0=1

If anyone is familiar with this Algebraic proof I suck at math and would like a laymans definition on how 1=2. It pisses me off, how can 1=2? This to my feeble math mind breaks the laws of everything. So now what is there to say 2+2 actually equals 4? Is math fake, seriously someone explain this to me.

a = x [a's and x's]
a+a = a+x [add a to both sides]
2a = a+x [a+a = 2a]
2a-2x = a+x-2x [subtract 2x from both sides]
2(a-x) = a+x-2x [2a-2x = 2(a-x)]
2(a-x) = a-x [x-2x = -x]
2 = 1 [divide both sides by a-x]

 

I know this is pretty absurd, is it not?? I mean, don't math buffs have ANYTHING BETTER to do with their time than cook up things like this??

I think the reason they do this is to make themselves look smart and others dumb, thus protecting themselves from discovery under the following famous observation:

Those who can, do
Those who can't, teach,
those who can't teach, teach teachers

Now, the breakdown of this algerbraic jibberish above is simply explained:

Assuming that A and X are the same number (say "2"), then you will see that on the last line:

this calls for dividing both sides by "a-x". As A and X are the same, "a-x" would always be ZERO.

If you divide andy number by ZERO, the result is an indefinately huge number "infinity".

So any number or quanity, when divided by ZERO, is infinity, and so the terms of the equation can then be said, in theory, to be "the same".

Hope this helps. It took me a little whiole to ferret out how that works, because the proof does follow the laws.

 

I thought anything diveded by zero was invalid (impossible), not infinite?

 

Yeah, that is basically true. In reality.

That is all that matters really. It is possible to explain "how" something divided by zero results in an infinitately large number, by looking at what happens when you divide a number by smaller and smaler amounts. the smaller the amount, the greater number of times it goes into the first number.

I know about this stuff, but I do not ever lose sight of REALITY either. There are more interesting things to find out asbout, believe me.

lol

 

Isn't there some song that says "only in love does 2=1" ?

 

I sure hope not. Jk

 

NO!! In the math department, they drilled into the undergrads that you can never divide by zero. True statements like "1/x approaches infinity as x apporaches 0", get misinterpreted and misreported, but you never divide by zero.

Infinity is not a number, so it can not be the answer to a calculation.

 

What does that mean. lol

Plus it doesn't have to be 0 it can be 1=2.
I thoguht it just proves how numberes really don't have a set value in reality, and its all relative.

 

lol...oh man, i'm crying.

 

The simple reason is that the equation is done wrong, that is why you get the wrong answer.

 

And so we see, there is no actual point or use to all this theory. The solution, of course, is to pop open a good beer and live life

 

2+2=5

 

Our jocular mocking of knowlege that we don't understand yet might explain the current political situation.

 

yes 1=0 because 0 is a perfect circle that never ends/infinite and so is the universe.. represented by the 1... so the universe is everything is 1.. which means its perfect, unending and cyclical represented by 0
1=0
one is perfect
1 = 0

 

Thats deep, man ...


That's why I never made it in college

 

So what about 1=2 though?

 

If A=B then A+1=B+1. 0+1=1. 1+1=2.

QED

 

a+a=2a

thats where it screws up. a+a might EQUAL 2a, but it dosent act like 2a. 2a is multiplication. you cant just switch the two around like that.

 

Yes, you can. That's what "=" means.

 

OH MY GOD... THIS MUST MEAN THAT THERE IS NO GOD

NO LOL REALLY

You can't divide by zero
explanation
if a=x than a-x=O
so if you replace the a-x with 0 in your equation you get
2(a-x)=a-x you get
2*0=0
and dividing by zero is undifined you cannot get the answer
thank you thank you
