@bilalrasool1 Around an axis not axle. an axis is just some segment of a 2 dimensional line. It doesn't have to be or do anything. A lot of stable molecules meet this definition as they go through normal metabolic cycles.

@Hudson Hamman yes, but a Hula-hoop rolling on the ground would still count as a wheel in this definition because it is rotating around an axis.

@Hudson Hamman He starts the definition of what will be considered a door and wheel at 3:26

@Hudson Hamman Search for the definition of the word "axis" with an i, not axes.

@Hudson Hamman By the definition of this thought experiment it is a type of wheel.

@DeruwynArchmage The S1 symmetry of the Strong Force is shaped in such a fashion that trinary hadrons, including protons and neutrons, acts like a wheel and has a central axis. Your typical carbon atom is made up of 16 small wheels. Edit: This puts my estimation at 10^54 wheels on earth.

@Hudson Hamman In prior philosophical thought experiments that I have done, there are sometimes a set of strange conditions. I agree with you in general and my comments on wheels here is specifically as per his definition at around the four minute mark in the video. He defined "wheel" differently than the common use of the word and did the same with doors. That is also why some people are arguing that semiconductor gate channels are doors.

@Hudson Hamman I don't know, to me it seems like the valance electrons outside of the matrix are sliding back when the voltage is removed and are pushing back over the gap once the voltage is applied. This seems to act like a sliding door but at a very small level. I admit that I am using none of these ideas in the common sense use of the words.

@Hudson Hamman Why would it be useful to consider smaller gates or things that fit technical instead of common sense definitions? Because that is the whole point of a thought experiment, to push something to its logical extremes.

@Hudson Hamman I think he stated the purpose of his thought experiment somewhere near the beginning. The purpose was to try and guess within an order of magnitude, it was more a numbers estimation game. But then he himself threw in a logical loophole with his example of the rotating spiral appendage as an example of a wheel. As such, I believe that I am being true to the spirit of the argument. My guess is around 10^54 wheels and 10^28 gates.

@Hudson Hamman Yeah probably =D

By your definition all S1 symmetry particles, which includes all neutrons and protons, fit the definition of "wheel" in essence meaning all objects made of atoms are made of wheels.
