130540
Also in what frame of reference is the object immovable?

Imagine if the frame of reference was anything other than the earth. Things would get bad fast.

someone has the shinichi mochizooka, yokozuna of maths picture?

>>7130582
Well, maybe the object is somehow massless. That would prevent it from interfering with other celestial objects and explain why it can't be moved with force.

>>7130540

Yeah but just 1-2 years for a math PhD and you've already got $300k/year starting

Spanish has too many rules, but they're a hell of a lot more consistent than ours are.

Literal autism. No wonder you can't get a girlfriend. Not that it's that important. I don't really worry about it that much, and I think that's part of why I never have a problem getting a girlfriend.

Nothing wrong with that. A wise man once told me, "Never get married. Just get hookers. It'll be cheaper in the long run, I promise."

My wife makes more money than me. umad?

>>7131683
it is an very interesting for me, not being virgin
i just cant wrap my head around how anybody has sex

>>7131683
Not at all. I do just fine with women and mostly date women in STEM fields. Women who don't have ambition or prospects are unattractive to me, so there's a good chance I'll end up marrying someone who earns at least as much as I do.

Also, 2008 called. They want their stupid meme back.

A riderless bike moving forward leans to one side. It starts turning in the direction it was leaning. The inertia from it's previous course pushes against the way it was leaning, forcing it upright. This keeps going until it slows down too much to correct itself. Then it falls down.

Humans riding bikes is completely different, they use their innate balancing skill to stay upright.

This gyroscope bullshit needs to die, gyroscopes aren't magic, they only work on the axis PERPENDICULAR to the one they're spinning on. You can move a gyro top all over, but you can't tip it vertically without increased force.

Oh boy, you don't actually think the sum of the series is -1/12 do you?
It's the intercept on the graph, not the fucking summation.

TIL: Some people will believe anything on youtube as long as a science man tells you it's true

>>7132618
they are professors and they provided proof

>>7132622
The proof that assumes the infinite sum of 1 -1 + 1 - 1 + 1.......... is = 0.5?
A series where at any point the answer can only be 0 or 1, and yet the sum is 0.5

Do you understand what statistical analysis is, and why it does not make sense when dealing with infinity?
I don't just mean a sum to infinity, I mean the fucking terms themselves approach infinity.

Just because someone says something is true, doesn't mean it is anon.

>>7132652
>1 -1 + 1 - 1 + 1.......... is = 0.5?
The answer, as you said, can only be 0 or 1. But it continues for infinity, so it is neither. Therefore it is fair to assume the mean of the period as the "answer" or RHS of the "=".

Infinity can not be defined outside abstract thought (that is, incomplete proof-less thought - conceptual thinking.)
e.g. saying infinity is the biggest number is wrong, since there can always be a bigger number than the biggest; but it is right, since the biggest number is a title that is given to the number after itself as well.

With this is mind, it is fair to assume (keyword : assume) logical conclusions in order to find answers to questions that can not be answered at all.
In my opinion.

And using the "= 0.5" is therefore fair and legitimate, until proven wrong. (GL with that.)

>Just because someone says something is true, doesn't mean it is anon.
That is very ironic.

The value of -1/12 is certainly important, but it is not the "sum" of the series.
If you're just going to redefine the meaning of words and have a tantrum when people object, you're no better than a liberal arts major.

>>7132702
>the "sum"
I said that there is no sum. But -1/12 is a fair assumed idea of it.

> tantrum when people object
I assure you that I am calm and not at all angry with you.

>Please educate yourself with the following:
The following links you presented were very pointless. Summarize what you want me to know if you think I didn't read hard enough.

> redefine the meaning of words
Forgive me if I used words wrongly. English is not my mother-tongue.
I pray my opinions came forth as what they were, opinions; which is all we can have about concepts such as infinity :)
