Not Infinite

Ok, so I posted about infinity, right?

But now I'm wondering about another thing. There are a bunch of stuff we can't count, say the molecules of an object.

If we can't count them, they would be infinite.

But they are finite, say the number of grains on a beach. But we can't count that. Or the number of drops of water in the ocean. Can't count that either, right?

So are they infinite? No. no they are not infinite. Are they countable? No, they  are not countable.

So,how do we call them?

Whatever You're Thinking. I hope this is it.
Here's where Math steps in. The monster has ways of finding out. Like, in sugar, you can find the weight l x w. It's not exact, but hey, at least we know it's not infinite or anything.

But I hope that the Math Monster has an equation to calculate a person's love for you. Because if a guy says to a girl, My life for you is Infinite, the girl can calculate how much the guy really has for the girl.

Because nobody needs an infinite amount of heartbreak....

About One to Ten

One two, buckle my shoe. Three four, shut the door. Five six, pick up sticks. Seven eight, lay them straight. Nine ten, a big fat hen.

Wondering why I typed that? Well, a lot of myths and traditions and practices involve counting.

Recently(by that I mean this morning), I had the hiccups. Mommy said I should drink a glass of water. But I felt lazy and comfy in my bed and I was searching the web, so I decided to do the whole Hold-Your-Breathe-For-Ten-Seconds thing. I did, but the hiccups did not go away. So, I got up and went to the kitchen to put myself out of my misery.

After that, I thought about other myths and practices that involve counting. Then, I remember the counting sheep-thing. You know, count the imaginary sheep that jump over the imaginary fence in the imaginary field. I tried that several times, especially when I was, like, I dunno maybe kindergarten. It works, and before I thought it was like a call to the SandMan to put sleepy-dust in my eyes.

In the later years, I realized that there was NO SandMan, and I only fell asleep because I get tired of counting the sheep.

Then there's one thousand one, one thousand two, where one one thousand equivalents to obe second. I tested it out, and it was true.

And when you're mad, you're kinda suppose to cout from one to ten again. To cool your temper. I'm a kind of  person that gets mad easily, and I do these sometime(not all the time, though. I don't have the best memory). It works, sorta. Well, it makes my temper go down, but my rage for this person doesn't go away.
On A Scale of 1-10. I do this before I go to sleep

Then, there are jokes about one to ten kind of stuff. What I found the most corny was:

Q: Why was six afraid of seven?
A:Because seven ate nine! (seven eight nine)

At first, I was kind confused by the joke. Seven Eight Nine? What was Six Afraid of? Because Sven is next to 8 and 9?

When they explained it to me, I said,"AAaaaahhhhh...... ok"

Anyways, I think these kind of things are only ways to teach kids how to count properly. But then again, I'm no kid and I do these all the time. ;)

Infinty

Salut mon ami. C'est Sophia.

So anyways, I'm wondering about infinty.

That's right. Infintiy.


But infinity is an element I don't think we could ever understand. And the funny thing is in numbers, if you say 'two consecutive numbers', you'd think 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 3 and 4.

But in between these two consecutive numbers are decimals. And these decimals are infinite, according to Ma'am Jen.

So, how can you say these two numbers are consecutive when in other terms, there is an infinite number of decimals between them, keeping them apart forever. . .

INFINITY. We'll never understand it
Ouch.But hey, that's a mystery life gives that I don't think we could ever understand.
