[IC FBGCav]

I listened to Neil degrasse tyson, the world is made of math, so I ask, is there a starting point other than 1? For anything?

I am not sure exactly what your question is asking, but it seems the answer is of course. If I am 13 miles from my destination, my starting point would be 13 and Woukd eventually get to zero. Starting points are relative to a certain reference. I would think zero is the typical starting point, not one.

Makes no sense.

Like "A" might be a different starting point.

See. The starting point is zero. QED.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I always try to start from the beginning.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Of course Star Wars started from.4.

0 is a fine starting point. As is "A". あ or ア could also work, if you're Japanese.

You can break 1 down close to zero forever, A is always A, it cant be changed, it is what it is.

Can you start by editing you title to "than"?

Only about half of NFL games start at 1. Some start at 4. Others at 8.

I wonder what the band Europe would say about this.

of course it does. We're all at zero now, if you say one, you have already begun. Just ask the Carpenters.

how many countdowns were there?

 

[scifijon]

Than

Then what?

 

[The General]

It's the loneliest number.

Zero is actually a relatively new concept. It was invented by some Indian dude. Wiki. . You don't actually have zero of something, you simply have nothing. Can't start with zero b/c there is nothing to start with.

Of course you can start with nothing.

Neil Tyson actually taught me in college, but he didn't teach me this: numbers are essentially magic, they are purely relational and defined solely by each other. So you can have a starting point of any number so long as you agree that no other number can be lesser than that so that you never essentially negate your intiation of whatever process you're starting. So 30.1 can be your starting number, so long as you never go to something less.

Really? Never saw a stat for how fast a car goes from 1 to 60.

Only about half of NFL games start at 1. Some start at 4. Others at 8.

And in Chicago the 1 o'clock games don't start at 1. I learned this the hard way.

 

[johnnycakes]

1.1 Brady, Tom

 

[dgreen]

THEN 1 indicates there is a starting point before 1. There is something and THEN there is 1.

 

[dgreen]

And why 1, anyway? Why not 0.99999999999999? That clearly comes before 1. There's a never-ending list of numbers between 0 and 1.

 

[matuski]

Then or than?

1x1=2, according to Terrence Howard, so, there's that.

No wonder it was so difficult for him to make the rent money.

That's why they didn't have cars back then.

My amp goes from 2 to 11.

 

[Koya]

1 is fairly arbitrary, depending upon how you look at it.

I'd think 0 is the start.

Or, maybe it's the middle.

Also, 2 can be as bad as one. It's the loneliest number*

*since the number one.

No, deal with it Polanski.

0:00*

on twelve hour time, it is 12:00AM which is the start of the day. In military time, it is 00:00.ETA: in Fat's time midnight must be 1:00.

Only about half of NFL games start at 1. Some start at 4. Others at 8.

And the starting point is the kickoff on the 35-yard line.

That is all so freaky. My mind is blown.
