Today on April Fool's Day (by chance) I invented the "God Formula". It is a means of compressing data so revolutionary that it can be used as a basis for the world's most powerful …

It's a type of puzzle game - easy to learn but impossible to master - you can play solo or against an opponent.

Great idea! I really hope you are still doing this when my product becomes available. I don't want to waste my time on day to day selling. Your service would be very valuable to me…

Thank you for asking. I define an infinite number of new sequences twice over in the example above. Between "---universe begin---" and "---universe end---" is listed the state of t…

My favorite programming language is Zero (yes it is my invention). If you have not heard of it then I am not surprised because the language is very new (theoretical actually). You …

Has anyone invented the "butt stool"? And if not then why not? Strap it on and sit any time anywhere!

good link - thanks

Thanks - that was very fun!

Thank you - I have read this and do realize I am out of my depth.

Why is it that Cantor can do an infinite procedure of diagonalization but I can't? If he can diagonalize then I can too. Is it possible that Cantor's "algorithm" is not really an a…

I will just diagonalize forever before I give the set to Cantor. If he claims that he can diagonalize the set to generate a new number not in the set then I will say "Oh, yeah - I …

So there are natural numbers with an infinite number of digits and that is my point. The average can't be larger than the largest number.

Please answer me this one question: What is the average number of bits that are necessary to represent an arbitrary natural number? If the average number of bits is finite then I w…

>But the set N does not have transfinite natural numbers, so q does not map F to N, it maps F to something else. How many natural numbers are there? How many bits does it take to r…

>I's much easier to consider the infinite strings of digits like "0.765653625367523765..." or "0.5265362556..." or "0.000073468763478..." and also the one with repetitions like "0.…

It is possible. The inverse of m is called q. The function q takes an infinite sequence of coin flips and one by one changes every heads to 1 and every tails to 0. The infinite str…

I find Cantor's diagonal argument unconvincing. The claim is that there are more real numbers in the range from zero to one than there are natural numbers. To see that this is fals…

(defun)... square-root (number) (*).... (0) (0) number (0)

I love this! Thanks.
