Lucy (question about infinity)

[dextersmith]

Light from the surface of the Sun would take 8 minutes (and 20 seconds) to reach Earth. Light "particles" don't have any mass, but they do have momentum. Traveling at the speed of light automatically implies having no mass, and having no mass immediately implies traveling at the speed of light.

Hmm......How does a black hole's gravity work on something massless?

By bending space-time.

Well, no.

She went to all that trouble at the end to become God. The thumb drive was her final gift to humanity as she passed into Godhood.

Still stupid. That she put it all on a thumb drive. Also the Chinese guy comes in the room and sees her doing all this crap and his first idea is to shoot her instead of seeing what she's doing. I really had high hopes for this movie. I was disappointed.

The movie was stupid. She went to all that trouble at the end to turn herself into that super computer just to put all of her knowledge on a thumb drive.

So the thumb drive had infinite capacity?

Well, no.

So the movie implies humans use 1/10 of God's mental capacity?....and 1/10 of infinity is finite?

I'm not defending the film. I think it was shallow, while it thought itself to be deep. I was just giving it due credit for its actual message, however silly that might have been. It wasn't just "lol I'm a thumb drive".

It was that stupid.

More like 10/10 mental capacity = 1/10 of Gods mental capacity

Our brain isnt that wastefull with resources.

Well, if you go by the move, even the extra 1% is a really big deal. Basically like comparing the average joe to someone like Einstein or Hawkings.

Dont go by that movie it makes no sense

A quick simple doodle for anyone who doesn't get the whole spacetime thing.



The red object is stationary, the blue object is traveling at c, and I guess the green one is going at 0.5c. Since relativity is, you know, a thing, whichever frame of reference you choose will always be the red object, which is moving only in space and not in time, as its path (worldline) on the graph shows. Now choose an arbitrary length of time t in our frame of reference (red) and compare with worldlines of equal length of the other two objects. You can see that at time t, the green object moving at 0.5c has moved less along the time axis ("experienced less time") than the red object, and the blue object moving at c hasn't even moved along the time axis at all--it can't! What if we decide we want to use the green object as our frame of reference? Well, now the red object is moving away at half c, and the blue object is still moving at c, because massless objects always move at c in any reference frame... this is the gist of relativity. This is all really basic and facile and I'm not going to overstep my layman boundaries, and I've spent way too long on this post. I'm no expert, just a common dummy, but I hope I explained this decently enough for some people to get the general (lolol see what i did there) idea.

if anybody knows it would be Endus. what was on the thumb drive?

Pictures of cats.

Infinity is a number. It is every number. It is an incalculable and irrational number.

If you want to take Star Trek physics into this, Warp 10, which could be defined as infinite speed, is being every where in the universe simultaneously.

That being said, until humans are able to travel faster than the speed of light, none of this will have any actual bearing in reality.

Tons of porn!

If I had to take a stab at it, mathematical equations that explain everything.

[Puremallace]

I just liked that she could speed and reverse time like a dvd player. Other stuff I thought was cool the evolution of sight and ability too see carrier waves into cell phones.
