Bullshit. You are ignoring all my counterexamples of civilisations that use other bases, like 8, 12, 20 or 60. And you are turning the causal link on its head: We do not have B (whatever B might be) fingers because B is most convenient, but base B is dominant because we have B fingers. If we had had 8 or 12 fingers/toes, the most convenient bases would be 8, 12, 16, and 24. Thereâs absolutely nothing magical about 10.
An assertion that you pull out of your arse does not prove shit. If this is your idea of a proof, then I can disprove god like this: I assert that god does not exist, which proves that she doesnât.

I am saying, they have no authority to demote a planet that clearly shows the characteristics of a planet.
If I could attach the files here, I would. Click the link, review the proof, then highlight whatever blemishes you spotted here and I will clear them for you. That is, If you are unafraid of The Truth.
Assertion made without any valid argumentation, what tells you that they are going to choose the base 10? There have been other numeral system in history.
Subjective statement.
Jumping to conclusions without evidences: âman uses base 10 numeral system, therefore he must have been created by an omnipotent beingâ. Thereâs no logical link between the two.
Even more jumping to conclusions: letâs just say, hypothetically and for the sake of the argument, that you are right and a god designed human beings, what tells you that this god is the christian one? There have been more than 4000 religions in the world and more are to come, but only your god is real?

I do not see âbase 10â as being âmost convenient.â
Define âconvenience.â
If a civilization depends upon computers, then base 2 would probably be most convienent.
If orcas, dolphins, and whales were running the show, then I would guessâbecause of certain philosophical argumentsâthat base 4 would be convienent.
Octopi seem like a near miss on the intelligence scale, so if they evolve and build a civilization, then I would assume that their number system would be predicated on base 8.
If anyone here disagrees with me, then please call me on this. Many of you guys have more education than I do in mathematics.

Numerology that aligns with the Word of God is The Truth. Mathematics is the fabric with which The Universe was fashion. The Proof in the link above demonstrates this.
I clearly stated âand when itâs all said and done, the civilizations will settle with the base 10 numeral systemâ. Now, tell me, what numeral system do they use now?
He indicated base 60, base 20, base 8, and so on.
Please re-review his prior posts.

Bullshit. First of all, there exists precisely ZERO evidence for the imaginary cartoon magic man from your favourite sad little Bronze Age mythology.
Second, the idea that a fantastically gifted magic entity played any part in the concoction of said farcical Bronze Age mythology, is cretinous bilge. Oh wait, the Bronze Age mythology in question contains within its pages, the excrementally palsied assertion that genetics is controlled by coloured sticks, a piece of garbage that was utterly destroyed by a 19th century monk, when he launched modern genetics as a properly constituted scientific discipline.
The wank fantasy youâre peddling here, that made up shit concocted to prop up this foetid mythology and its numerous banalities purportedly constitutes âtruthâ, is beneath deserving of a point of view.
Actual mathematicians tend not to share your simpleton view of the subject.
You donât have a âproofâ, you have made up shit with which youâre wanking your ego in public. Now get back in your crate.

Well, depends on what you use them for. For implementation in electronics, base 2 is the most convenient because the electronics design is much simpler, each bit requires less supporting electronics (giving us denser packing), and the electronics will use less power (with binary - on/off - most current is drawn while switching between states, but is very low when held static at 0 or 1.
For presentation, the most convenient base is the one that fits the application or the usage best and/or is most familiar to the user. For programming hardware close stuff, base 16 - and in some cases base 8 - are very convenient. Binary numbers are usually quite hard to read, because it only uses two symbols, and the number of digits quickly âexplodeâ as the magnitude increases. The only reason I can come up with that makes base 10 convenient is that it is the most familiar for most people.

You now assume the existence of the god you are trying to prove, and you are using the existence of this god as a premise. This is a begging the question fallacy.
That is a fallacy called Retrospective determinism. It is an informal fallacy that assumes that something happening is proof that it was bound to happen.
Still donât see anything of substance in what you are writing.

No thanks, if you canât post it here then offer citations for peer review, otherwise why would I care.
You mean like the Imperial system, which is what the US uses, and what the UK used until I was about 6 years old. You are funnyâŚNow how many inches in a foot, itâs not ten is it?
Humans were not designed, they evolved, and that is an objective fact, supported by overwhelming objective evidence.
What objective evidence can you demonstrate any deity exists, or is even possible? Mysticism like numerology wonât do it for me, nor will your hilarious random capital letters.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who understand binary code, and those who donât⌠

Thank you very much for clarifying this.
I was under the impression that there was something very specific about Base 2 (binary) that automatically lends itself to information storage and/or manipulation in computer technology. I didnât realize that there were other possibilities that were practical.
Thank you again.

Like I hinted at, it is possible to use other bases, but with current technology, binary is easier and more economical to implement. On the one side, with a base larger than 2, you can pack more information into each cell of information (âbitâ), but on the flip side it would require more components to control the different states and levels and to distinguish them from each other. Base 2 is particularly simple, as itâs just âonâ or âoffâ, and you in principle donât care much about the absolute levels as long as you are within tolerances.
Thereâs a short article on ternary (base 3) computers on Wikipedia: Ternary computer - Wikipedia
I also found a short discussion on Stack Overflow: computer science - Why binary and not ternary computing? - Stack Overflow
