I still don't follow. So does this mean that when C(n,2) there is only a half of a way to choose 2 objects out of n?

Okay, Shmoe. I did go back and look at Atheists posts, but I didn't really find anything useful. I was, however, looking at what you just described to me (post #30) earlier today, but I'm not quite sure I understand it. Could you please take a few mins to explain it to me.

Okay, maybe I didn't use the best wording, but my point is that there is no proof that primes are finite in number and I do not believe there can be such a proof.

Well, tell me exactly how any "set" (multiples of two,primes, etc.) of numbers is less than infinite if numbers themselves are infinite? That was my point.

Save up your money and buy drums. Which came first, the number 1 or the number 0?

?/ If 0!=1 then what the heck does 1! equal?

It's a mini tree with snow on it. Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

I think that Greg's just saying there is an infinite number of numbers. Saying that you'll run out of primes is like saying that you'll run out of multiples of two, or multiples of seven. You won't. Although the possiblity of coming across a prime gets smaller and smaller the higher up you go...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "get the job done", Ty. If you're asking what causes the photon to shoot out from the sun, it's just an electron that changed energy levels and "excited" (I guess you could say) the photon to move. The photon travels through space and collides with objects...

Dear Gonzo I agree with you but in a different way than you would want me to. I see and understand your argument, but I also see where you fall short in your examples. The brain has a failsafe mechanism that keeps at least some open memory, like a computer that is programmed to always have 10...

That does make sense. Actually, and I'm being completely honest, I sent an e-mail to one of my professors the other night saying the exact same thing you did, just in different words. I'm researching photons and such right now and am curious to know if you have any other thoughts on the other...

To answer an earlier question on what photons are, photons are a string of energy that possesses properties due to the amplitude of the string's vibration. This is, of course, based on superstring theory. Also, all subatomic particles are comprised of a string, or perhaps a combo of strings that...

A change? What changes and what does the photon "carry"?

so photons ARE actually created during an electromagnetic event and carry the electromagnetic energy to wherever? Is that what you're saying. If so, what is a photon? Is it possible that the photon was inside the electron before it changed energy levels and was simply expelled? :confused: Are...

What is the electromagnetic phenomena that resulted in the creation of photons? I'm very curious. (mostly just to masudr)
