To find the base-10 equivalencies "s" spaces to the right of the decimal, in base system B:
(B-n)*B^(-s) where n-values range from n=1 to n=(b-1)
I'm only certain that this works for b=2 b=3 b=4 b=5 b=6 b=7 b=8 b=9 based on checking out base systems 2 and 3
What is the similar mathematical operation that describes base-10 values to the left of the decimal?
Sandwich's Mereotopological Axiom?Originally Posted by Neverheeb
Cool. Would that be an upgrade from a box of rocks suh
Works for me! But don't post it here otherwise what will I do during the next rainy daySandwich's Mereotopological Axiom?
the rumors of your demise OP have been greatly exaggerated
String theory is an active research framework in particle physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. It is a contender for a theory of everything (TOE), a self-contained mathematical model that describes all fundamental forces and forms of matter.
String theory posits that the electrons and quarks within an atom are not 0-dimensional objects, but rather 1-dimensional oscillating lines ("strings"). The earliest string model, the bosonic string, incorporated only bosons, although this view developed to the superstring theory, which posits that a connection (a "supersymmetry") exists between bosons and fermions. String theories also require the existence of several extra dimensions to the universe that have been compactified into extremely small scales, in addition to the four known spacetime dimensions.
The theory has its origins in an effort to understand the strong force, the dual resonance model (1969). Subsequent to this, five different superstring theories were developed that incorporated fermions and possessed other properties necessary for a theory of everything. Since the mid-1990s, in particular due to insights from dualities shown to relate the five theories, an eleven-dimensional theory called M-theory is believed to encompass all of the previously distinct superstring theories.[citation needed]
Many theoretical physicists (e.g., Stephen Hawking, Edward Witten, Juan Maldacena and Leonard Susskind) believe that string theory is a step towards the correct fundamental description of nature. This is because string theory allows for the consistent combination of quantum field theory and general relativity, agrees with general insights in quantum gravity (such as the holographic principle and Black hole thermodynamics), and because it has passed many non-trivial checks of its internal consistency.[1][2][3][4] According to Hawking in particular, "M-theory is the only candidate for a complete theory of the universe."[5] Nevertheless, other physicists, such as Feynman and Glashow, have criticized string theory for not providing novel experimental predictions at accessible energy scales.[6]
In the first chapter of to have or to be, mr Fromm identifies western societies' tendency towards radical hedonism and the individual's desire to possess rather than behold. Perhaps we have been driven to a crisis of identity. Rather than behold the beauty of a flower the westernized individual desires to hold the flower. It is because individuals are radically judgmental of each other. The outward projection of inward beauty has been dismantled and the individuals have been left with a need to "fill the void" by consuming and possessing. Not to mention the pressure to fruitlessly work (gym)
