Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    How does one start at the "end" of an infinite sequence in order to work right to left??

    P.S. E.g., sqrt(2)^((sqrt(2))^(sqrt(2)) is approximately 1.76

    This demonstrates where I was wrong.

    P.P.S. And I had forgotten the right to left convention for evaluating exponents. Sorry...
    As had I. we all after 30 or 40 years of not working directly with a specific area of knowledge may forget a detail or two. The young ones who just finished their degrees or those with eidetic or near eidetic memories have little capacity to empathize however
    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
