We will be in touch
Just because your + is a bigger number than someone else's + doesn't make your shared opinion more valid, somehow better, or actually FACT
Just saying' like. 😉
+ infinity squared
What if Brian Cox says it?
I'm 120% with you on this one PP.
I think the intent is more like [i]"agree"[/i], [i]"VERY strongly agree"[/i] and [i]"Oh my god we are so alike. I think I love you. Lets make babies together"[/i]
LOL! 😀 @ wwaswas
Ha !. You lot should think yourselves lucky....
I can't even post the ' ' symbol.

I'm 1000% more than him ^^

I'm starting an arms race for minus numbers expressing my disapproval instead then
On a different note, is it possible to square infinity? That's like travelling FOREVER in one direction, then turning round and coming back again, surely?
You seem even more bored than DrP when he made his bar stand thing..
+/- a lot.

This +(infinity +1)!
(yes i mean factorial, not exclamation)
Zero is the sum of nothing, nine zero's is nine times the sum of nothing.

or, if the universe is spherical, circumnavigating it twice.
^ this
or maybe ^ that
there was a very good documentary on the concept of infinity and the fact there's more than one infinity, infinities bigger than other infinities... delightfully mind boggling yet easy to understand at the same time.
Sorry Binners. I'm bringing in a new rule. +/-1 is all that's allowed unless you are actually the size of more than one average person. As a rule of thumb I suggest +2 if you're over 24 stone, +3 over 36 stone, +4 over 48 stone etc.
I might allow +2 for those with personality disorders though. I'll think about it.

Is this the BBC4 one I watched which talked a lot about mathematicians trying to comprehend it an ultimately all going insane?

"+" 1 😕
[i]I'll think about it. [/i]
I'm in +2 minds about that one as well.
what about +2 for people with multiple log-ins?
andrew.... possibly! fermat's last theorem or something?

Surely no one would do that....

Yeah, whatever. But what if its actually Binary ?.

*rolls out the "there's 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't" joke*
Can we do hex?
+FF

Yes

SQUEEEEALLL !.
😀
what about +2 for people with multiple log-ins?
No.
They have to log in with each and vote +0.5 twice.
Durrr!

Infinity is a concept not a number, so you can't do arithmetic on it. So no.
PeterPoddy + lots
andrew.... possibly! fermat's last theorem or something?
I was thinking this one:

I'm 200% with PP on this so there!

Yes & no. Is concept, however...
See Hilberts Hotel for how to square infinity.
Can we do hex?
Complex numbers? +1+2i
Where does my agreement with your post sit on the Argand diagram?
Surely the size of the universal is infinity cubed since it goes on for infinity along each axis.
volume = width * height * depth
#awaits nobel prize
What about golfists? Can they have a +4?
thats the one andrew! well found 😀
+ infinity and beyond (to op) 🙂
So 320% of two people now agree with me. Fantastic!!!
[i]Fantastic!!! [/i]
+1000
oh.

[geek]Yes the answer is infinity.
How many number between 1 and infinity - infinity
How many square nubers between 1 and infinity - must be less surely as there are less square numbers than normal numbers? Nope still infinity[/geek]
∞ + ∞ = ∞
∞ - ∞ = ∞
∞ x ∞ = ∞
∞ / ∞ = ∞
0 + 0 = 0
0 - 0 = 0
0 x 0 = 0
0 / 0 = ∞
Therefore ∞ = 0
Nobel Prize please.
Hats off for GrahamS for truly going above and beyond and giving 110% 😉

Isn't that assuming the universe is a cube?

I reckon it's the shape of a Nice 'n' Spicey Nik Nak, or possibly a Wotsit
Won't the curvature of spacetime mess up your distance/volume calculation?

+ 4/3 ? r3
you mean + 4/3 ?(?/2)^3
How many number between 1 and infinity - infinity
No.
It's a nonsensical question.
You might as well ask how many numbers are there between 1 and more.
It's meaningless. Infinity is a concept, not a real number. So you cannot do arithmetic with it. There are an infinite number of real numbers, but that does not mean that there is a real number called infinity. Obviously.
I like the fact that I am made up of 0.000000000000001% something... and the rest of me is nothing.
[i]how many numbers are there between 1 and more[/i]
lots?

I think you'll find Ariel Universe Ultimate is whiter than white and gives far more colorful colours and better shades of grey.

I respectfully disagree
Infinity isn't merely a concept its essential mathmatically in calculus and set theory.

I didn't say it wasn't an essential concept.
But it's not a real number. You can't count to it. So trying to put it in arithmetic statements is nonsense.

the 'concept' of infinity falls down when you use it in basic arithmetic and algebra and you end up creating paradoxes.
yes, it has its place in calculus and other branches of more complex theoretical mathematics, but not arithmetic.
I remember a variation of the infant school playground "my dad's bigger than your dad" whereby as five year olds we didn't realise that falsely claiming that your dad was the oldest (iirc I said my dad was 99 years old 😆 ) did not necessarily make him more likely to duff up everyone else's dads....
damn you binners, I was going to go negative.
Did Johnny Ball do a programme on this?
? + ? = ?
? - ? = ?
? x ? = ?
? / ? = ?0 + 0 = 0
0 - 0 = 0
0 x 0 = 0
0 / 0 = ?Therefore ? = 0
( . Y . )
There was a nice bit on the radio years ago about a guy trying to explain infinity to his young son:
Dad: Son, what do you think the largest number anyone could possibly count to, a number so big nobody could count any higher
Boy: errr, Eight million, three thousand and sixty three
Dad: ahh but, what if i add one more to that, making Eight million, three thousand and sixty four
Boy: Well.... I was close.
