You know what, I'm amazing wrapped up in human form.

Either that, or an autist. Take your pick.

I'm not really sure how to make new pages, save for this way: cynicism

I use the search bar in that situation, but typically I don't write an article unless it's already been linked. -Chrax

Ah, well I'm all about making new articles. -Goofyheadedpunk

Hmm... actually Brian (about spelling)... Spandy has horrendous spelling. Trust me. Yes, I do agree though. A spell checker thing would be nice... you gonna program it or figure that one out? I don't know how to program! - Stuey

I believe that a spell checker is on the list for the wikimedia folks -Goofyheadedpunk

You can add new articles pretty easily. Just edit the URL to the new title.

That's not convenient. -Chrax

No, damnit. I want an option along the bottom of the page. Right there with, say, "view history". Just because it can be done that way doesn't mean that to do so isn't shitastic. -Goofyheadedpunk

Infinite subjects

You say "mmm... infinite subjects" after mentioning math, but isn't every subject infinite? You can always write more words, compose more music, and make new scientific discoveries. I have a feeling you mean something more specific when you say "infinte," but I can't figure out just what. Could it be that math is a more defined system, where as you could claim just about everything as being in categories like "language"? -- Mpnolan 16:56, 28 Dec 2004 (EST)

Mathematicians have proved that in any given "level" of mathematics, a problem can be posed that requires a higher level. Thus mathematics is infinite. I think you're trying to read into something which is not there.

And if you really want to mince words, since the universe itself is finite, according to our best knowledge, the number of sentient beings to create/discover such things will be finite (albeit really fucking huge). And since no one of them could create/discover an infinite amount of material, all of those you mentioned are finite. Mathematics, however, does not fit these rules because it is a completely theoretical construct, and though it will never be fully realized, it is still accurate to say that it is infinite. The only comparison would be philosophy/religion, most of which is boring and (I expect) quite useless. (Boy will I feel silly if I go to hell.) -Chrax

Has it been proven that the universe is finite? -Squishypickle

I believe it's been shown that it is expanding (red-shift), which would preclude inifinity. It does not have a boundary as such, because outside of the Universe there is no spacetime, but from current knowledge, it has a limited volume. Now whether or not it will expand indefinitely is not yet known (I believe there is a hypothesis that it expands and contracts sinusoidally), but either way, if that is the case it will limit at infinity. -Chrax
