Perspective Projection Transformation Matrix

Is this some new AW feature ?

Whereby if you stare at a complex build it becomes an optical delusion and
disappears as a figament of your deranged imagination.

How about adding it to NG, maybe we can make certain posts/threads disappear
too

It's a 3D graphics term.

Like all the nonexistant people in the infinate universe?

"in an infinite universe everything is possible" oh really ? so that would
mean that also some where in this infinite universe the opposite is also
correct * in an infinite universe nothing is possible *, isnt that a little
contradictory or something ?

lots of love and kisses

More alone the lines of in a finate universe nothing is possible. :)

already thought of that, although also an opposite(depending on how you
would define opposites when multiple terms exist, linguistically or
logically), it doesnt really fit the point.

but i still claim that it's self contradictory to claim that "in an infinite
universe everything is possible"

;)

Maybe a better one would be "in a finate universe, not everything is
possible."

Not really :) if it's infinte.. there's an infinite possibility of what can
happen. Thus making everything possible. But that's just semantics and
theories.. we don't know if our universe is finate or infinate.

yeah man that one would be safe to say, but then again that would depend on
how you perveive the universe, infinate or finate ;)

Well that's another paradox. No space can be truely infinite. In order to
measure distance it'd need to be some finate size.. if it's increasing in
size it's finite. LoL... But if it's expanding infinately .. well then that
would imply it's never the same size at any point in time.. and since no
point in time is ever the same, the universe would thus be infinite. What a
brain teaser that is. I'd say it's infinte by our standards, but who knows
what it'll be. Just like objects traveling at the speed of light.. they
gain near infinite mass before they achieve it (so I heard) then when they
do hit the speed of light, they go to no mass until they stop moving.

hmmmm thats not how i see it re the speed of lite
once they hit the speed of lite they would be an infinite mass, n from what
i have read m sure that when something reaches infinite mass, something like
a black whole forms ?

"I'd say it's infinte by our standards" hmmm not so sure infinate is defined
by any standard ;)

"No space can be truely infinite. In order to measure distance it'd need to
be some finate size.. " - thats exactly the point, being infinate means that
it cant be measured, it never ends, so would be immeasurable. One other
point tho, i dont think its just physical size that the quote refers to.(now
that one is a brain teaser to explain)

"and since no point in time is ever the same" - not sure we can claim that
as a known, along with most of our other supposed "knowledge". Kant had
this all written in some real BIG sentances, was a nightmare to understand
the guy, but have a read, he explains it at some point in his "Critique of
Pure Reason" if i remember rightly, something like a chapter called "Time &
Space", wait m gonng go check for you.

got it

its in "The Critique of Pure Reason", its in section 1 called
"Transcendental Doctrine of Elements" and there are to subsections , one
called "Time" and one called "Space", if you read on quite a bit there is
more on the 2 subjects, but u would have to b a total sadist to read it for
too long.

damn that was a mission, had to dig thru a pile of books, hehe they aint
been moved since i graduated, i reall should clean this place up, 2 years
lmfao, m surprised the dust hadnt stuck it down to the floor !!!

No, that's a singularity. Photons are moving that the speed of light
constantly (they have no mass).. so that wouldn't happen. It might, but a
lot of things move at the speed of light :). So I'd say it's doubtful.

I meant by what our minds can think.. it may be like a spherical object of
some sort. Like you hit the end of one side you move back to the other.

Actually I was referring to it's size.. what else do you want it to include?
:)

Actually, time is never ever in the same position.. it's always changing,
that's a fact. :) It's just realitive to us since we measure it on
geological standards. But you can measure to the smallest amount you could
think of like .0000000000000000000001 of a second.. there'll still be
something smaller :). Thus making time never in the same position (it
constantly changes).

LoL guess it holds true here too, Entropy, our universe procedes from an
organized state to an unorganized state. :)

Just so I understand, *where* did you see "in an infinite universe everything is possible" in his post ? It seems like you're answering to him saying that but he didn't... or am I misunderstanding what you meant?

As for everything being possible in an infinite universe, I agree to that.... monkeys and typewriters... :)
