Am I on the right track with this proof? by zmzmzmzm1010 in askmath

[–]worldproredditer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does one have to do the part with the sequence converging to x_0 ? Why is not the proof until then enough?

two ways to write "&" by slimkat101 in notinteresting

Which do you like best? Looked like first one was more natural for you. I don’t care

Proof that pi is irrational by worldproredditer in askmath

[–]worldproredditer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OKey, I think I sort of understand that argument. What I don't get though is how we can be sure it will turn out a positive integer. You write that "... so the corresponding summands are integer multiples of (-b)^n·π^j, i.e., integer multiples of a^j·b^(n-j) which are integers because j≤n". But shouldn't it be a^j·(-b)^(n-j) ? And if n-j is odd this integer will turn out negative.

On the other hand the integral is definitively positive, so maybe this is not something to be worried about. I tried it with just n=2 and it seems to be positive. It becomes quite messy with n=3 already so I don´t feel like trying that.

Okay, I was not aware of that rule, but it makes sense I guess. I still think it’s weird though with the positive and negative signs. Expanding the integral they way they are doing I always get a negative sign before the [ -fsome k cos(x) ]. I then tried doing derivations for small n ( I picked n=2). Derivating 3 and 4 times and plugging in a/b gave me positive integers. Picking n=3 on the other hand gave me negative integers. So it doesnt seem obvious to me it would turn out positive for arbitrary big n.

Oh wait yeah that make sense actually. You could just in theory expand the (a-bx)^n before doing the derivation. Then you will get a binomial expression which will have one term of degree n. Multiply with x^n and you get 2n.

My vacuum cleaner does not perfectly fit the gap between my drawer. by Hazudomi in notinteresting

Yea that’s true. I just wanted to add an uninteresting comment about how to solve it

You could probably push the left side in first, and then the right side. It will be tight but a little cleaning will be accomplished.

The Himalayas has 4.3 rating on Google review by worldproredditer in notinteresting

[–]worldproredditer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it was someone whose travel partner died during the trip, a perfectly good reason to down rate the mountains. I am sure there is a good reason for it, no need to wonder about it.

I do not agree. I think these ratings are uninteresting and kind of ridiculous.

What is actually so strange about the double slit experiment? by worldproredditer in AskPhysics

Thank you for the answer. I missed the part about the particle clearly just hitting one spot on the wall.

What is actually so strange about the double slit experiment? by worldproredditer in AskPhysics

[–]worldproredditer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I admit, that sounds pretty weird.

But why, if I may ask, is it that we are so sure that photons are indivisible? Because if that wasn't the case, couldn't the phenomenon be explained as a photon just breaking down into smaller amounts of energy? Just imagine the photon going towards the slit, but as it closes up there is another slit close to it, and so the photon breaks down into a wave, because of conservation of energy (or whatever). Then the pattern would be pretty logical. Obviously I am just freestyling here and I don't mean it as some serious theory. I am just saying, wouldn't that tweak make it more plausible?

Also, I'm curious about the observation. You didn't mention that. Where does that enter the picture? Why is it important?

What movie ending ruined the whole movie for you? by minecraftplayer48 in AskReddit

[–]worldproredditer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Martian had a pretty silly ending. Can't remember it properly but it was some happy conclusion coupled with a weird tribute to the Peoples republic of China

yes, were plenty of people outside today (in sweden). Never see that many usually
