complex calculations and other math stuff

[Guest guest]

Well, this is a theory in the making......for me at least. Heck, it might be

already out there......I

was thinking yesterday, as I was writing out powers of 2......(I'm up to 2^26 so

far....now I

have to study them all. I have memorized up to......13 so far......8192......)

I started to " see " in my mind some unrelated numbers, large ones, breaking up

into " webs "

with little squares or diamonds at the ends of the web strings......but they

were all blank for

me. I was thinking that, in the mind of a person who can multiply large numbers

very quickly,

that those blank diamonds that I was " seeing " would be filled with.......the

large number's

elements.......the breakdown of that number into much smaller numbers.......and

that the

whole process must be occuring in the time it takes for a neuron to connect with

another........IOW, almost instantaneously.

I just thought that was very interesting.........worthy of posting.......

make sense to anyone? I'm curious.....

Hi Mircea,

I like your mathematical posts. You are right, of course: exponential growth

only happens for a limited length of time, for applications like this one. Do

you like theoretical stuff too, or just applied?

Have you calculated how much they would weigh,

how much space would they occupy, what matter

and energy flow (or stock) would they need ?

At THIS scale exponential growth gets irrelevant.

Far more relevant is the S-shaped Logistic growth

equation taking into account a limited environment.

Practically validated in 1928 by counting flies

growing in a bottle with a piece of meat ;-)

Thank you for thinking about this,

You mean like

2^25 = 33554432? Or, 2^24 = 16777216?

This is funny! It reminds me of the time my Freshman Chemistry prof calculated

the wave properties of a nickel, and gave the answer per mole of nickels. A

classmate asaked me if the mass of nickel in the Earth would produce a mole of

nickels. We looked it up, and decided that it would not.A mole is a little

greater than 2^115.

I never thought that bacterial growth followed exponential growth

indefinitely.

I was teasing...that high a number would be a lot of anything, right?

there is also a story about a guy that tricked a king into giving him 1

cent on one space of a chess board, and to double that on every space

on the board. The actual number of 2^64 is irrelevent there, too, since

it is far more money then in the whole world

$184,467,440,737,095,516.16 would be a lot of money

$368,934,881,474,191,032.31 is the total for the chess board since

the other 63 spaces would be together one cent less then the 64th space

meaning that ((2^65)-1)/100 would be the inanely large number above

(every space would be one cent more than the preceding spaces totaled)

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128

0 1 1 2 3 4 7 8 15 16 31 32 63 64 127 128

(sorry...I'll shut up about it now)

Interesting. I don't know much at all about chess......what does the above text

mean?

If you mean the two rows of numbers it was supposed to show part of

what I meant. Since the spacing between the numbers reverts to one no

matter how many spaces I put between them It fails to look as I disired

If you put a penny on the first space and double it every space then

the total money on the bourd is

((2^65)-1)/100
