READ!!!
The marines have flamethrowers and fuel to last 900 octillion years, after that its handguns and boots.
The fight takes place on an infinite flat field, obviously not in this universe so no black holes and shit. The marines start in 1 group and the ants come from all directions (by foot) untill 1 team is 100% dead.
No death by hunger, dehydration, old age or disease but the marines still need sleep. No reproduction either.
Which team would win and why?
>No death by hunger, disease, dehydration, or old age
Does this apply to the ants as well? If so, why are they attacking if not for hunger?
So you're also altering the mindset of the ants and giving them a desire to kill? So what is their level of intelligence now, and how aggressive are they attacking?
there can be no directions to come from in a universe completely filled by a googolplex of marines
It would be a much more logical question if it said "army of ants equal to Avogadro's number". Graham's number is insane.
No one has yet addressed the air pollution and oxygen deprivation the marines would experience when burning flamethrowers. They'd surely be poisoned by the discharge of their own weapons
alternate universe, nigger
this means that universe has space to host both of a googolplex of marines and an amount of ants equal to graham's number
and btw ants win if they are fire ants or any ants that bite.
Marines must form a circular block with continuous flame thrower. If they splis, they are toast as each individual has dead angles where ants can reach and go under their suit to eat them
Sticking together is the best strategy. Inside the circle, exhausted marines can rest, sleep and refill their flamethrower
Ants will be afraid to walk on the hot ground so they'll just walk around waiting for the marines to run out of fuel (just common sense)
After 900 octillion years (OP said ants won't starve to death), marines will run out of fuel and ants can finally cross the vanished fire barrier
Guns and boots won't stop them
Ants win
A Grahams number of anything will instantly create a black hole which wins any battle
Sorry murica, you lose again
learn to fucking read.
no clue what a graham or a googolplex is, but the marines would live longer as there is no reproduction and ants have a much shorter life span
you can think of this as a super accurate computer simulation where the ants are just programmed to attack and ignore everything else, after all if they started building hives the battle would never end as the marines would never find all the ants.
