It means you have a chance of living forever that asymptotically approaches, but does not reach, zero.

It means you have a chance of living forever that asymptotically approaches, but does not reach, zero.
- goatlover 8y agoAssuming you can survive the heat death of the universe, and other events not so friendly to biology prior to that point. It just sounds dumb because it doesn't take into account any physical limitations that would make the curve reach zero.
- frgtpsswrdlame 8y agoIsn't that just Zeno's paradox rephrased for aging? If I shoot this arrow it will asymptotically approach but never actually reach you.
- theoh 8y agoNo, in the case of Zeno, we all agree that the arrow would impact at time t, we just argue that you can take tiny timesteps so you never get there. But after time t, the target has definitely been hit.
