Infinity is random.


Hi Autymn and Wizard_of_Odd, Autymn claimed: There is no infinity.

If 10 is the highest number you can count to,
then 11 is infinity and it's what we C++ coders call a NaN, Not_a_Number.
So infinity is random, in a way, as it's incomplete information.

Wizard_of_Odd posited:

My belief that nature is God is fully supported by
the conjecture that all things are a part of God.
So maybe I should have said God = Everything, which is much more accurate.

Anyone is both God and an insect, depending on what he compares himself to.
God and Satan, heaven and hell are names assigned to the façades of fate.

Comparisons that make us look like insects are heavily censured topics,
banned from many schools, even in the U.S.,
e.g. evolution and the start of the big bang... zoomed_out views.

Autymn commented:

And by definition, conjectures do not support but are in need of such.

Our information is always incomplete, i.e. random,
but some postulates are more probable than others, to wit this postulate:

Randomness is naught but incomplete information, ever virtual, never real.

Wizard_of_Odd noted:

Last night on BBC2's Horizon about The Hawking Paradox
- Stephen Hawking's 30 year belief in his equation
which indicated a loss of information in a black hole.
He was wrong about this, retracting this view for a more ludicrous version.

There's simply not enough time in the universe
for a black hole to perfectly form... it dissipates first.

>From the perspective of earthlings, an ideal black hole radiates almost nothing,
just _Hawking_Radiation_, which is super_tiny for super_massive black holes.

To earthlings, it appears infinitely cold,
as the vacuum is, essentially, infinitely strong.
Thus, in that frame, black holes are the objects with the highest entropy.
A vacuum has much entropy because it's components are so dissipated.

But if one could switch to the local frame at the center of the black hole,
the density, heat and _Unruh_Radiation_ are essentially infinite.

Thus, in that frame, black holes are the objects with the least entropy.
So, you see, entropy is frame dependent... the observer desides.
