The NSP and the paradoxes of nature - page 2

 
khorosh:

The analogy is misplaced. There are no boundaries to the universe, but there are NSPs).

There are no limits to stupidity
 
Yousufkhodja Sultonov:
Dear forum users, we are looking for patterns that do not and cannot exist in nature! That is why all our troubles in cognition of processes and phenomena of useless attempts to cognize the world around us are due to a chain of failures. Let us talk in this thread about this paradox, if you are not against it, and about the ways out of this situation. Express your opinions and arguments.
How is it that there is no pattern in nature?
The most obvious one, nothing lives forever.
Another pattern, any random sequence of 1's and 0's cannot go on for ever with 0 or 1's. The biggest sequence will always end.
 
Anatolii Zainchkovskii:
The biggest sequence will always end.

no

 

I remember on one of the forums, there was a great argument - about the possibility/impossibility of making money from SB.

One mathematician, who was desperate to prove to the world that it was impossible to make money on SB, was offered a bet:

- a series of 10 coin tosses

- the mathematician bets that a series of 10 heads or tails will come out.

- the opponent bets that it won't.

- and so a hundred realizations, 1,000 rubles each.

The mathematician, suddenly, refused and fled in shame.

What was all that about? I have no idea...

Bullshit.

It is clear that the probability of such a realization is low, but it's not zero. It is equal to the probability of occurrence of the sequence ОООOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO or RRRRRRR or RRRRRRR

he would have lost money, but he would have won what he was proving
 
Yusuf is one of nature's paradoxes.

What "paradox" are we talking about? First formulate the paradox itself!

A paradox - " we are looking for patterns that do not and cannot exist in nature"?

What's the shame? Didn't agree to a losing argument? Well, he's a mathematician, not an idiot, so he did the right thing.
 
vladavd:
What is the shame? Not agreeing to a knowingly losing argument? Well, he is a mathematician, not an idiot, he did the right thing.

So, it is possible to make money on SB, is it not? The sophisticated soul of Mathematician could not bear the realization of this fact.

This is a paradox worthy of mention in this thread.
