And you have no idea how many 1 marine with a flamethrower could kill
!!!FUCKING READ THIS FIRST!!!
A googolplex marines could kill a googolplex ants a second for a googolplex years and it still wouldn't be anywhere close to killing the fucking ants. that wouldn't even be close to killing a very small fraction of the ants.
a more interesting question is: how long would you last against 5 year old children that have been brainwashed to feel no fear, pain, mercy, pity, remorse, and that have been trained since birth to be assassins - but have NO WEAPONS, and all you have received is one day's worth of hand to hand combat training. The children come at you 1 every 20 seconds. You don't have weapons - but you can use the floor, the walls and the children (the ones you have already dispatched in theory) against your attackers.
I think I would last about 1hr. Eventually my arms/legs would tire and it would just take about 2 kids at the same time to kill me.
If we presume each ant is the volume of Planck's length cubed (the smallest possible discrete unit of volume, hilariously smaller than even the smallest of subatomic particles) and you take Graham's number of ants, the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE is NOT ENOUGH to contain them.
To put it into perspective:
The horde of ants are a few googolplex times larger than a sphere with a diameter of 93 BILLION light-years.
The two sides are not fighting on a flat plane. They are in a universe of ants, packed denser than degenerate neutron matter, with mass concentration greater than the singularity at the heart of the supermassive black holes contained at the center of our galaxy.
The flamethrowers of the marines will not even work, because the space- and time dilation between the fuel tank and the nozzle means it takes trillions of years for the fuel to travel the length of the weapon.
An hour = 180 children at once
How the fuck would you even survive an hour if you only take out 2 of them?
i don't think you can have planck length cubed because there'd have to be things that made up that cube and each point of the cube would be too small to exist.
who said anything about 180 children at once. I am saying I could kill children in under 20 seconds for 1hr but by then would be so tired, I would fail to do so, and therefore a second simultaneous child would come at me at which point I would be overwhelmed and killed.
>I am saying I could kill children in under 20 seconds for 1hr
1 hour is a really long time to fight. You don't realize it untill your in the middle of real fight but that is extremely tiring. A UFC fighter throwing 1 punch every 20 seconds could maybe last 40 minutes. Longest i ever fought was 20 minutes and i threw up afterward from physical exhaustion.
if you're going to kill all those children, you better be planning to eat them. waste not, want not.
Can any user explain graham's number?
