Unfortunately, mathematics seems to have hijacked much, if not most, of theoretical physics and cosmology. For example, we have the purely mathematical idea of black holes being nonsensically given physical existence! "Morgan L. Owens" wrote:At 03:24 09/08/2002, Jim Muth wrote:

And I challenge the reader to go out and point vis arm at any mathematical entity, whether it be a fourth dimension, a Mandelbrot set, or the number two (and don't get confused and just point at pictures of them).

All the elementary arithmetic of finite integers and rational fractions can be constructed." _______________________________________________ Fractint mailing list Fractint@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
