Try again, you still don’t understand the concept.
In mathematical terms it’s perfectly acceptable to talk about the limit of an expression as some value tends towards infinity. E.g.:
limit (1/x) = 0 x→∞https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(mathematics)#Infinity_as_a_limit

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the closest you have ever been to actually dying?English
3·3 years agoNP. Yes ABS is designed to avoid exactly that issue, essentially by implementing in a mechanical way what drivers used to do manually - pumping the brakes etc.

2·3 years agoThey’re “brakes” and it’s “braking”. Yes, I know the previous commenter got it wrong as well.
The usual problem with slamming on the brakes is that it causes the wheels to lock up and slide instead of slowing the vehicle down.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Europeans, what is something that Americans have/do that makes no sense to you?English

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?English
4·3 years agoI can’t find any reference that says it’s moving away from us at twice the speed of light, which would violate Relativity. The fact that it is further away from us in light years than the age of the universe in years, is due to the fact that the space itself is expanding.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?English
33·3 years agoIt doesn’t. Gravity is caused by mass not spin. The planet’s rotation about it’s own axis will create a centrifugal effect that offsets gravity, but the effect is negligible for anything rotating as slow as planets.
