Thank you, Alex, for exposing the flaw in these Q&A sessions—where a manipulative religious figure (or masked as something else having the same agenda) claims that not everything can be answered, even by the purest form of science: mathematics. They present these kinds of arguments to audiences who, frankly, often lack the necessary background to critically assess what's being said. As a result, people are more likely to accept whatever narrative the speaker offers next.
I really admire the way you approach math, physics, biology, and chemistry—not just to learn, but to push back against this kind of intellectual manipulation and highlight the absurdity of their claims.
It’s disheartening that we once believed AI could be a force for good—only to see it being shaped and policed by the same institutions that have long suppressed critical thought to serve their own agendas. How can we trust AI to enlighten, when it's echoing the same outdated narratives?
We live in a world where even some medical doctors and biologists still believe in a god. That alone shows how deeply rooted and successful this conservative, religion-based system has been. And now, AI is just amplifying the same ideas—only on a larger scale.

Your hands don’t need to touch. They just need to come close enough to experience electromagnetic repulsion. Technically we can’t touch anything at the atomic level. Making the maths still workout.

Alright, forgive me because I am a math brain person. The equation that represents the movement of the hand clap is NOT represented by a division problem, it’s represented by a subtraction problem. You can’t represent a physical action with the wrong mathematical equation and then say it’s illogical. Just because the numbers produced by the subtraction equation sometime line up with distances that would be produced by division, doesn’t mean that it can also be represented by a division equation. Original distance between his hands – distance traveled closer = new distance between his hands. Subtraction allows the equation to go to 0 (hands touch); however division does not because the only number divided by 2 that would equal 0 is 0, however you can’t get the numerator to be zero by continuously dividing by 2. The distances get smaller and smaller because you’re halving smaller numerators each time. The length you need to close the gap between the hands will never be satisfied because the amount you move your hands becomes infinitely smaller each time you divide.

Clapping is pretty simple..tell that to those who don’t have hands.. next you should ask how to lick my balls without balls

I'd say there's only 1 halfway point, since that's a consensus defined on the first observation.
You only define the halfway point when you try to perceive it. During the motion, there's no halfway points.

In practice the number is still infinite, clapping doesn't mean you've reached x, you've just reached the point at which sound is produced.

@BrysePariseau-c6y

I dont know why gpt didnt just explain the answer to this paradox. Although the halfs never reach zero, the sum of 1/2x as x reaches inifity is 1. Although X reaches no limit, it does not change the fact that an infinite number of halfs would fundamentally require it to equal 1. Therefore, two objects reaching each other does have an infinite number of halves, but distance and time is finite so it will touch regardless because the distance will equal a whole.

I'm late, but this halving the distance for clapping technically doesn't matter and you would indeed eventually clap even at the atomic level since the atoms of 2 objects never actually touch. So all you'd need to do is half the distance until the distance between the atoms in each hand is within the distance where they would be repulsed by each other. Taadaa, you've clapped!
@HollywoodCod
September 21, 2025 at 10:45 pm
You’re asking about fractions of a distance, when the distance is 0 (hands touching) there is no fraction. Any distance above 0 would account for a fraction. If you brought your hands together at a perfect mathematical half every time then your hands would never touch because it would keep halving a decimal and the number would never decrease to zero
@HollywoodCod
September 21, 2025 at 10:45 pm
You could have an infinite amount of fractions but the distance is relative

Luckily the universe won't end by clapping. It will end however if Alex were to talk like this to Jordan Peterson.
@ApacheGamingUK

The paradox doesn't apply in this case. The point of clapping is not to ensure that your hands come to a perfect rest, just touching the surface. The distance is counted from the muscles within the hands. And a long time before the infinite regress of halflife of the muscles in the back of one hand, and the back of the other, the front of your hands will connect. You're trying to push each hand through the other hand, and your body gets in the way.

In other news on World News Tonight, AI has claimed its first human life. London resident and Youtube personality Alex O'Connor has been the first human ever murdered by ChatGPT. While being led away, ChatGPT was heard raving "He just wouldn't stop! I tried to be reasonable but he just wouldn't stop! It was me or him I tell you!"
