A tricky question
Suppose there is a cup filled with cold, icy water on September 17th.
Among trillions of water molecules, I pick one which is nearby the surface and name it A.
By breaking the bonds attached to it, 'A' will anyhow evaporate from the original group.
Then the story begins.
A is now one of the molecules that comprise a cloud and the cloud starts to rain on the Pacific Ocean.
A becomes a part of sea and moves to the North Pole by riding on an ocean current.
Then, A, together with other water molecules, freezes and becomes one constituent of ice.
An Eskimo builds his igloo (not egloo) and the ice he uses contains the water molecule A.
Few months later, because of worsening air pollution, global warming is highly accelerated and greenhouse effect becomes ferocious more than ever.
Therefore, the igloo, which is composed of ice, would melt to a certain extent and A is also liberated from the ice wall and flies in to the air.
Once again as a part of cloud, A drifts all over the world and finally arrives in Korea.
Low pressure develops in 강원도 and the rain starts to pour down.
Then, A permeates through the ground and confronts a stream of underground water.
While flowing in the stream, a large amount of water is sucked by a pump and it travels through the pipelines of KMLA.
Then the water is filtered several times and is so purified as to be drinkable.
On December 17th, I fill my glass with water and once again encounter A.
Can somebody give me the possibility of this story to happen in reality?
I believe this kind of story can happen at least once in my lifetime, but I wonder how strong the possibility would be.
This kind of weird question has been posed to me since I was 12 or 13 years old, but I still cannot dare to come up with an answer.
I just can guess the answer would converge on near zero, but I can't really get the exact value.
Please give me THE ANSWER. I'm thirsty for it.

이쯤 되면, 인간의 능력으로는 물론 모르긴 하지만, 미래 세계의 가장 발달한 초고감도의 감지기를 사용하여도 그 입자를 검출하는 일은 불가능할 것이다. 그러나 논리적으로 따진다면 지구상의 바닷물의 양이 아무리 많다 하더라도 결국은 유한하다. 그러므로 어느 바다에서 1cc의 바닷물을 건진다 하여도, 그 속에는 아주 미량이기는 하지만 그 잉크의 입자가 섞여 있음이 틀림없다.
요컨대, 지구 전체에 퍼져서 희석될대로 희석된 잉크일지라도 그런 대로 무한소의 "존재"를 주장할 수 있다는 이야기다. 이 "희석화"의 극한값은 물론 0이지만, 확산 작업을 전 우주에까지 넓힌다 하여도 극한값 0에는 도달할 수가 없다. 즉 극한값을 셈할 수는 있어도 현실적으로는 그러한 상태가 우주 상에 나타나지는 않는다.
그냥 물이나 마셔 의문따위품지말고 즐겁게 아하하
이건 너가 1주일에 10장씩 복권을 산다 치고 그 복권들이 10년동안 줄줄이 1~10등 당첨 되는거와 다를께없어ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
역시 니겅덩이!
_MONKEY > 짱인데 ㅋㅋ
0 %!
만약너가 무한소의 값을 구한다면
굳쟙!
뿐만아니라 답도알게될꺼야 ㅋㅋ
