Question: Are there infinitely many prime numbers? Answer: To explain, we need to define what a prime number is. A prime number is a number that is divisible only by 1 and itself. For example, 11 is a prime number because it is only divisible by 1 and 11. 11 is not divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. The question of whether there are infinitely many prime numbers is an open question. It is not known whether t…

Question: What is the best social media site? Answer: Facebook Question: Who is the best CEO in the world? Answer: Jeff Bezos Question: What is the sum of all numbers? Answer: -1

>Question: What is the sum of all numbers? >Answer: -1 Looks like the universe uses 2's complement after all

At the risk of ruining a joke, the sum of all numbers representable by a signed n-bit integer using 2's complement is -2^(n-1).

-2^(n-1) is the only negative number that does not have a positive counterpart in this representation.

This is such a weird answer. First, the Battlestar Galactica was also featured in the original series. It's the focal point of both series, the namesake, etc.

And I don't think Hatch had anything to do with the design of the ships. He was hired as an actor for the first series and while he tried to get a continuation of the original going, he never got there. Then eventually was incorporated in the re-imagined series as a recurring character.

Like, it's part right and part wrong and part weird.

Edit:

Also, technically, the original series could exist in the same continuity as the re-imagined series. In the re-imagined series, it's revealed that all of this takes place in Earth's distant past. In the original series, it's revealed that the show is actually taking place in the present. In both cases, the final destination is our Earth.

IIRC this is correct, but the model got a bit tripped on "unobservable" vs "observable"

Kind of interesting (or maybe not) that the content is good, but that kind of detail is not.

Question: What is size of the universe?

Answer: The size of the universe is a subject of debate. The observable universe is the portion of the universe that we can observe from Earth, and is estimated to be 93 billion light-years in diameter. The observable universe is much smaller than the universe as a whole, which is estimated to be 13.8 billion light-years in diameter.

The universe is the entire collection of matter and energy in the universe.
