My name is 640509-040147, the last two digits of which is often used by people to call me - 47. I am a result of a creepy experiment of Dr. Ort Meyer who produced about 40 clones just like me. But none of them survived because of some epidemic of one kind or another among them caused by the side effect of his experiment. I have been trained in every type of combat skill for every situation (Mainly Ninjutsu and Krav Maga) - from EMPTY HAND to machine guns like TMP, MP5 and even W2000 sniper rifle. My favourite martial art is Ninjutsu. I work for an intelligence agency <<Name Concealed>> as an undercover agent. My favourite and signature handgun is AMT Hardballer because it is able to fire four different types of rounds. In most of my operations, I prefer keeping a garrotte or a knife with me for my protection. I very less often shoot.

  • What kind of logical fallacy is this? What is it called?

    Person A: Your society is an antichrist society because you do not worship Jesus.

    Person B: So you mean we should worship Jesus and not his father. But that is not true.

    Now here you can see that the last part of Person B's statement (i.e. after the conjunction) is added by him from out of nowhere. Person A never said that someone should not worship Jesus' father. There is also no established conclusion between the two people that only ONE of the two deities should be worshiped.

    So what logical fallacy is B showing up? What is it called?

  • Does Group Theory tell the intrinsic nature of our universe?

    According to Group theory, a finite set of elements is a group (under certain operation) if closure law holds in it.

    Now please let me give you two examples to elaborate my point.

    Consider a finite set A = {2, 3, 4} under multiplication.

    This set is not a group because closure law does not hold. So if I multiply any two elements of the set, I will basically create an element NOT in this set.

    E.g. 4 × 2 = 8 ∉ A

    That is, Out of what I have with me, I can "CREATE" things which I don't have with me.

    Now consider another set B = {1, ω, ω^2} under multiplication.

    This set is a group because closure law holds. If I multiply any two elements of this set, I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CREATE ANY NEW THING.

    E.g.

    ω × ω^2 = 1 ∈ B

    1 × ω = ω ∈ B

    1 × ω^2 = ω^2 ∈ B

    So whatever multiplication I do within this set, I will never be able to create any new element out of what I have with me.

    Our universe is pretty much the same.

    Assuming that there isn't an infinite mass or an infinite energy existing in the vicinity of space, we CAN NEVER create any new mass or any new energy out of what we already have with us. (E = mc^2 scenario is no exception either)

    Now because our universe is finite in matter and energy just like any finite mathematical set, we cannot create any new matter/energy, no matter what mechanism of heat transfer we build.

    Therefore, can we (in some philosophically abstract way) call our finite universe (if it is finite) A GROUP under the operation of "Mass-Energy Transfer"???

    If yes, then I believe there must be some other operation which we can apply to the elements of this universe which would yield NEW energy/matter 'all in all'; just like in the set {1, ω, ω^2}, addition operation can create new elements.

    If however, you are able to prove by some other way (i.e. inverse/identity) that our universe cannot be called a "Group" under this operation of "Mass-Energy Transfer", then we are sure that our universe has to be INFINITE in that case.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK???

  • Quantum Mechanics and Relativity. What is your idea about this?

    In quantum mechanics' interpretation of world, a particle's knowable variables has infinite values before it is observed. But when an observer observes the particle, all it's variables collapse to a single set of variables. The reason we know it had infinitely many set of values before measurement is because if we observe same particle in same conditions but in different moment of time, we observe a different set of values.

    If I am right up till here, let me proceed further.

    Now it is very much discussed that the above fact put forward by QM ends the free-will debate because the future of a particle could adopt one out of infinitely many possibilities. This means, my future is in my hand and in a sense, I for myself can choose one possibility out of infinite of them existing in my future. i.e. after 10 years from now, it is absolutely NOT certain where I will be standing on this planet. And unless those 10 years pass away, I can not know it.

    So think about it. Today, there are infinite possibilities of positions where I can be 10 years later in future. Out of all those infinite possibilities, I actually adopt one, after the passage of given 10 years - very much like an electron in quantum mechanical universe. In other words, today, I have not observed my future so I don't know what future has for me and so there are infinite possibilities. But when time passes by, I observe only one set of events.

    Now in Einstein's relativity, through time-dilation, I can kind of skip my present and go into future. In order to dilate my time, I need to perform certain experiment on myself like orbiting reasonably close to a black hole etc. This experiment will drop me in future, let's say in 2023 and let's say when I land in future, I find that my family has moved to Japan and so I had to go to Japan cuz this country (in 2013) is no more for me. But from the perspective of 2013, I could be anywhere on this earth in the year 2013. However, when I performed the time-dilation experiment, I found myself compulsorily in Japan. Now why did I find myself only in Japan and not in Turkey despite the fact that I could be there with an equal probability?

    This is because the relativistic experiment of time-dilation collapsed my wave function to one outcome - Japan. So we can say that Special Theory of Relativity is actually describing method of acts of observation of time-line associated with a particle. This time-line is equivalent to the wave function associated with particle and which also collapses (choosing one among infinite possible outcomes) when we try to observe it using relativistic effects.

    Therefore, this is why we can study relativity using quantum mechanical approach. And if whatever I have said till now is true, then it is very possible that the outcome of time-dilation experiment will change depending on WHEN I did it. That is, if I did the time-dilation experiment in 2013, I found myself in Japan in 2023. But let's say if I did the experiment an year later, I would have found that the events have so taken place that my family moved to Madagascar or moved nowhere at all. This is very similar to observing an electron in one moment in time and in another thus giving two different results. So time-dilation as described by relativity is just a way of choosing one of the infinite possible time-lines associated with me.

    Can this thought be the beginning when quantum mechanics meets relativity? WHAT DO YOU THINK?

  • HORSEPOWER and TORQUE. I need help.?

    I read on internet that the relation between Horsepower and Torque is:

    HP = (Torque × RPM) ÷ 5252

    When I'm trying to derive, I'm getting 5252 in the numerator. I don't understand how this number comes in denominator. This is what I'm getting:

    1HP = 5252 × Torque × RPM

    I don't understand where am I going wrong. Please help me.

  • Please help me understand definition of convergent sequences?

    Now, everywhere in textbooks, I read that a convergent sequence is defined as:

    A series <a(n)> is said to be convergent to a number L if given ϵ>0, there exists a positive integer m depending on ϵ such that |a(n) - L| < ϵ for all n>m.

    Now, I've been fcuking my head around this ϵ and m and still I can't work out what do these have to do here. I mean that in case of functions, convergence is defined as

    lim x→∞ f(x) = L which implies that

    lim x→∞ f(x) - L = 0

    In this case of functions, the difference is plainly zero. BUT in case of sequences, it is less than that ϵ. Why is it so? Why can't it be simply |a(n) - L| = 0? And what is this 'm' has to do here?

    PLEASE HELP!

  • Do you think Alex Jones is also a globalist elites' puppet (Please read the question)?

    I listen often to Alex Jones. But there are three things that catch my attention to think on the possibility that maybe he also works for globalist elites. Following are the three reasons:

    1. How did he get into the Bohemian Club with camera??? I mean, that place is so secretive just like a Masonic lodge and he says he just "walked in"??? The story isn't quite fitting.

    2. His sources from where he gets precise information about next Bilderberg meetings. I don't know if it is my ignorance but I never have seen him revealing his source from where he comes to know exactly where/when the next Bilderberg meeting is going to happen.

    3. Every conspiracy theorist knows (at least has credulity) that both parties belong to same 'behind the scenes' masters. Whereas Alex Jones so much praises Ron Paul. Being a conspiracy theorist, he should remain NEUTRAL and diplomat to any presidential candidate.

    P.S.:--- By point no. 3, I don't mean to offend any Ron Paul fan. I respect if you think Ron Paul is a good guy and holds a little hope. Secondly, I welcome and respect all your answers (with any tone and expression) whether in favor of Alex Jones or against him. But what I don't welcome and respect is you saying "Bilderbergs don't exist" or "Freemasons don't exist". Even if you think the illuminati doesn't exist, don't say Bilderbergs or Freemasons don't exist.

    So, what are your thoughts???

  • Is it possible to amplify current by the following way?

    I have a dehydrator project in which I'll use solar energy to amplify food and I'll amplify current at the end because I know solar cell doesn't give off much current presently. So here is the method.

    V=IR... where I= current ; R= resistance and V= voltage

    so from here we can say that V is directly proportional to I ... increase the voltage and current (I) will be increased....... even if you will add a resistance in a parallel series the current will be increased because adding a resistance in parallel decreases the total resistance coz

    R = 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3....

    So is it possible?

  • If our universe is expanding in space, is it also expanding in time?

    According to Einstein's notion of space-time, space and time are just one entity. So if we observe our universe expanding in space; infact if the space itself is expanding, then why is it not expanding in time?

    And if really IS expanding in time, what effect can we see in our lives because of it?

    2. Creationist: "How do you know?"

    3. Dawkins: "We have evidence for it."

    4. Creationist: "Do we have evidence for origin of life?"

    5. Dawkins: "NO"

    6. Creationist: "Do we have evidence for any constructive gene mutation?"

    7. Dawkins: "NO"

    8. Creationist: "Do we have evidence for Lamarck's theory?"

    9. Dawkins: "NO"

    10. Creationist: "So where is the evidence?"

    11. Dawkins: "Scientists are working on it."

    12. Creationist: "How about working to find evidence for creation?"

    13. Dawkins: "No because... (Go to step 1)"

    HAHAHAHA!

    You atheists are all fools! Your messiah (Richard Dawkins) loved playing in merry-go-rounds when he was kid???

    P.S. By "constructive mutation", I mean any mutation that happens to improve an organism as proposed by theory of evolution.

    And I know it very well that evolution is about "origin of species" and not "origin of life". It is abiogenesis.

  • Jehovah's Witnesses, how good you are in following Christ?

    These are the some of the teachings of Christ and how well (obviously not perfect but still genuinely well) Jehovah's witnesses follow these teachings:

    1. "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you" - Matthew 5:44

    "The established churches are CORRUPT, WORLDLY, and devoid of divine authority"

    *** w99 4/15 p. 25 The Collegiants—Bible Study Made Them Different ***

    "There are many persons in Christendom who firmly believe they are spiritually alive because they regularly read the Bible and attend church. But where is the activity that should be evidence of their aliveness? In what way are they using the knowledge they gain from Bible reading? Can sitting in a church once a week be considered as Christian activity?"

    *** w59 1/1 p. 3 Are You Spiritually Alive? ***

    "They [the clergy] have in fact represented the Devil, because it [the Church] is the Devil's organization." (J.F. Rutherford, Life, 1929, p. 292).

    2. "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you" - Matt. 7

    "The clergy of Christendom have falsely assumed the name Christian. Therefore THEY ARE GUILTY of impersonating the first witness of Jehovah, the Lord Christ Jesus, in violation of the law of Almighty God."

    *** w50 5/15 p. 149 par. 16 Living Up to the Name ***

    "Ever since Christendom was founded in the days of Constantine the Great, Pontifex Maximus of the Roman Empire, the Catholic clergy and, later, the Protestant clergy HAVE BEEN GUILTY of spiritual adultery. How so? In being friends of this world and taking part in its politics and military ventures."

    *** w79 9/1 p. 27 par. 18 The Royal “Shepherd” of Bible Prophecy ***

    3. “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick... For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” - Matt.9:12-13.

    Over the years, offenders disfellowshipped from the worldwide Christian congregation, mostly on grounds of sexual immorality, have numbered into the tens of thousands. In some years there have been even more than fell in ancient Israel because of the Baal of Peor. May we keep up our guard so that WE NEVER FALL INTO THAT COMPANY!

    *** re chap. 9 p. 44 par. 11 Holding Fast to Jesus’ Name ***

    4. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

    Jehovah's Witnesses pray only for their own brothers and sisters when some major natural disaster occurs in the world. What's wrong with praying for everyone who is victim of the disaster?
