Theorem: I have infinite hair

Proof: I am finding my hair in all sorts of places not attached to my head, leading to the conclusion that I must be loosing hair. However, I do not seem to have any less hair on my head.

Disproof: the assumption that I can accurately estimate how much hair I have is erroneous. Additionally, as the number of atoms in the universe is (presumably) not infinite, my hair, being made up of atoms, cannot be either.

Counter-disproof: I can reuse atoms and produce more hair

Anti-counter-disproof: for this point to be valid I would have to live (or at least, keep growing hair) forever

After lengthy consideration I have concluded that neither infinity nor my hair exist

proof by contradiction: assume you have infinite hair. Then the hair must fill up all of space, smothering the entire universe and everything in it in an unimaginably dense mass of hair as every point in the vacuum is occupied by hair. The solar system is instantly destroyed, and the galaxy is frozen in an impenetrable mass of hair which immediately collapses into a black hole the size of the universe, swallowing everything.
We can see this is not the case, as even as I type this I continue to exist in a world spared of cosmic annihilation and death by hair black holes. Hence the assumption that you have infinite hair must have been false, as it is the only extra assumption we made

I fear you are presenting us with a false dilemma. There are many forms of infinity; hurricane-euler could have a single hair that goes on forever into the expanses of space, and that would be perfectly valid infinite hair, although someone just 100 meters away wouldn’t even notice they were standing so close to the Hair Of Infinity. 

Furthermore, if hurricane-euler were to grow hair forever, they would be infinitely approaching infinity, and by the law of 0.999… = 1, infinitely approaching infinity equals infinity. 

In short, you are just infinity seconds away from cosmic annihilation and death by hair black holes, or in the case of the single infinihair I mentioned earlier, infinite Rainbow Road for hair lice. 

While your theory is very interesting and brings light to this discussion, I would like to argue that a single ‘infinihair’ wouldn’t be paradise for hair lice at all, since hair lice tend to live on to the human scalp, where they have access to human blood, which they feed on.

If we’re talking about the different ways hair can be infinite, I would also bring up the possibility that I have infinitely many hairs that somehow manage to have a total volume less than that of my head. Like those shapes can have infinite perimeters but finite areas. Of course, this raises some questions about the thickness of individual hairs. For those, I have no answer.

This type of infinity would also get me out of the inevitable nightmare tangle that would be the infinihair. And the hair lice discussion. Though I’m quite certain my scalp is finite.

A hairy problem indeed.

I didn’t think anyone could possibly add anything to this to make me want to reblog it again and yet here we are
