Absolutly,It is absolutly impossible to reach the absolute.Your asymtote absolutly demonstrates this (absolutly joking :wink: )but doesn't the asymptote create a shadow of the absolute in parallel(or nearly as one is higher on the graph)?does this not create an absolute vector effectively creating a simultaneous "shadow" absolute whose vector logrhythmicly approaches parallel?
The root of imperfection lies at a slope which approaches but cannot reach perfection :grin:

I cannot accelerate to the speed of light because I have a rest mass greater than zero. The speed of light exists even though for me it is unattainable.

In the example of the graph above, sum 1/x for all positive integers x. If I take the limit of the summation, I do indeed get a value. However, if I try to calculate that value through the summation, I will never be able to obtain the value, but isntead only a very close aproximation.

Bought a hawaiian shirt at Ross today. You know - the kind with garish floral patterns and palm trees that even a tourist wouldn't wear. Total came to $20.12. Coincidence or the end of the world as we know it?




they're called aloha shirts and - tourists notwithstanding - they are worn by all sorts of local folk to church, special events, lu'aus, etc... they aren't 'garish', they're just colorful. I'm sick of homosexuals and frat boys co-opting hawaiian culture.

The ultimate meaning of our being can only be fulfilled in the paradoxical leap beyond the tragic-demonic frustration. It is a leap from our side, but it is the self-surrendering presence of the Ground of Being from the other side.

Let me be more clear with what I meant by that.

A moment in which you are travelling at the speed of light does not and will not exist. Therefore such a moment is unattainable. This does not preclude something else from travelling at the speed of light (mainly light :smirk:). Thus the speed of light exists ONLY because it is attainable by light itself. We may observe that it exists, but not from our own experience of that speed. Something may travel much faster than the speed of light in thought or in theory, but until something demonstrates this speed physically, for all intents and purposes it does not exist.

Hey look! I'm capable of materialist reduction, too!

Of course, ironically, anything and everything exists in thought or theory.

Nope... though it is an interesting take on how "Stability" factors into the equation. Stability, too, is (generally) an unattainable, though there are brief moments of stability... they do not qualify for Stability-with-a-capital-S.

Moving on to Graph 3.4d....

I cannot accelerate to the speed of light because I have a rest mass greater than zero. The speed of light exists even though for me it is unattainable.
