Thanks for saving me the trouble.

What is the difference between a thread started by a troll and a thread started in order to troll?
 
It's hard to discuss the difference between two abstract, math-sounding concepts not representative of anything in mathematics.
 
Infinity has 8 letters, while smallest number closest to zero has 31.
 
While I laughed a little about the practical joke at Ballou's expense, the one thing you have to hand to Ballou is that he is in fact a big, big man. . . . not just in size, but in spirit and common sense.

Sometimes it takes a really really stupid joke to demonstrate a profound truth.

The difference between infinity and the smallest number closest to zero is very simply expressed . . . . .

either is the inverse of the other.

the smallest number closest to zero is one over infinity; infinity is the largest number. . . . .

neither number is definable except in terms of limits. Infinity is 1/0 in some applications, but practically speaking with the use of limits you replace 0 with the smallest number you can write, the number closer to zero than any other number you've written, yet.

In practical terms, the answer to this riddle is understandable to the ordinary intellect as the difference between one of my endless rants, and a pic of the biggest poop that ever landed in a toilet bowl.

my endless rants come close to saying nothing, and the pic of the poop can simply say it all.

the difference is :
..... infinite minus infinitesimal.
..... impossibly large minus impossibly small
..... Infinity minus (1/Infinity)

This.

And besides, smallest # closest to zero would obviously be his genitals, not his brain. Duh.
 
We don't have a word to explain the concept of "the smallest number closest to zero" while infinity is a word for a concept that we mostly all understand. So that's the difference.

Now we just need a word for "the smallest number closet to zero" - we pretty much all probably understand the concept, let's just find a word for it.

Seriously, I think maybe that needs to be added to the list of stupid pet peeves.





How about inversininty? (ie, inverse of infinity)
 
Inversinininity.

An infinitesimal or a limit.
