Welcome to the Page of Infinite Knowlege and Universal Enlightenment

I am a student at the Oregon Institute of Technology and very interested in Mathematics and Physics, specifically in Cosmology. I plan to double major in both Mathematics and Cosmology, but currently have a major of General Studies because OIT doesn't offer any degrees in mathematics or physics.

I am very interested in singularities, and much more information on them can be found here than I will ever be able to display on this page withing anything short of five to six years. Here's an image of a scalar field of a black hole, with the scalar field as the verticle axis, a function of time as the left axis, the distance from the singularity as the right axis, and the smoothness of space-time as the colored dimension, with blue being flat space-time and black being it's opposite.
One of the largest misconceptions is that black holes have infinite mass. The only way this could be true would be if singularities could exist within other singularities. The scenario is very unlikey, however it is possible. My personal belief is that black holes do not have infinite mass, just a seemingly infinite gravitational attraction near the horizon. Seemingly as in: we can't measure anything that strong, so we say it's infinity. My biggest arguments that black holes have a finite mass and therefore gravitational attractive force are:

If a black hole had infinte mass everything in the universe in within the black hole.
If F_g or m₁ were infinity in the equation F_g=Gm₁m₂/d², then everything would be accelerating toward the singularity at an infinite rate. This is shown by Isaac Newton's equation F=ma, and if F were infinity, and we know our mass is finite, then a would have to also be infinite.

Of course, the first argument is based solely on intuition, and I will help people refute it here. First of all, the universe supposedly began as a singularity, and if it still is, then the first argument goes down into one of these black holes. If the universe is a still a singluarity, then we are in a singluarity, and so the singularity can have infinite mass. The second one I have yet to be able to refute. A black hole with the mass of the earth would have a radius of 8.88mm!!

If you have an integral you would like to see done, then go to

One of the best mathematics web sites I have found is Wolfram's Mathematica page.
For those of you in higher mathematics, you might be interested in how to take a variable to some complex power, ie, x^a+bi. Well, if you are, the solution is.

Would any of you guys like to see an animated Lithium atom (³₃Li)? Well, if so, here it is:

I also have this very cool animated gif of the moon phases!!!

By the way, you MUST see the animated Mandelbrot image.

I added this one because I thought it showed something similar to the machine in Contact.
