ITT: Ocean acidification threatens to kneecap marine ecosystems; calcium carbonate shells are becoming more difficult to build. Millions of people depend on fish for survival. Economic fallout will not be limited to the developing world.

>>8667630
a lot of them know enough chem to understand how buffering works but not enough to know about how relatively small changes in pH can muck around with the delta G of a rxn. and of course they don't know how finely balanced a lot of ocean biochemistry is...

So I need to settle an argument

a friend of mine is saying you could reformulate the real numbers to include a special number called the smallest number, kind of like an infinitesimal.

he defined s such that it's the smallest number larger than zero and the multiplicative inverse of s is the largest number smaller than infinity.

He says that it's particularly cool because in his system of numbers s+1/s = infinity (because the largest number smaller than infinity plus the smallest number larger than zero has to be infinity)

What I don't agree with him on is his insistence that s^2, or any s raised to a power, actually exists. Because according to his own logic, s^2 would be smaller than s and therefore s wouldn't be the smallest number. But he wants s^2 to exist so that he can say s*infinity = 1+s^2

How would I go about proving that s^2 doesn't exist or isn't defined?

Also, fuck off, Wildtards. Constructivists never have anything constructive to say.

You can't prove its in contradiction with the system when you don't even really know the rules. Sounds like the guy hasn't even told you how s^2 would work. You could certainly just say s^2 = s. Its not like s behaves like a real number anyways.
>>
Also the reason people don't make dumb things like this is because its basically just the extended real number system that is not a field.
>>
>>8667078
s+1/s=infinity
s*infinity=1+s^2
s^2-s*infinity+1=0
s=(infinity+/-sqrt(infinity^2-4))/2
s=(infinity+/-sqrt(infinity^2))/2
s=(infinity+/-infinity)/2
s=0/2=0 or infinity/2=infinity.
s can't be 0 because you defined it as nonzero. s can't be infinity because infinity is not smaller than a for all a. Both cases are contradictions, therefore s cannot exist.

> Grothendieck had very few books; rather than learning things by reading, he would try to reconstruct them on his own. And he worked very hard.
> Alone, with almost no hints, Grothendieck rediscovered a very general version of the Lebesgue integral. The genesis of this first mathematical piece of work [was] accomplished in total isolation ...
> Dieudonné writes: A general theory of duality for locally convex spaces had to be worked out: Schwartz and I had started its study for Fréchet spaces and their direct limits, but we had met a series of problems we could not solve. We therefore proposed them to Grothendieck, and the result turned out to exceed our most sanguine expectations. In less than a year, he had solved all our problems by very ingenious new constructions; then, with the techniques he had developed, he started to work on many other questions in functional analysis.
> The Grothendieck I knew at this time was a very impressive person, and when I say this I am not thinking only of mathematics. Shourik, as I called him, was one of the strongest and most charismatic people I have ever met. I think of him as a character straight out of Dostoyevsky. He was also a person of great kindness and generosity. He seemed always to be in good spirits, with great mental equilibrium and also, in his own way, a certain joie de vivre. At the time, he had the capacity to be able to sleep when he wanted to, and for the number of hours he wanted to, in order to take up his work all the better afterward. In fact, his capacity for work was to me something miraculous.

I want to be smart and hard working like Shourik.

>>8666719
lol chemistry is just a theory they still haven't proven it. if it were real gravity would pull all the electrons to the center of the earth and electricity wouldnt work
>>
they do.
the closer you are to the nucleus the more probability of finding an electron around it. this decreases with distance
>>
that's basically what orbiting is. What electrons do around a proton is no different from the earth orbiting the sun, just on a really really tiny level. Orbiting is just perpetual falling in an elliptical motion.

What would happen if a sun made out of ice collided with a normal sun made out of lava? The temperature of the sun made out of ice would be -1000°C and the temperature of the normal sun would be 1000°C

Would they cancel each other out so that there would only be empty space left or a 0 degree sun?

That's fucking BS. ONE MAN, ONE WOMAN, ONE CHILD. 50/50

>>8666439
Let's take a small community with one man and 99 woman. Now let's assume that the man has one heck of a libido and fertility and that he makes one child with every woman.

Now, of course, if you take one of the child, he'll have ONE father and ONE mother.
However, if you take the whole of the childs, their ancesters will be 99%women and 1% men.

That's what he meant.

>>8666439
Is this bait? I hope it is. One man can have sex with 100 women, therefore more women reproduced than men. Also 2/3 of your ancestors being female is a possibility. Probably not as dramatic however.
