I think your intuition has some validity, But, in what sense could "two integers collide"? In order to literally bump into each other, mathematical values (quanta) would have to possess material properties (qualia) That's why it's always hard to discuss metaphysics without using physical metaphors.Lets assume if two integers collide their values combine and gain different properties, however collisions become exponentially(?) harder as the size gets bigger. — Ben Ngai
as every number has a unique property — Ben Ngai
I ment to say. Every natural number has unique properties at the very least. — Ben Ngai
I use the term real numbers in the mathematical sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number. — Ben Ngai
0 can seperate itself into two infinitesimally small numbers say alpha and -alpha. — Ben Ngai
now we know infinity times any positive number is infinity. — Ben Ngai
So that means that the sum of finite alphas is infinite. — Ben Ngai
2) Now lets assume that positive numbers have an attractive force on the NES based on their numerical value and negative numbers have a repulsive force based on their numerical value.
Implication. Give my assumption that the universe started uniformly at a zero energy space, as natural numbers pop into existence, since the natural numbers are positive, the rest of the NES becomes ever slightly negative with positive points that are slight attractive wells. This implies that the NES expands faster over time as there is more and more average negativity in the NES almost everywhere. — Ben Ngai
I also know this is irrelevant because I only judge based on the merit of your ideas, not your formal education. But out of curiosity what did you study and how far did you get? I have a BS in mathematics and a small amount of graduate training. — Ben Ngai
Real analysis was the easiest subject in undergrad for me. Went to class. didn't study got A+ from chancellor professor. Made me consider grad school seriously. I skipped to measure theory my senior year and took some grad econ and stat. That was really hard and I realized grad school wasn't for me. To put it bluntly. — Ben Ngai
Also it's been like 9 yeas since i took real analysis so... i might be confused. — Ben Ngai
Sorry Fish I misread your post. — Ben Ngai
So can you bare with me, — Ben Ngai
Fish, I don't think you're at odds I just presented the most crazy, outlandish idea that exists at the moment on a metaphysics forum. — Ben Ngai
Fish, thanks for help me bounce this outlandish idea. I was looking for someone that would help and reddit was no help. If this forum didn't exist i probably would have wrote a first draft and published a book that nobody would read then be sad and stop sharing my wild ideas due to being frustrated from being ignored. — Ben Ngai
Wow, so i might have accidentally come up with the idea of the century if it turns out to be true at least even in some way or leads to an explosion of new ideas?
That's what I'm hearing? But i know that's not what you're saying.
I won't get my hopes up.
Before someone else tries to name it. I want to call this the Mathematical Theory of the Universe. if it becomes scientific cannon. — Ben Ngai
sorry let me learn this forum. it'll take me a maybe like 1 more hour... — Ben Ngai
I really hope this is true now, because set theory is among the coolest pure math subject. And it could have vast physical applications potential? — Ben Ngai
But I think we're looking at it the wrong way. Instead of saying Math and physics are the same. We can say This universe is one of the many universes with unique properties that math can completely be derived by just a space and numbers. — Ben Ngai
