From: Archimedes Plutonium on 26 Jul 2010 01:19 Alright, I have not really done much to further the science of probability theory. It really has not moved or budged much from French probability advances. We have the Fundamental Counting Principle as a exponental. A test with two choices (true false test) that has 3 questions would have 2x2x2 outcomes. With 4 questions would have 2x2x2x2. So the exponent in probability theory means "total possible outcomes." And we have the equation of 268! = 10^536 Is like saying that "all possible sequental arrangements" = "total possible outcomes" So tonight, let me try to see if I can expand Probability theory into a whole new ballgame, or should I say cardgame or dice game. Instead of combinations and permutations, let me try to get Probability theory into a geometrical foundation. Let us start with 268! = 10^536 and view that as "all possible sequental arrangements of 268 digit numbers" all containing digits from 0 to 9 inclusive (from the 10 in 10^536). And the number 10^536 now becomes the total number of these all possible sequental arrangements of 268 digit numbers. Let me give some examples to clear the mind. 0000..001 where there are exactly 268 digits in this number and we recognize it as 1 Then there is the number 1000..000 and the number 9999..999 and all of these numbers has exactly 268 digits. Now, how many numbers in total are there of these? Well if I am doing probability theory correctly, no guarantee, then there are exactly 10^536 of these sequences. Now this reminds me an awful lot about All Possible Digit Arrangements to build the AP-adics but I will not digress there, just point it out. Now, recently I derived the speed of light out of pure mathematics by noting strip geometry where we consider meridians as strips and how many of these strips depends on the width of the strip and that depends on the units you want to deal with. So if you want speed of light in kilometers than the width is 1 kilometer wide. And so we add up all the meridian strips and we divide by a time factor, begot from pseudosphere nested inside the sphere. So the speed of light is begot from geometry and is intrinsic to every sphere. What it means is the time a light wave travels the distance of the sphere of the up and down strips, travels the entire distance of all those strips in the amount of time determined by a pseudosphere inside that sphere. I bring up the speed of light because I suspect that probability theory can be turned into a geometry theory by akin pattern as the speed of light. Only instead of just the surface of the sphere and pseudosphere involved, we also have the volume of the sphere involved. So let us look at this equation of 268! = 10^536 and let us imagine that every point of a sphere of its volume is one of the points of 0000..000 0000..001 .. .. .. 9999..998 9999..999 where there are 10^536 such numbers all having exactly 268 digits, and only digits from 0 to 9 inclusive. Now those are a huge number of "sequental numbers" so huge that we can safely say that the volume of a sphere is 10^536 such points packed into the sphere. If we were inside the cosmos as a huge sphere, then the point at which we were in the Cosmos, corresponds to one of these numbers of this matrix: 0000..000 0000..001 .. .. .. 9999..998 9999..999 The number 10^536 would be the number if you were to compute the distance from one point to another and sum all these distances up, your distance would be 10^536, a unitless distance. So what have I got so far? I have that the number 268! are all the points inside a sphere that creates that sphere. Next, I have that the number 10^536 would be the summation of all the distances inside the sphere, if they were lined up, would create a line of 10^536 units long. So I have factorial creating a sphere with its interior and the exponent creating a distance if the line segments inside the sphere were summed. Let me give example of one such line segment from the two points of 000..001 and 000..008 would be a line whose length is 7. Now the point 0000..000 would be the center of the sphere and the point 0000..005 would be 5 units from the center. Now for small numbers the factorial is less than the exponential, and only after about 20! does the factorial exceed the exponental. This may limit where this geometrical probability theory takes affect. And a new theory is only as good as what practical use it provides. The practical use the above provides at the moment is that it tells us where multiplication is no longer needed or useful because we have a Space in which only numbers of 268 digits are of any sense. So that if one multiplies which gives an answer of greater than a number with 268 digits is going outside the fence of mathematics. I shall think some more about the above. We need to get away from probability theory as a number theory and need to inject geometry into Probability theory and that is what I have started this program, to make probability a geometry. Now I maybe able to turn the one number of 268! as all the points that compose a sphere and turn the number 10^536 as all the points that build a pseudosphere, whichever nests inside the other. Geometrical-Probability theory would be a whole new area of mathematics, and sort of mindboggling to say the least.
