  I don’t get it. Is “tree” some kind of notation?

    TREE is an extremely fast-growing function in set theory. TREE(1) equals 1, TREE(2) equals 3, and TREE(3) equals a number so large that its lower bound easily dwarfs Graham’s Number.

      its lower bound easily dwarfs Graham’s Number.

      Yo you don’t gotta throw shade on Grahams number like that, it’s doing its best

      Well, that escalated quickly.

    Yes, TREE(3) is larger than a googolplex or even graham’s number.

      Why do I always feel like I need a PhD to understand even the first paragraph of Wikipedia articles about math. Is that just me?

  Math meme … it’s a math meme!

    Is math related to science?

    source

    • Droechai@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I don’t think so, science deals with reality and math are just floating around

  man hes gone have to do a lot of walking again… Offtopic: The funny thing is tree(3) is an absurdly long distance, independent of the physical unit. Even TREE(3) times the planck length is unimaginable long, as the ratio between a meter and the planck length is absolutely neglectable against such super large numbers.

    So the only way it’s worth taking about it is in memes right? Right?

  Let’s say you have to move to the infinite room. How can someone check out of the hotel?

  source

  • wise_pancake@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    There is no infinity room, but there is an infinity pool

    source
  • Tai@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You can check out any time you like

    source

    • Sibshops@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The only issue is that if I have to travel to an infinite distance to the lobby, I’ll never check out.

    There is no infinite room though?? What?

    source
• woodenghost@hexbear.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Well, he should consider himself lucky, since he’s still in one of the early rooms. In fact, almost as good as the first one, since the amount of rooms with numbers smaller than 2×TREE(3) as a percentage of all the rooms, is zero. Almost every other guest has it worse.

  That’s my secret, I’m always moving.

  Just put a sign on the door telling everyone who comes there to go to the inverse wing. Or go set up in the inverse wing of the hotel yourself.

  Everyone in the place is moving right along the infinite axis… But there’s a whole empty wing of the hotel if you go left at the front desk.
