Sort of a narrow minded view, huh?...or eh...for the Canadians amongst us.

Jeeze. I'm not sure I can help. Jeeze. Who knows why I posted that or who I was when I did. Other than stating that 'Opposite' is a mere convention of man. Jeeze. We get ourselves into all sorts of weird mindsets.

If there's not something on the "say something pinheded" thread that takes at least a sidelong glance at this, there should be.

I wonder how oldmanemu would respond?

One time there was a pinhed (I forget which one) who said "The most liberal people I've known were conservatives, and the most conservative people I've known were liberals."

But I don't know how far I can stretch that. How about "The lowest people I've know were high, and the highest people I've know were low?"

This approach is sure to break down, though. "The fattest people I've known were ..." No, that won't work. scratch

One is infinite, the other is infinitesimal.

You could say they are opposite sides of the same coin.

Zero is the inverse of infinity, and vice-inversa.

We could ask both oldmanemu and Gypsy Daisy.

I believe oldmanemu would back me up.

Gypsy Daisy would tell me I'm abusing the green smily.

So they are the same thing. Just depends on your perspective. Ones up ones down, right? Which one is which. And if they are interchangeable how are they opposite?

Wait, I don't buy that zero is the negative inverse of infinity. Zero is Zero. Neither positive or negative.

And it's one of the rare words spelled with a z. Give it up for the z.

Holla.
