can a man drown in the fountain of eternal life?
Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
can God create a stone so massive, that even He cannot lift it?
(dont make this into a debate about religion)
I attended this religion class when I was younger, and the guy lecturing said something like "when you think of things like "can God create a stone He Himself can't move" you fall into blasphemy and it's better to not think of it at all, for when you do think of it, it's through the direct action of the devil himself", or something like that.
However if you add up all of the finite distances traveled you will eventually get to .99 repeating. .99 repeating is the same number as 1, since two distinct numbers would have a number in between them.
I have a hard time understanding how 1 + 0.5, etc, can equal .99 You would have to start at 0.5 for that to be true. Anyway, there is always a number in between two other numbers, otherwise there would be a finite amount of decimals. And .99 repeating is not 1, it is infinitely close to 1. In practice it is 1 though.
XD That is what happens to my brain in summer, just lose all ability to do math. It would be 1.9999... or 2.
If you are arguing that there is always a number between two other numbers, and that .99 repeating and 1 are different numbers, then what is in between them?
There is not a number in between them, which is why they are not just infinitely close, but actually the same number. Every number can be written in two ways; 1 = .999...., 2 = 1.999..., .5 = .499... and so on.

Asymptotes and all that explain everything, it's not traveling towards infinity it's traveling towards the limit of the equation, which is slightly larger than 1 meter.
I think you guys might have gotten to that point, but there was a LOT of text and it's pretty obvious.
In linear time, you move past the limit and the tortoise loses, no paradox.
A baby girl is mysteriously dropped off at an orphanage in Cleveland in 1945. "Jane" grows up lonely and dejected, not knowing who her parents are, until one day in 1963 she is strangely attracted to a drifter. She falls in love with him. But just when things are finally looking up for Jane, a series of disasters strike. First, she becomes pregnant by the drifter, who then disappears. Second, during the complicated delivery, doctors find that Jane has both sets of sex organs, and to save her life, they are forced to surgically convert "her" to a "him." Finally, a mysterious stranger kidnaps her baby from the delivery room.
Reeling from these disasters, rejected by society, scorned by fate, "he" becomes a drunkard and drifter. Not only has Jane lost her parents and her lover, but he has lost his only child as well. Years later, in 1970, he stumbles into a lonely bar, called Pop's Place, and spills out his pathetic story to an elderly bartender. The sympathetic bartender offers the drifter the chance to avenge the stranger who left her pregnant and abandoned, on the condition that he join the "time travelers corps." Both of them enter a time machine, and the bartender drops off the drifter in 1963. The drifter is strangely attracted to a young orphan woman, who subsequently becomes pregnant.
The bartender then goes forward 9 months, kidnaps the baby girl from the hospital, and drops off the baby in an orphanage back in 1945. Then the bartender drops off the thoroughly confused drifter in 1985, to enlist in the time travelers corps. The drifter eventually gets his life together, becomes a respected and elderly member of the time travelers corps, and then disguises himself as a bartender and has his most difficult mission: a date with destiny, meeting a certain drifter at Pop's Place in 1970.
The fourth dimension is not time, that is a fallacy. The fourth dimension is 'out' and you can move along it either Ana or Kata. Like a hypercubes inner and outer structure.

If that made sense to you, Bravo! I think I even confused myself...

yeah u guys went on with that one...
There is one real life example that we deal with everyday that applies to the above question.
hurray for s3x and sins!
Well, two real life examples if Time will be counted as well.
No, there are two real life examples.
Time
and...?
Give up?
What I was referring to was a virus such as HIV or the Flu.

Great, now that I said that, some dirty individual with an extreme odd sense of fornication is gonna develop virus pornos.
i wouldnt call it natural selection, or evolution, but mutation definitely.
