Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
You don't see the contradiction? It doesn't matter if the time it takes to cross the next half distance gets faster with each step, there's always another distance to cross. You can't reach the end of an infinite set of steps no matter how fast you go through them. There are endless 'infinite' step...

Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
Synov the crowd says keep going😆 So I'll go a little more. You are describing the paradox. "That's the same as asking if there's a final number of the form 1/2^n. There isn't. There are infinite integers n and infinite numbers of the form 1/2^n." "There are an infinite amount of numb...

Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
But math it seems to me takes some liberties that step over philosophy. The idea that an infinite sequence adds up to a finite number is incorrect to me. Try adding up a bunch of terms of the sequence 1/2+1/4+1/8+... and you'll quickly see they approach 1. They are never going above 1, let alone gr...

Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
Synov I promise I'm not trying to be obtuse. I'm 10 years since my days of Calculus 2, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, and I was a C student at best when it comes to math. I was a Computer Science major not a math major :releived But math it seems to me takes some liberties that step over phi...

Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
Since this thread has been resurrected from its ghostly form, I thought I would take the opportunity for a math lesson. The way I've interpreted it is similarly to the Zeno's Paradox where if you travel half the distance between two points, and then half that distance, and half that distance and so...

Re: The Edge Is A Ghost?
Now consider at the atomic level, nothing really touches anything. Atomic/molecular bonds, vibrational frequencies make objects solid. It keeps you from falling through your chair when you sit on it, or the ground when you walk on it. Go small enough, everything is mostly just space. Then think of w...

Re: Building a Custom Knife for Sal: CPM S60V
Shawn, How do you balance the need for rapid cooling but avoid warping, especially on such a big blade? I would have guessed it would cool unevenly and worry on you. Not sure if this is what you're asking, but he prevents warping by clamping the blade in between two big aluminum blocks. Helps it co...

Re: Tax day MAP sale!
I came to discover that if there was a knife I really wanted, I bought it already. No deals good enough to tempt me into buying anything I was 'kinda' interested in. 9:47.... almost made it.

Re: Lil' Temp 3 & Short Thick Blades
Follow-up question: Is a thick blade particularly desirable for SD? The Yojimbos are all thick at 3.7mm. Yet I notice the Canis is a normal 3mm, and the Karahawk a thin 2.5mm. Janich makes the Jandelica, and it's only 2.5mm. So it seems that 'thick blades' are not necessarily correlated with SD des...

Re: My First Bento Box Shop Experience
Other than a dislike of their prices and return policy, what has really kept me from the pm2 para3 K390 offerings is the Seki offerings. For my uses with K390, the thinner the better. 13-10dps. Golden K390 blade stock isn't too thick to be good. I've got Maxamet, S110V, and a few other steels in the...
