+ | |||
+ | **Slow Club** is the formal organization of experts in informal logic and pedantry. Founded by [[J. N. Spoilsport]], the organization is focused on minute details of arguments, on the analysis of irrelevant concepts and on perfecting the public's understanding of whatever. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slow Club is in the habit of providing commentary to the media on all sorts of matters. | ||

+ | ===== Known conjectures ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The difference between identical objects**\\ | ||
+ | According to Slow Club scholars, a pair of identical objects is conceptually impossible because it is always possible to find a parameter that will differ. For instance, a pair of otherwise identical objects will have different coordinates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The perpetual motion machine paradox**\\ | ||
+ | A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical machine that can do work indefinitely without an energy source. Slow Club argues that the impossibility of a perpetual motion machine is unproven, since for all we know the Universe might be a closed system which runs indefinitely. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **2+2=4**\\ | ||
+ | J. N. Spoilsport claims that algebraic knowledge is irrelevant in the macro world, because there are no identical objects (see first conjecture in this section). Therefore, one apple + another apple are not two apples, but rather the first and the second apple together. |
