Why Shoonaya and the infinity are the same both mathematically and philosophically ????

Did you mean suniya (zero in Sanskrit) ??

Then my answer is : you completely lack of common sense.

1. Zero is a finite number. Infinite is an infinite number.
2. Zero is neither positive neither negative. While infinity is positive or negative.

If I'm wrong I invite you to challenge my answer.

Philosophically, Zero is emptiness or void. Infinity is the state of never-ending.

I have read another explanation which I cannot remember how to write.

What ever their values they come together.

Infinity also can be multiple infinities, do you know that or believe that ?

when you compare Temperature and heat.

Zero degree centrigrade can be anywhere within 640 calories for one gram of water.

One degree or 100 degree centigrade for one gram of water is one calorie.

IS it unrelated to our initial argument ?

Oh yes. It is the principle demonstrated by George Cantor.

when you compare Temperature and heat.

Full stop. How can you compare two things which are not comparable ?

Temperature is a MEASUREMENT of heat. Temperature measures the frequency of the vibrations between the atoms.(higher the frequency is , higher the temperature will be, it can be Kelvin, Farenheit or Celsius which all are units of temperature)

Heat is an amount of thermal energy. ( in calories , joules or electrovolts or kWh which all are energy units )

One degree or 100 degree centigrade for one gram of water is one calorie.

What you say makes no sense, and is not right !

People will better understand if you say one calorie is the amount of thermal energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by one celsius degree, at a pressure of 1 atmosphere ! (the boiling point of the water VARIES with the pressure of the air, it is easier to boil water in the Himalaya than in the deep ocean, for example..)


Zero degree centrigrade can be anywhere within 640 calories for one gram of water.


Do not understand that..

IS it unrelated to our initial argument ?

Totally unrelated. You are drunk.

Anud..

:))) You shdn't have asked this Q. Or else I don't know whether you were trying to set a trap! Don't mix science with religion + philosophy! Specially mathematics!

Even if you try to set a trap You will end up in a position with no answers!

BTW...

Was Anud arrogant in posting the above Q...I'm asking the Q from the LNPers who read this article!

And check the arrogance....

If I'm wrong I invite you to challenge my answer.


You are drunk.


And one would justifies the bashing of these HIGH HEADED pure tamils!

Not only. Computers, topology (structure of network, thanks to the Mesh topology), chips, transistors, wireless, etc etc.

In one word it is TECHNOLOGY and Engineering, lead by Science.
