Alternately, what I was inquiring was about these paradoxes of set theory such as Burali-Forti

Thank you for the link. The concept of infinite time Turing Machine led to this blog article which deals heavily with my contention and may be suggested to tackle in a new answer.

@JosephWeissman Take an infinite-Turing tape. There is no limitation to the generation of a number starting with 1 and followed by 0 on that tape. Now imagine God or a Being with non-terminating life press 1 on that tape and press 0. As the number of 0s increase indefinitely it exceeds the number of particles and exceeds single perturbation count. Can there be a theoretical number so large so as to be self-referential? Reference welcome.

I am sorry I do not follow. Do you mean the 'abstract' or where I talked about "number leading to self-refernce"? Please clarify.

Done! Suggestion for improvement or change welcome.

@JosephWeissman I did significant edits to develop the question. I hope it's not against spirit of Philosophy.SE.

My initial question was the one in thought experiment re: "understanding and philosophy of the number system" when a number grows fast. I do believe I have received partial answer from various answerer. It's unfair that it got closed and I do not have sufficient privelege to vote to reopen.

@StephanSchielke What happens if the number of 0s exceed the number of particles in the universe? Also, the last statement then rests upon faith as opposed to logic akin to saying "I can't imagine God, but I know He exists." When does the notion of Existence cease to have existence..or meaning?

Perhaps I should add the physics-tag; my motivation was Poincare recurrence theorem, or rather what happens when the number exceeds all the particles in the universe.

I meant 'Properties'.

hello there

ok leaving.. Thanks for the help everyone

@J.M. Thanks.

By the way, as an aside my question was inspired after Vi Hart's youtube video. :)

Ok I pasted it in Lyx.

@J.M. Tex not appearing ok, no I need to install anything?

Sorry to hear that. Per Erdos he died, then.

Anyone knows what happened to Srivatsan?

@J.M. I remember seeing it, for some reason I didn't bookmark it. But it would be a start.

@JM Mind sharing the link? :)

Any questions similar to transcendental numbers raised to itself infinite times such as pi 'staircase': pi^pi^pi....?

Can I ask a question?

Hello

Hello friends

@MarianoSuárezAlvarez Probably his account is deleted because he may have been trolling?

I ask because I am in similar state...I am too curious if one needs to go to college to pursue self-study to get published in math journal. So I was curious to the answers...

oh...

he opened like 3 questions in short span of 10 mins...i think yesterday

one of the questions he asked: do you need phd to get fields medal

His name was something along line of curious student

There was someone -name withheld- who opened a flurry of questions (3) which were soft in nature and they were deleted in addition to the user being vanished. I for one found the questions interesting although he may have been trollsome. Anyone has any idea on it?

hi

@anon, it's kind of cumbersome and has no urgency... actually I am too lazy to type that whole thing in. Thanks for the help anyway

I go by "Mahmud"

@10 k users, I deleted a question which had 0 votes. If anyone gets a chance can you please take a look at it and help me out. :)

The feeling you get when you see your reputation points go up. :)

@Skullpatrol i think I know why. My account on MSE is Mahmud

@Skullpatrol Please clarify. You nearly gave me a heart attack

Srivatsan space, Scott continutiy, Karagila set... we will make it one day guys :)

Sigh. Only if I had something named after me... Mahmud's theorem :\

Of Kalle number fame?

Oh wait, it's working. I put the code in Visual mode when I should've put in HTML mode. Thanks :)

@JM Thanks but I already used that example code and it's not working.

the site...

I am wondering if someone could help me figure out how to put latex/tex in Wordpress.

Hi.

Does Srivatsan never sleep? :]

Is it true rhino's skin are bullet proof?

@AsafKaragila Going back to my q, what about the fact the distributive law fail in quantum logic- does it have any bearing on well-ordering principle?

Well, Asaf is the king
