| Question For A Mathematician by kambo(op): 12:27am On Jan 25, 2011 |
i'm not a mathematician. but i'd like to be put right about this mathematical case. case: 1 = 2!! mathematical proof. let there b 2 whole numbers,i.e integers. b,c and a denominator, d.d is greater than 0 and is an integer,ie.whole number. b/d = 1 (if d = b) b/d < 1 (if d >b) b/d approaches zero , as d gets larger and larger than b. so b/inf =0 (inf is infinity) if this is accepted, then b = inf*0. [i.e infinity times zero ] therefore the definition of any number is infinity *0. if b = 1 ,b = infinity * 0 if b = 2 b = infinity * 0 so if b = infinity * 0 and b+1 = infinity * 0 then b = b+1 !!! (if infinity is a fixed quantity) if infinity is a fixed quantity ,then inf/inf = 1. then inf * 0 = inf * 0 = b = b+1!! but if infinity is not a fixed quantity, then infinity itself will not be equal to infinity, say inf1,inf2 ,are 2 infinite quantities,then inf1 = inf2 (wrong!!) |
