This is in no way an answer to you question, but reading you post made me wonder about an other aspect of math and time. Itīs true that (most) people use base 10 math, because for some reason it is the easiest way to do math. Just like computers do all their math in base 2. The thing that people and computers have in common is that both prefer to do math with Integers. Both humans and computers have to be "tricked" into computing Floats. The most diffult calculations are those with an infinite number of decimal points (like Pi or 1/3). With regards to time I have the following question: When I create a Float with infinit decimal point, like 2/3 WHEN (at what moment in time) is that number complete? Is there an "endless" proces in time created every time we create a Float or are all those decimal point create at the same/no time? Gerwin Brink Or do we just point to exsiting objects and is the Universe truly object oriented? |
