You should go back and lean some calculus. The littie epsilons and the
little deltas were not infinitely small, but *arbitrarily* small. This
is the whole
point.


Arithmetic relies upon zero being absolutely nothing.
Mathematics relies on zero being "infinity" to the minus 1 power, i.e., an infinitely small real number.

Q. If I have two apples and you take two apples away from me how many apples do I have left?
A. Mathematically I have an infinitely small apple left.

And what kind of calculus was that? It doesn't sound
like any of the varieties I ever saw, unless you're
talking about nonstandard analysis--but in that case
it is entirely clear what the infinitesimals represent.

Mathematics relies on zero being "infinity" to the

minus 1 power, i.e., an infinitely small real number.

"Infinities" is an oxymoron, when dealing with the same physical

Sorry, can't see the point of going in this direction. Of course you
realise that the energy/volume referred to is an average, and may
consist of macro matter (where say the moon invades the volume) or emr
particles. Perhaps there could even be the (unlikely) event of nothing
being present at a particular unit of volume. (Hmmmmmmmm! especially if
we reduce the volume under observation ????)
If gravity had a mass component, being ubiquitous, I'm in trouble :-(

e=3Dmc^2 (or v^2 if you like )
Convert ALL your units of energy into mass, or vice versa. I don't know
what the answer would be, but it would be on large scales, a "constant"
of the universe, eh? An average of matter<->energy per volume.
Babble? Would you rather I learn to "talk the talk" of the other

the work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of
one meter, not a cubic meter.

Convert ALL your units of energy into mass, or vice versa. I don't know
what the answer would be, but it would be on large scales, a "constant"
of the universe, eh? An average of matter<->energy per volume.

"There are infinite cubic meters of space in the universe; " - agreed.

"each cubic meter contains x joules or whatever." - not agreed.

There are 100 cubic meters in my kitchen. Only 0.5 cubic meters
(my refrigerator) contains food. I have no intention of vaporising
yoghurt to fill my kitchen, and I prefer my cheese in lumps.


Average!




Babble? Would you rather I learn to "talk the talk" of the other
thinkless, brainwashed around here?
Anyway, up yours! How much energy do YOU think a cubic meter of space
contains, with a strong gravity field present, and without?

Zilch. :-)

Try again, with my corrected "cubic meter of universe", instead of
"space"

Ok, I'll try again.

"Infinities" is an oxymoron, when dealing with the same physical
entities. There is only ONE infinity for distance, one for time, one
for mass, one for energy.
Average!
with my corrected "cubic meter of universe", instead of "space"


Still mindless babble.

You are stating total energy is NOT infinite; what is its' limit then,
in any units you choose?????????/
I'm not stating anything, you are.
This is what you said:
"There are infinite cubic meters of space in the universe; "
each cubic meter contains x joules or whatever
-------->> infinite amount of energy in the universe.
I'll *assume* for the purpose of debate that the linear reaches
in x, y and z of the the universe are (-oo,-oo,-oo) to (oo,oo,oo) and there
are 8 * oo cubic metres of space.
The *observable* universe is much smaller and appears be mostly devoid
of matter. Even our own solar system has but a tiny star and even tinier
planets, interplanetary space is large. Interstellar space is much larger
and intergalactactic space larger still. It would seem to me that the total
amount of energy per unit volune (Average!) is infinitesimally small.
I have no way of knowing what the Average! energy density would
be beyond the observable Universe might be, but beyond the limits
of where matter/energy may be found, even if unobserved and beyond
the observable, there can only be more nothing, infinite cubic metres of it.
The implication is based on an assumption, yet even then the
implication is that in the limit the energy density is zero and the
total is finite.
So I think you are babbling.

No, just "fairly" small; maybe a few H2 (or less) per cub m

be beyond the observable Universe might be, but beyond the limits
of where matter/energy may be found, even if unobserved and beyond

No; the unobservable (beyond vision) probably on large scale is as what
we CAN observe.

The implication is based on an assumption, yet even then the
implication is that in the limit the energy density is zero and the
total is finite.
So I think you are babbling.

What LIMIT????
I think that YOU are defaulting to the notion of the 1/0 being "too
hard", so must be labelled "undefined", rather than the reality of the
concept of infinity BEING infinity- ie NO limit to volume, and
therefore NO limit to whatever that volume contains.
So I think you are scrabbling

A cubic meter of NOTHING, may be considered differently from the common

Yes!
The interior of the sun will vary some from an area of remote inter
galactic space (read volume) :-)
OTH, 10^-n (where n is a large number) of a cubic meter, will have
much in common with that remote volume, even if it were in a dense
material (ignoring gravity fields, which I have already indicated are
a worry to me in considering total universal mass/energy)

I had hoped that we could fight ignorance with a proactive rather
than a reactive approach, but this is clearly the improper forum for

drifting

to nonsense compared to the length of threads based on sound thinking
reveals the true interest in the proposal.

While it would be a useful project to contribute to the FAQ, the
intent was to educate in the context of discussion, a virtual
"classroom" if you will. There's no point in contributing to a

from. The intention was to focus on *exactly* what is wrong in
someone's thinking (which varies from person to person), set it
straight, and then make progress from there.

I had high hopes -- really -- that perhaps one misguided soul would
