Back to infinity. Has anyone ever actually multiplied infinity by infinity, or is it the same stigma as dividing by zero?

Infinity multiplied by infinity is infinity, I imagine, in the same way that zero multiplied by zero is zero.
Since infinity is already infinite, multiplying it an infinite number of times just means we have “infinity infinites” which doesn’t make sense, since that implies there is a ‘larger’ sum than infinity. So we just end up with infinity.
I didn’t put much time into thinking about this, just makes sense to me.

Someone should merge this with the Lounge and Pony thread. I’m pretty sure GD would begin a civil war and implode on itself.
wish people realised that language and our numbering system is flawed, calculating via a flawed system is just masturbating
so is this now a race to see who can be the most profound whilst applying the least effort/substance.
re-read what i wrote about proving things. take a logic class if you still don’t get it. people have already explained this to you but you are going “LALALALALALALALALA”
just wanna point out that “disapproving” of something is not the same thing as disproving it. anyway its not my fault you can’t understand basic logic. fix your typo.
most scientists like einstein are deists. they don’t believe in a personal god because that’s naive, illogical and stupid.
you cannot prove that it is a bullshit made up story. just like you cannot prove with 100% certainty that your religion isn’t a bullshit made up story (hint, it is though).
so many things wrong with this statement i dont even know where to begin.
- there are tons of christians who are still young earth creationists, that’s why they’re trying to pass intelligent design laws and teach creationism in schools. STILL. it makes sense. if bible isn’t inerrant and its mostly mythology, then it cannot be a trusted document.
- the reason no christian TODAY believes in 8000 year old earth is because science showed that it is false. however, christians back in the day all believed in it. that’s why apostle paul refers to adam and eve. so does jesus. hell, even jesus’ genealogy refers to adam and eve. now why would these people refer to adam and eve in the new testemant if they knew it was metaphorical? was jesus’ genealogy metaphorical? there’s nothing to indicate they thought adam and eve were imaginary. if adam and eve existed, then earth is 8000 years old. and that’s why christians in the middle ages believed earth was 8000 years old as well. there was nothing to indicate that the authors of the OT thought what they were writing were made up mythology instead of actual fact.
Well you at least have the lack of effort covered.
Then any kind of rationalisation or discussion is futile.
substance? illusion more like
“conspiracy theorists” are angry because of the oppression
true conspiricy theorists are angry because of the intellectual illusions
I’m active critic of religion, but I can see how it helped our human understanding for some time.
It was our first attempt at philosophy, medicine, or even healthcare to a certain extent, but because it was our first try, it was also our worse.
That’s why we need to let go already, but that conversation is for another occasion.
Back on topic.
I feel that Greek Mythology has simply taken the course that every single religion will take. It is now the foundation for a lot of fiction works that are made with the intention of simply transmitting the understanding of an emotion. Just like goodm0urning posted a couple of pages back. We know have plenty of things that can do the work such as TV shows, and video games.
I’m pretty that there will be a time when Christian mythology will be used in the same way, and we’ll have a God of War game where Kratos now wants to kill Yahve.

Can you please not play this game?
Atheist are NOT making any claims. Atheism is a term without content.
Actually, to quote Sam Harris, we shouldn’t even call ourselves atheist, because think about this. How do you call someone who isn’t a racist?
Do you call him a non-racist? no, he simply isn’t a racist at all. There isn’t a term to define non-racist, because non-racism is simply a natural position.
I’m not an atheist, just a rational person, that is all.
Can you really look at a rational person with straight face, and tell them that we know for a fact that there’s an invisible being who watches everything they do every minute of every day, and that being wants them to behave in a specific way so they can earn an eternal life after death?
The point is that religion as a whole wants me to live my life based on this belief, even though the best you can argue is the possibility of some sort of being.
That’s why I reject religion, and that’s all atheism is.
A person can be an Atheist and still be a deist. Religion just loves to work under the assumption that the possibility of there being a primer mover, automatically comes with the personally involved package.
With all due respect
Do you really can’t appreciate the fact that this is irrational and delusional?
What would that numbering system be? The improved one, I mean

Poignant answer.
Yeah, back to the OP. Can’t believe so many ppl here know nothing about history. The reason why Greek mythology is extinct as a religion is because the culture that “believed”/had faith on it was conquered and indoctrinated (by christianism). First the Etruscans who took over Greek civilization to become the Roman Empire. They took over Greek myths as well changing it into “Roman” myth/religion/whatever. Then I hope you at least know what happened to Romans. The OP question is as ignorant as saying: “Why don’t we see Mayan/Nordic (nordic mythology is pretty cool imo) religion nowadays?” All of the oriental religions have stayed kinda the same because there wasn’t a super invasion in those countries. Ok, maybe if the brits had taken priests with them when they went to India maaaybe something like Spanish Conquer in America would have happened. But they didn’t and even with all the english influence in India, their religion is still almost intact (they do have a lot of them actually, my friend told me that even each town/city has their own gods and beliefs).
So there, you can all go back to your mediocre discussions.
PS Anyone that has opened an Astronomy book knows that the universe is infinite but limited. Is like a basketball where is infinite in the way that you never find any boundaries but it is limited in the sense that it has a finite volume. Well, you could argue that since the space is expanding, that volume is increasing, but you get my point.
explain infinite but limited, that basket ball explanation was terrible
not my fault if you don’t get it. Go read a book.
I just wanted to highlight the fact that your statement was a convoluted regurgitated pile of shit used to sound like you know what your talking about
na the bball analogy is good
He’s saying it’s infinite in the same sense that you can travel infinitely in any direction on the surface of a sphere and never get to “the end”, yet “limited” (i.e. bounded) in the sense that a sphere still has a finite surface area. It was his fault that you didn’t understand it because he did a poor job of explaining it.
