If nothing can exceed infinity, then how does THIS compare? -- Infinity to the infinite power, factorial.?

Question

And if you're willing to tackle that, please also consider this:

An object of given mass strikes an immovable object at light-speed minus 1 cm/sec. How does the energy released from that impact compare to the energy that would be released if TWO objects of the *same* mass were each travelling TOWARD each other, and collided head-on, wherein each object were travelling at lightspeed minus 1 cm/sec.?

Answer 1

Infinate to the infinate power is infinate by mathmatical law. No discussion.

The second impact has double the energy, so it will release double the energy as well, but remember, from the point of each of the objects, the relative speed does not exceed the speed of light, due to time distortion.

You have nothing more serious?

Answer 2

As far as the infinity Q Infinity can not be added to subtracted from multiplied or divided as a mathimatical equation its that simple.

As far as the collitions its true that only a light particle can reach such a speed but lets assume thats not true for the purpose of entertainment for a second. If an object hit an immovable object at the speed produced it would depend on the mass of the moving object as well as the density of it so that part is really hard to give an answer that you might be looking for.

But as far as the other part to your Q there are machines that smash atomic particles together at near the speed of light and they say that this can cause the creation of matter and or anti-matter out of nothing. Now at twice the speed of light minus 2cmps with larger objects i would think that would cause a another big bang ( much smaller mind you ) that would produce both matter and anti matter but matter would out number anti mater at about a 1 billion to 1 ratio like the big bang did and because mater and antimatter anialate each other i bilionth of the mater would survive and thus would produce entirely new matter in adition to the matter that already existed into the universe out of nothing.

But here is the thought that will probably discredit my answer. Maybe that is why the creator made it so only light particles can travel at that speed so the because if that were not the case it would surely happen with some regularity and the universe would become more massive and dence and it would then by reason happen more and more until the univers got so dence and massive that it would rapidly cause a big crunch.

Answer 3

wouldn't infinity to the infinite power, factorial, at least in theory, equal infinity?

the result of the equation would be indefinable since you are multiplying an already indefinable number with itself. Thus, infinity would be the only term applicable..

As far as the collisions go...

you haven't specified the mass of the immovable object. You say the mass is given, but where? (forgive me if I have missed it)

Anyway, I think the energy released would be greater in that of the traveling object striking the immovable one. Because in the situation of the two objects traveling toward each other with the same mass and the same speed, in a head-on collision, the force of impact would be equally distributed between the two objects.

Not so with the immovable object, the object that is smaller wiill absorb most of the energy from the impact. Much like a sedan hitting a Semi. However, since the sizes of the objects has not been specified, it is a little harder to answer the question...

I hope this helped.

Answer 4

Well sir, you would have an infinite quantity of something. In theory you could do the math, but infinity is never ending, so thus you couldn't do it. Also, in the theoretical situation of the velocity of an object going light speed minus 1cm/second, it happens all the time in space. I'm certain that somewhere in space, particles of the same mass collide at such ultrahigh speeds in atomic reactions. And look what happens. If it hit an immovable object, the energy would cause a spectacular explosion. I couldn't tell you if the immovable object would survive or not, it would depend on the material it was made of. But chances are that the object would disintegrate instantly.

Answer 5

Infinity exceeds infinity. Infinity to the power of infinity equals infinity. If two objects of equal mass traveling exactly opposite toward each other at light speed minus 1 cm/sec = KKAABBOOOOM. Wow, Energy for a continent - if that energy can be harnessed. Problem is trying to get a mass moving that close to the speed of light requires massive energy.

Answer 6

A line IN represents infinity of all the numbers such as odd numbers[O]plus even numbers[E].
We can identify and select on line all the odd number up to infinity.[E] 1 the set 1,3,5,7....infinity
The same applies to even numbers up to infinity.[O] =set 2,4,6,8...infinity
Hence the parts are equal to the whole.[E] = [O] = infinity

The same scenario occurrs with transcendal functions which boils down to =INFINITY =infinity

An imovable object is an object at rest. An object which moves at or close to the speed of light =C+-can only be the particle mass of light which is a constant mass.
The particle of light is basically a perfectly elastic structure.
If a train of light mass particles were to strike a large mass structure at rest(an atomic structure) some of the particles of light will be absorbed into the mass at rest ,and dependening on the configuration some particles will bounce off with the same energy that they struck the atomic structure.

If the speed of light =C =2.99724580 x10^11 centimeters per sec and you substract 1 cm/sec. as far as the calucation goes its negligible.
When a mass is given Power to move at the velocity of light ,the structure of the mass is chalenged by the great amount of Power it was subjected to . The result would be that the mass would break up into pieces which would fly out at the speed of light.,Summing up to an energy equal to the structural energy of the masses in question.

So basically the two colliding masses would break up in pieces dissipating the sum of the two mass structural energies.

So if The structural energy of the two masses were equal,The total energy dissipated would be 2 x E =2 Mc^2.

The question was not that difficult. Its basically very vely simple.

Answer 7

well it is what u understand by infinity........it is not a stagnant value.......u can always find a no dat is greator than another no..........
if the collision is elastic in the 1st case den the immovable particle will break dividin momemtum into many pieces of it and thus the net nergy released will b less than if they both strike (also as change in momemtum in the 2nd case is 2*m*v.......

Answer 8

It can't be factored, there is a symbol for infinity because mathematical tinkering can always lead to one, but that is where it ends, there are no infinities. Why bother asking a question that can't be answered?

Answer 9

your brain is the size of infinity to the infinite power. The only problem is that mine is a peanut.

Answer 10

I bet you havent got any freinds.. have you?.


Too clever by half...

Get a book on quantum mechanics and mathermatics. Dont ask on yahoo... we,re all stupid...lol
