Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
And to answer the question. Opposite my clock is my bed.

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
Ok, so my logic was flawed and full of holes. I'm not Vulcan, but I'll give it another try...
You are trying to find out what is the 'opposite' of a clock, and by definition the 'opposite' of a clock cannot itself be a clock.
Well, I am not a clock, and therefore must be it's opposite!
So the answer to the question "What is the opposite of a clock?" is Me!

Re: Fyron\'s 5000th Post
If you apply set notation and treat opposite as complement, then the opposite of a clock would be the set of (all objects union all non-objects) which are not in the set of (all clocks).

David:
I am not trying to find the opposite of a clock because such a thing does not exist. I was saying that most everything that exists in reality has no opposite. The clock was just one example.

How did discrete mathematics wind up in this? It doesn't apply! We were talking about a clock, not a set that contains a clock. A clock is not a set, so set notation can not be applied to a clock itself.
