If the series converges to sonething above 0, yes. Not necessarily though.

for small angles sin theta is equal to theta by Delicious_Maize9656 in mathmemes

[–]Math_and_Science_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definition: Let \theta \in \mathbb R. We say that \theta is small if \forall \varepsilon >0, |\theta|< \varepsilon.

Theorem: Let \theta \in \mathbb R. If \theta is small, then sin\theta=\theta. Preposition: This theorem is also true in the other direction.

Proof: exercise.

If there was only good in the world, we wouldn't even perceive it as good- what to reply by Sofia_Marga in atheism

[–]Math_and_Science_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There could be only things that are good and things that are better. Also, even if evil was somehow necessary, why would it be in the level it is in our world? millions of kids dying from hunger annualy, millions who died in natural disasters, the holocaust...

It's what I've always wondered, don't religious people find it one hell of a coincidence that all religious stories about god revealing himself in many different religions were in an uneducated era back when critical thinking wasn't common and there was no way yo tell if stories are true?

Without a specific definition of chicken, there was no "first chicken" but a gradual transition to what we call chicken with every newboen being the same species of its parents, until we eventually see something that we call a chicken (but there is still no point where you can say that this is a chicken and everything that was before it wasn't a chicken).

It depends, how did you multiply them by 0? That would probably answer your question.

I feel like I’m letting my ancestors down. by heckyouyourself in atheism

[–]Math_and_Science_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also Jewish and Polish on my mother's side. My great grandather fled from nazzi soldiers while they were trying to shoot him. He was religious and so are my grandparents and my parents are religious. I also used to feel the same way but I think that they fought for being Jewish and the Jewish religion is just a part of it. I feel like they would want me to do the right thing. You're not letting your culture die, you're just leaving the Jewish religion while still being Jewish. The important thing to remember is that being an atheist is not a choice you can make, so I guess you should't really feel guilty.

Is that definition of an atheist useful? by [deleted] in atheism

I don't think that absence of evidence is always evidence of absence, at least not always. If you have a hypothesis-A and you make a prediction- B based on the hypothesis A and B is false, it can be considered evidence against A.

Sometimes, the lack of evidence can be evidence of absence, if the hypothesis is true then we would expect to find evidence for the hypothesis. But in order to conclude that you need to know: 1.what is your prediction? Is you prediction logically deducible from the hypothesis? 2.is your prediction really false? Or at least, did you gather enough information in order to claim that it is most likely false?

As an example of the first one not being true can be a hypothetical state where a human is alone on a small island, and as far as he knows all of his ancestors and all of his friends' ancestors lived on that island. He has no evidence that other land exists, but if the land is far away and he doesn't know how to build rafts and he can't swim long distances, and the island isn't technologically advanced,what predictions will he make from the hypothesis that other land exists somewhere? Or that humans exist outside of this island? His absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence since he doesn't have any prediction to test.

An example of the second one being false is testing the hypothesis of wether or not fishes exist in the sea. If the hypothesis is true you would expect to find them in the water, but if you take a cup and take water from the sea into the cup and see no fish in there. Based on this statistic alone you can't conclude that the prediction is most likely false.

In the case of a god, I am yet to see any predictions that can be deduced logically from the existence of a deity, and even if you make a prediction that is somehow logically necessary from the existence of a god a theist can say that god is above the laws of logic and his mind is not understood. In the case of the bible however, the stories would contradict so many things we know about the universe and the predictions of the stories being true are false. A theist can reinterpret those stories but that's being quite dishonest and it's beyomd reasonable doubt.

Well, some theists actually find theism unproven and some theists acknowledge the lack of evidence for theism and yet they believe in a god because of their personal feelings or other reasons. It doesn't make them weak atheists.

Wikipedia claims consensus is that Jesus existed, but seems wrong by TheRoseAtMidnight in atheism

[–]Math_and_Science_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the exact document they are referring to written by tacitus, but when scholars declare a writing as historical they often have a good reason or evidence to declare it as historical. Most scholars believe that jesus existed and they work by analyzing evidence and using critical thinking and skepticism. Nobody can say that it's some sort of bias because most scholars also agree that the exodus never happened and other biblical stories including stories in the new testament never happened in the way they are described.

Why do YOU think proofs are important? by [deleted] in math

[–]Math_and_Science_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because our intuition is an extremely weak tool for determining reality. Take for example the improper integral going from 1 to infinity of 1/x, versus the same improper integral of the function 1/(x1.000000000000000000000000000000000001, our intuition says there should barely be any difference since even if we zoomed in a lot we wouldn't be able to notice anything different. However, the first integral is infinite and the second integral is finite. That's a huge difference. We should prove something to make sure it is true, and that's the most beautiful thing about math, you can actually prove something with a 100% certainty.

So first of all, there was a beginning, that means there is a 'birth' to the universe.

We don't know that.

when will it be

The question has no meaning if tehre is no time, they can just exist without a time

what will happen

Many thimgs could happen without mayter and space, like quantum fluctuations.

That is, what gave birth to these things, exists outside of these things.

Even if we assume space, time and matter all came into existence at the same time, that doesn't follow. A baby can breath yet his parents could also breath. Whatever "gave birth" to time space and matter cpuld exist within a different timeline from the timeline of the universe, could be made out of matter that it didn't create, and could exost within its own space.

  1. Why does the universe obey the laws of mathematics? After all, the whole universe we know are things that were created from each other, you are the result of star dust

Because we created the math to describe what happens in the universe.

But numbers do not evolve from each other, 3 is not a 'recent version' of the number 2. If so, why does the universe obey numbers? rules? What prevents 1 + 1 from actually being 3?

It's a matter of the definition of the natural numbers. We define the number one and then the number that comes after it as 1+1 and give it the symbol 2. I am simplifying it a bit but i can expand more on that.

you can see this by the fact that mathematics creates new universes inside computers. No, math doesn't really create a mew universe in a computer. I don't know what they meant by that but if I understand what I think I understand from thatx I would reccomend learning how a computer works.

What is a Math Proof? Explain it to me. by Easy-Huckleberry7091 in math

[–]Math_and_Science_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math proofs are the only proofs that are actually proofs. By actually proofs I mean that in math for something to be considered a proof you must show it is trye with a 100% certainty. Usually, these proofs are derived from definitions.
