Here I am skipping along through the thread to catch up on what I missed and WHAM!

that and the fact that if you accelerate at one earth gravity for one earth year you would (if it was possible) reach the speed of light make me think this universe is manufactured.

Jeez, I never heard of that one. I need to verify that one on the back of an envelope.

Moon being same apparent size as Sun also suspicious.

Yeah, that seems mighty coincidental as well!

9.8m/sec^2 times 365.25 will get close to 186,000 mps-since earth year always gets longer it was actually perfectly equal few thousand years ago-cant remember exact date.

I stumbled on it by accident just wondering how fast you would be going if you accelerated at 1 earth G for one earth year and I was like WTH

Man, you losers ruined this thread.

Yields one of the most beautiful results in mathematics:  e^(i*pi) +1 = 0

How can whole numbers like unity and zero mix so wondrously with transcendential, trigonometric and complex numbers?? 

Here is a question you might like:

In the proof, why is it ok to rearrange the terms of the Taylor series for e^x?

You could still say "Pls cancel my order" or even "Thx but I already got elsewhere"
You'll have to do better than that I'm afraid.
We'll need a proof we can sink our teeth into.
Where's the beef.

This doesn't make sense.

If I say I am looking to buy.  I am looking to buy.  

Besides you are trying to evade Greggy by nitpicking my buying desires.  

Greggy is gonna own you.

I know you are looking for an answer beyond the commutative and distributive properties - yes? The actual mechanics of rearranging of terms?

I just saw you pointing out that famous relation so I thought you might like the question.  It has to do with the terms of an infinite series not necessarily being commutative, which is some mind blowing stuff.  I never knew it until I had to teach a Cal II class.  The series for e^x converges absolutely, so the terms can be arranged without effecting the sum.  More can be found here if you are interested:  Riemann series theorem - Wikipedia

(I'll stop derailing the thread now.)

Plus the fact that some infinities are larger than others.

Oh gawd, how brilliant was Riemann? I will check it out! 

After all, we have to embrace rigor in our threads.

I can see greggy doing that.

I didn’t know I wanted this book until I saw the cover in the marketplace. I thought it was a stunning depiction of a soldier at war and I had to have it. Thanks @kazoo
