I love Binary

In order to commemorate me reaching 2^10 posts, I will proclaim my love of all things binary.

Because of binary, I now have an obsession with binary numbers such as 128, 256, 512, and 1024. I can effectively count upto 1024 with my ten fingers, and hexadecimal comes easily to me as I understand how to convert binary into hex. Hell, same goes with Octal.

So I hereby share my love of binary to you all. Make of it what you will, but binary is by far the most interesting of all numerical systems.

I prefer the decimal system, seriously. Hexadecimal if it is web design. Though I can only count up to three.

Decimal for maths, binary for everything else. Seriously, I think this borders on OCD or something...

You know the only number that is the same on every system? Zero.

I'm obsessed with 0. Exists only in theory: you can't find 0 in reality.

It went from I love binary, to gay chat, in merely 5 replies.:lol:

0 is indeed awesome. Just like infinity. Both only exist in theory.

Using binary is very useful when counting things on your fingers, it's very compact and if you exclude the use of your thumbs (use them as sign bits) you have a full byte to use.

1 is the same in all systems also.

But not in potential non-whole systems (if those are every possible).

But in existing numerical systems, 0 & 1 are always present. So that makes binary like the base numerical system. Even more awesomeness. :D

Err, neutron, anyone? That has quantifiably zero charge.

Neutrons are made of an up quark, with charge +2/3, and two down quarks with charges of -1/3. I don't think it really qualifies as a true charge of zero. :P

Depends on how far you want to go. The quarks that make up the humble neutron all have positive or negative fractional charges, which only balance themselves out as a whole. Just a thought... :P

Ok, I gave a silly example. Neutrino, then.

Has mass and interacts via the weak nuclear force. Also exists in three different flavours, electron, muon, and tau. No electric charge though, but does have an antimatter counterpart. So, on the point of charge, yes...

Understanding quantum physics is bliss. I don't feel ignorant in these convos anymore xD

In fact, the neutrino isn't even observed: scientists just assume it's there because of the mass and energy conservation principle. If something explodes and you can only see particles flying left, there must be something flying to the right.

Actually, the neutrino can be observed (and has been)... it is just really really hard to do so. You need very sensitive equipment in order to do so (and also negate any other potential radiation sources).
