So, you're calling this race, for binary?

Isn't that like calling the '73 Kentucky Derby for Secretariat?

just thought id bring up what i believe gravity is.
a mass pushing in space/time. I've also read somewhere the higher you are on the earth the slower time is. this has been done by syncing two stop watches. one at sea level and one up a mountain. i mean it was only a fraction of a second difference, but i think this proves Einstein's theory of gravity. http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/mod_tech/node60.html
Pretty cosmic I think! all this time/space space/time SHizzle.


OK now time for the ripping! lol you guys make me laugh ripping people.

People come to Q&A to ask questions and get or give answers out of mainstream space-science or astronomy.

Can you explain how your statement fits in?

This too would be harder to implement, but would certainly be denser than ternary. I think the technical ease of using binary makes it a winner.
I chose a bad expression. I meant that 3 is slightly closer to e than 2. A loge representation would be the natural unit of information/entropy in information theory.

Anyway, back on topic.
...wait, what was the topic? I'm lost.

Well yes. This thread has drifted off topic, and I am now as guilty as anyone of contributing to the overall hijacking. I think I'll close the thread and warn myself.
