Sometimes I like to surf the tennis net...

You know your a geek when you write a program to print out the internet.

How do you come up with this stuff? 70% by volume? by mass?

I remember seeing on a documentary about the race to see what makes up the missing proportion of the universe and turned out the missing 70% of our universe was energy. That makes the other 30% other elements such as solids, liquids etc. Although it goes into greater detail that is the basic concept and how it relates to this - well we were talking about that 30% of our universe and not the other 70% which is made of energy.

An atom/particle/electron is an example of what?

The one element that makes up the 30% of the universe. There is one element for all and what it is I don't know but I am guessing electrons.

Again : You cannot ever draw a perfect circle using a software
because they are all made up by pixels, and Pixels are rectangles.

Also realize that there might never be a perfect circle.

But if you print it out with a huge dpi (dots per inch) then it is a perfect circle. This is because the ink is 3d.

Well electrons are charges of electricity aren't they? So wouldn't there be another substance which would make up everything around us. Now that I think about it, it would be electrons that make up 70% of the universe but not the other 30% we are talking about. Although I have limited knowledge in this area I do know a few basic things. And an atom was an example. I could have just as easily said a particle. But you get the general idea.

This is maths, you dont talk about atoms, thats in science. You are trying to mix the two where they should not be mixed. No matter how darn small a circle is it never made up by a countable number of points. Ever. This is maths... If you actually read my last link you would have learnt something.

Maybe you should take up a physics degree... One of the basics is there is a thing called a periodic table and you have just denied that be denying the science of atoms. Another thing. To understand maths we need to understand science. Maths and science are directly related and when combined can be called Physics. Obviously you and many others don't understand the science behind making a circle so that is why we are stuck with pi. I wonder how many people in this world agree with me about that previous sentence because I'm guessing there isn't that many.

No it isnt, not at all. To calculate pi precisely using an actual model you would need an amazingly accurate circle.

Its obvious your not understanding what i am talking about so its rather futile. What i am trying to say is that maths and diagrams are not perfect representations of each other. Just because your MS Paint doesn't work for pi doesn't mean much. pi is made for circles, and i would count any circle made my MS Paint that is only 10 pixels wide to not be an actual circle and rather a many sided shape (polygon)

someone back me up here? :S

EDIT: Read this http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/58308.html it explains everything

If you believe Paint or any other circle drawing program isn't accurate then let me demonstrate in a 3d model using 3d blender. I have drawn a perfect circle using 12 cyphers and if you connect them it will make your circle. However, in real life they are bunched together like in the MS Paint model. This is because each atom is so tiny that each atom does not have enough sides to form the perfect circle. Basically in the 3d model because there are 32 sides for the cylinder that means it can attach on whatever angle. However if they can only attach on the sides or direct diagonal that is where the MS Paint model is by far more accurate. This is really going into atomic physics now. You will find that atoms cannot …

But maths isnt digital.. Thats the magic of it, its not bound by the laws of nature.

And if you call something of 10 atoms of diameter a circle, you would have mathematicians up in arms because it could probably be classified as a polygon. This shape may not live up to the expectations of pi

But mathematically, a shape of 10 units (no matter how small) wide that was a perfect circle would obey the rule of pi and make 3.14... as the value of pi.

So its up to you if you interpret in a mathematical way or in a graphical/environmental way.

And also think, if pi could be disproved. Wouldn't one of the millions of brilliant mathematicians done it already?

If you believe it would still be 3.1415 then draw a circle on a grid of 10 by 10 in paint then divide number of pixels in the circumference by the number of pixels in the diameter and see if that equals pi. That test revels pi is false. And yes that is an accurate circle even though it looks very pixulated. I am writing a formula that will calculate the true circumference based on the number of pixels/atoms on the horizontal diameter and the diagonal diameter as they are two different numbers for half the circles.

Uh, sorry to burst your bubble. But a circumference is not the measure of atoms in the circle. Its the measure of distance, so therefore you have to measure the difference between 2 pixels, a diagonal it would be. But that isnt a proper circle. So then you would bisect the diagonal and make it into two diagonals between two pixels. But that still isnt a perfect circle so then you would do that again and again, never finding a perfect circle and thats why you can tell there is no end to pi. Because you can never get a measurable amount of 'atoms' that make up a circle without the circle not being a perfect circle.

kapish?

Well I would hate to spoil the surprise but everything we see in the real world is basically digital. Made of atoms and energy. Then when measuring objects we use measurements that only measure a group of atoms the the number of atoms in that group always varies. It is because we are measuring so many atoms that pi appears to be so long. I have calculated that for about 1cm there would be just a little over 1,000,000,000,000,000 digits to pi. However if you make the circle much smaller (lets say 10 atoms wide) then that means that there hasn't yet been enough loops to get the first couple of digits. It is kinda like Vieta's pi formula where it calculates every circle starting from a circle that is 1 atom …

I also have a theory and am still working on a formula to prove that pi is not infinite in length. If pi were infinite in length then the circle would have have an infinite circumference. And using MS Paint I have found that pi is not always 3.1415. It can vary depending on the size of the circle. For example, a circle about 6 atoms in diameter will produce pi of 3 instead of 3.1415... This can be proven with 2d cg models so try to draw a perfect circle in MS Paint. Then count how many dots in the circumference and divide it by the number of dots in the diameter and you will rarely get pi to more than 1 digit for a small circle.

My favorite movie is Titanic 1997 as it shows how even the best technology can fail on us all. Next best movie is Stargate Atlantis as we all descended from the Atlantians at the Pegasus galaxy. At least that's what I believe in because it's more possible than a single creator and I believe that civilization who created life on earth was the Atlantians from Atlantis. Anyways back on topic the next favorite movie is The Dish based on the radio telescope in Parks Australia which tracked the Apollo 11 during it's mission to the moon. And although I have many others on my list those are the basics.

However if a person made a virus which took over the users cpu and lets say there were 500,000 copies of that virus sent out and the average computer could do 10,000 hashes per second then 500,000 x 10,000 = 5,000,000,000 strings could be hashed per second. That is an incredible amount of cpu not to mention the possibility of taking over googles mainframe in which case trillions more hashes per second could be done. So with the combination of taking over googles mainframe and planting a virus on every computer it would be possible to dehash at least a dozen digits if processing long enough. You see that's the thing. Hackers have access to unlimited cpu, unlimited ram etc so they can dehash whatever they want providing they can write a good virus. So with todays technology it is possible but if you still don't believe me then we will see who gets their hashes hacked. An example of this is the crc32 hash - it has already been hacked and it's only time until somebody scratches their head to crack the other hashes.

If you wont listen then I shall show you the hard way. Attached to this post is a live dehasher written in Java which will check every combination hash to the specified digits to find the original string. Currently it will only dehash to 3 digits and any more it will freeze your computer. However with a mainframe it would be possible to do all 6 digits and very possibly more. Also the "exit dehashing" button doesn't work btw just so you know. Have fun dehashing.

what you think about these technologies ? Are human already able
to exploit the concepts of high energy PHYSICS ? Or just aliens just
give them to us ?

Well from my understanding, I believe earths scientist just don't have enough knowledge of particles to be able to create anti-gravity vehicles. Theoretically it would be possible to create a hover car without any rockets just by sending a positive charge to the earths core. This would create a magnetic effect where the positive charge from gravity against the positive charge of the vehicle would force the two to separate but of course, no scientist has been able to work out how to make such a charge identical to the charge of gravity. That is also where they loose when creating space shuttles for creating gravity systems because currently the space ship needs to rotate for artificial gravity.
So as for the original question I would say humans can master physics before humans become extinct and I would say the nearest life in the universe is in the Pegasus galaxy (Atlantis lol).

How little you know of what actually goes into being a moderator here.

Is that a question or statement? If it's a question then my answer is that I could only guess the enormous effort for preventing spam and keeping things in order. So us members know very little of what happens behind the scenes and can only guess the great efforts the moderators and administrators have put into daniweb.

That is not a new feature -- its been there for billions of years :)

Nobody said that it was new - I just said it stands out more and now that I know what it does and can see the reason of why they made it stand out more than before. :-/

Well to find out you should check your profile under the reputation section to see how much reputation modification power you have. Because different members effect other members reputation more strongly than others. I think it's based on how much reputation you have received and how many posts you've made. I just checked your profile and you have a negative reputation power of -2 and a positive reputation power of 4.

As soon as I see "Linux" and "Ubuntu" in the same comment, immediately tune out. If you want to use the poor-man's OS X, be my guest; but please don't ply it as a real Linux distro, as it ain't!

Well Ubuntu if my Favourite OS as Windoze is too slow and Windoze just can't keep up with the technology. And if you think Ubuntu is so good that it's not classed as Linux then good for you because it must be something better than Linux.

Five senses - I think if all species have around five senses then that would support evolution because why wouldn't a creator create some species with 20 or 30 senses? Wouldn't that be logical if creatism was true. Also if creatism was true, why are so many animals so simular. And who created the creator? We know if evolution was true that 2 gas balls created the universe but we don't know the equivelent story for creatism (such as how time began).
Just a bunch of questions to add to help support evolution and to talk about.
