macmarauder Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 it doesn't stop, ever. it like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going. half of 10 is 5half of 5 is 2.5half of 2.5 is 1.25half of 1.25 is 0.625half of 0.625 is 0.3125and so on for ever. as far as matter is concerned. even if you keep cutting it down to atoms and then even splitting atoms. there is still something smaller. black matter, quarks, half quarks, ect. one of the rules of science is there is always something there or it wouldn't exist at all. one of the theories that i've been playing with for a long time is what for of matter or even energy is in-between the protons electrons neutrons and nucleus of a atom. there must be something physically there. not just empty space spread by an energy field.

JSKY Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 And I'm convinced, if we ever get to that final point. We'll just see macmarauder staring back at us, smiling..........LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
murtu52 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 yeah, i think it'll just keep accumulate, just as macmarauder said, half of 1 is .5, half of .5 is .25, etc. so tecnically it'll keep going and going.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko_tomas13 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 This was one of my favourite things to think about a while ago. Of course there is no clear answer but going in circles is fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thesidekickcat Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I think this is the theroy behind Homeopathic remedies. That there is some residual part left after controlled division and dilution of a substance, that will heal various aliments, includiing severe allergies. Supposedly, as I understand it, when things are divided and diluted to certain points, then they will cease to trigger allergies, and in fact will trick the body into being cured of the orginal allergic reaction. Interesting idea, and many people seem to believe it works. I guess that is also the medical basis of vaccines too, to trigger the body's immune system to protect against a disease pathogen.God bless everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
