Physical proof that infinity isn't real

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-27 16:32

Physicist frequently use infinity when talking about fields (ex. V = integral of E*dr from 0 to infinity) but if the fields were infinite, be they gravitational or electric, they would span the entire universe and all things effected by it would collapse into a single, crushing point. This has clearly not happened and is not happening. QED, infinity is not real.

The analog to that would be induction, but you don't always have to use it.

Let f(n) = 1/(n^2).
Let s(n) be the summation: s(n) = \sum_{i=1}^{n}(f(i)) = \sum_{i=1}^{n}(1/(i^2))

Prove that there exists an upper bound, c, such that for all chosen n, you have that s(n) < c.

You don't need to talk about infinity. You just avoid assuming an upper bound for n. So all your arguments would apply regardless of how large (or how small) n is.

mhm, i've read something similar before, except that link is a little different.. and i don't quite get the point of that one. Obviously the faster runner will overtake the slower one, if neither speed up nor slow down..
The one i've heard is that A is 3 blocks behind B, B travels 1 block per A travels 3, and at each corner(?), the speed of A & B drops to 1/3 the current speed, with corners at 3, 1, 1/3, 1/9, ... so A never catches B

Suppose Homer wants to catch a stationary bus. Before he can get there, he must get halfway there. Before he can get halfway there, he must get a quarter of the way there. Before traveling a quarter, he must travel one-eighth; before an eighth, one-sixteenth; and so on.

Since the distance to the bus is Finite, Homer can make it!

In some cases, yes, the series will remain bounded despite the fact that it is always increasing.

Consider a squirrel who is standing 10 feet from a pole. Every ten minutes, the squirrel moves halfway to the pole. The squirrel's distance from it's starting point is always increasing, yet it will never move past the pole.

For a more algebraic interpretation, consider the proof that s(n) = \sum_{i=0}^{n}(1/(2^{i})) is bounded.

Note that if r > 0, then you can do the following:

1 + r + r^2 + ... + r^{n-1} + r^n
= ((1 - r)/(1 - r)) (1 + r + r^2 + ... + r^{n-1} + r^n)
= (1/(1 - r)) ((1 - r)1 + (1 - r)r + (1 - r)r^2 + ... + (1 - r)r^{n-1} + (1 - r)r^n)
= (1/(1 - r)) ((1 - r) + (r - r^2) + (r^2 - r^3) + ... + (r^{n-1} - r^{n}) + (r^n - r^{n+1}))
= (1/(1 - r)) ((1 + -r) + (r + -r^2) + (r^2 + -r^3) + ... + (r^{n-1} + -r^n) + (r^n + -r^{n+1}))
= (1/(1 - r)) (1 + (-r + r) + (-r^2 + r^2) + (-r^3 + r^3) + ... + (-r^{n-1} + r^{n-1}) + (-r^n + r^n) + -r^{n+1})
= (1/(1 - r)) (1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ... + 0 + 0 + -r^{n+1})
= (1/(1 - r)) (1 - r^{n+1})
= (1 - r^{n+1})/(1 - r)

So \sum_{i=0}^{n}(r^i) = (1 - r^{n+1})/(1 - r)

In the special case of r = (1/2), we have:

\sum_{i=0}^{n}((1/2)^i)
= (1 - (1/2)^{n+1})/(1 - (1/2))
= (1 - (1/2)^{n+1})/(1/2)
= 2(1 - (1/2)^{n+1})
= 2 - 2(1/2)^{n+1}
= 2 - 2/(2^{n+1})
= 2 - 1/(2^{n})

So we have a closed form expression:

s(n) = \sum_{i=0}^{n}(1/(2^i))
= 2 - 1/(2^n)

The the squirrel will never pass the pole, this series will never rise above 2. And we can prove it without talking about infinity:

0 <= n
1 <= 2^n
0 < 1/(2^n) <= 1
-1/(2^n) < 0
s(n) = 2 - 1/(2^n) < 2

So c = 2 works.

1 <= 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 ...... is breaking a finite number into an infinite number of fractions, but since they are all fractions of a finite number, the answer too is Finite..
But yeah, you are probably right..
1 + 1/4 + 1/9 + 1/16 + 1/25 ... may well be similar

But notice the difference? the first example is explicitly bounded, while the second isn't..

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-27 23:30

the question is, Does the second set decrease fast enough to be bounded?
If we look at the squirrel, he might take steps of 90%, which drops quickly 90%, 9%, 1%, ... or he may take steps of 1%, but i'm unsure if you have such a situation....

Now that you mention it, there might be a geometric interpretation.

\sum_{i=1}^{n}(1/i^2) is the squared length of the n dimensional vector, (1, 1/2, 1/3, ..., 1/n).

So... it should be bounded at 2..?
1/2 -> 50%
0.4/1 -> 40%
0.111 / 0.6 -> 18%
well, it looks ok, but if the % ever starts increasing then it's probably a deal-breaker ..

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-27 23:59

Another proof might be, that if the sum of the series 1/n is bounded, then the sum of the series 1 / n^2 must be..? or no?

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-28 0:06

can 1/n^2 be bounded if 1/n isn't..?

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-28 0:07

>>54

Yes, that would work, via the comparison test. Because each term of 1/n^2 is less than or equal to the corresponding term of 1/n, and all terms are positive, if 1/n is bounded then 1/n^2 must also be bounded. But that isn't going to work because 1/n isn't bounded.

Shouldn't 1/n being unbounded imply 1/n^2 is also unbounded..? Perhaps not i guess, though it seems logical..

You can only do that if the operator is linear, so you can distribute across the terms, or factor it out from the sum.

So if sum(f(n)) converges to a, sum(c*f(n)) will converge to ca,

since c*f(1) + c*f(2) + c*f(3) + ... = c(f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + ...)

1 <= 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 ...... is breaking a finite number into an infinite number of fractions
Put it the other way around. An infinite series of fractions is going to be put together into a single finite number, which is the upper bound.

If 2 = Σ02-n, then Σ02-n = 2, obviously.

So yes, an infinite series can be equal to a finite number. Not all of them are, though. You should read a book on integral calculus.

It probably should still be an open problem, as to whether the series 1 / n^2 is truly bounded..? the remaining fractions are kind of unstable as far as i can tell, and i don't like it =) there's an entire infinity for things to go wrong....
I did test the first 3 Billion(!) terms (took a couple of minutes in octave), and it was still a fair way away from 2 though, and slowing..

This is more of a statement than a proof, but it's something:

>>103 ty, there are lots of proofs linked from there...

here is one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_test
But is it flawed ?! It says the series 1 / n is infinite, because the sum of the area under the curve is infinite (...which is okay, no disagreement yet..)
But then why would 1 / n^2 not be infinite, since there will always be a small positive value under the curve for any value of n....
Even 1 / 2^n should be infinite by the same token.... argh am i doing it wrong or is it broken?!

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-29 1:24

obviously you have to ignore the part of the graph where x < ~0.5 ? (to make it simple, doesn't need to be 0.5 exactly but should be 0 < x < 1).. but even in the 1 / 2^n case, if it stays positive and extends to infinity.... then that is very close to being infinite by my own definition... and then ugh, you know i'm not going to bother counting to infinity, simply by definition it is impossible...

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-29 1:34

The only reason i would believe 1/2^n is finite under that proof, is that i only just finished proving it otherwise ^^ but i guess my definition too may be faulty.. and probably is =)

Still, shouldn't it be enough to show that the 'finite boundary'(?) of 'series'(??) is an exponential... (didn't i show that already?)
Plus, wouldn't it be cooler (^^) if the series 1 / n^2 does sum to infinity ? =)

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-29 2:07

trips !!! ^^
alright, to show the finite boundary is exponential, pick an exponential, and add 0.0000000000000000000000001 (etc) once (to one term only), and it will exceed its boundary by that amount.... hmm what does that prove.. lol
what about adding to all values above some term n, some small amount? (this amount will also grow(? to some extent(?) in comparison..?) as the exponential accelerates past..?)

Name: Anonymous 2013-01-29 2:49

what else could you do...? try to sum an infinite number of infintismals? =/
maybe, to model the increase, add another finite system..? (ie another (smaller?) exponential...)
...but then, wont you end up adding an infinite number of extra systems...? and then ? can that even be finite..?

just had to check, it is addition hey =) i almost thought it was subtraction for a second, which would balance itself pretty nicely... but no, now i'm fairly convinced.. =D
