ideas to a new world

    hello and welcome to a presentation of my ideas

    1). i think that if you sit on a chair and lift your feet of the ground and you are strong enough to lift yourself and the chair you should be able to fly.

    2).no seriously now on to different matters.Well were should i start, first of all i will start with the meaning of chance. Chance is the possibility, the 50-50 chance that anything can happen til it actually does for instance if you flick up a coin there is a 50-50 chance that it could be heads or tails til it lands.

    3).you know the way some people are happy and some people arent. well usually happy people are good and sad are bad and lets say that green is good and red is bad. lets also say that there is a group of greens with one red person in the group in time the group of greens will turn red or if the group is red and the singular is green the group will turn red. this may sound stupid to some people and confusing to others but trust me its true.

    i love you all

    Apparently a coin is slightly more likely to land on its 'heads' side, as that side is usually heavier.

    to land with the heads side down that is . Only 4950 times out of a thousand will a coin land on heads ( facing up )

    no, the probabiliy of head landing is 0.50 and probability of tail landing is 0.5 = 1.00 !

    I'm sure there's some profound meaning to all that, but I'm too tired to try and comprehend it :dunno:

    1) What? Jump with the chair?

    2) I've often said that. 50-50 change - it will or it won't happen. But then I studied probability in college and realised that other factors can sway the outcome.

    3) I agree. If a happy person is surrounded by unhappy people, they will probably become unhappy too. For the "group of greens with one red" theory - I would say the one red ends up be excluded before it can bring the rest of them down. Generally though, there can be those who are a mix of red and green and can be sent either way depending on the strength of either colour.

    Just because the outcome is binary does not mean the probabilities are a 50-50 split.

    Cranky little bugger, aren't we? Besides, somehow I doubt you're stronger than the pull of gravity, which is that little stumbling block in that ingenious plan of yours

    1) Well you could just put your hands on the side of the chair and lift your ass off it, and then you could just kind of jump and then you'd be lifting you chair off the ground. ;)


    2)Well maybe the amount of metal on one side could differ the landing... like maybe the head on the coin uses more metal


    3)That like one bad apple can change the others. And I guess it's easier to change a happy person to an unhappy person than it is to change an unhappy person to a happy person. Maybe it's harder to change an unhappy person because it's harder a state of mind to change from.
