Any of you guys played EV Nova?
Fun little 2D elite style space trading/combat game. worth checking out if you like elite.
Been hammering it for a short while now.
It's worth checking out Liberalviewer's latest youtube video and leaving a comment for him.
He will be at Vidcon on the panel to discuss copyright and youtube policy.
It was 'The Selfish Gene' that really illuminated the subject for me, once it was explained in terms of game theory, it all made sense. I read TBW after TSG and really enjoyed it, especially his explanation of cumulative selection (The 'Methinks it is like a weasel' thing).
Dragon Age (only played 10 hours so far and it's already my favourite game xD)
KoTor 1 (Second one sucked)
Mass effect
World of Warcraft
Fable 1 and 2
Warcraft 3
Starcraft
Total Annihilation
Half Life 1 + 2 +Episodes
Metroid 3
Soul Calibur 2 (Xbox Version)
Fallout 3
Oblivion
Planescape...
I know it's a mathematical problem, I was just making the observation that it would have a very real answer in reality due to the discontinuity of the Planck length (whether you could actually measure it is a different matter).
Why would it be a joke? You can mathematically represent a speed faster than light, but that doesn't make FTL any more of a reality; the same would be true when you get down to Planck lengths, although you can mathimatically represent a smaller size, it has no real meaning in our universe.
Surely the smallest 'point' would be 16.163×10−^36 m in size (a Planck length), so if the size of the circle was known, you could work out exactly how likely it was?
Edit: Although, with Pi being irrational, it might not be possible.
