Question

If numbers never start or never end where is midway?

Answer 1

\[\frac{\infty}{2}\]

Answer 2

But that is not a number

Answer 3

since you have an einstein pic...maybe you'll understand this metaphor "Which galaxy is the center of the universe?"

Answer 4

right here

Answer 5

That's is too easy to answer

Answer 6

I want to say 0. Since the number line extends equally in the + and - directions, the midpoint would have to be zero.

Answer 7

isn't 0 the mid way?
(-infinity+infinity)/2=0

Answer 8

yes we can say zero but where is clear proof

Answer 9

it is an Assumption

Answer 10

actually it's 42

Answer 11

now you are talking so the reason?

Answer 12

Come on guys?

Answer 13

0 is what we refer to as the origin so that we have a reference point with which to define the others by

Answer 14

that's like saying the Big Bang is the center of the universe...

Answer 15

So if reference point is 2, 4 will be seen as 2

Answer 16

any point can be used as the initial reference point, but for ease of communications, 0 is defined as the origin.

we define the equations we use by reference to its distance away from the origin by the use of h and k

Answer 17

Hmm, what about you guys what do you say

Answer 18

so yes, if you wish all points to be referenced from "2 away from the origin" ; then yes; 4 = (2+2)

Answer 19

leibnez would have loved to see the application of vector algebra :)

Answer 20

if we wish to define "2" as the origin; then for any given "x"; the resulting equation is: x-2

therefore when x=2; it referenced as "0"

Answer 21

Oh sorry for taking your time. If that is what I did

Answer 22

just playing along in the discussion :)

Answer 23

Yea, but what you said "kind off" makes sense

Answer 24

@Thabo everyone, myself especially, is being silly
the question does not have an answer because there is no "midway"

Answer 25

Well, let me rather tell you my answer to end this off. The measure of quantity starts from no measure to an increase in measure
