answered problem about dividing by zero in comment below by dcodcodco :)

but that's the point, you can.

2/0

practical example :

there are two things, which have to be divided between zero people, how many things does each person get? zero.

mathematical example :

2/0 = ∞

∞ + ∞ = ∞

∞ - ∞ = ∞

∞ x ∞ = ∞

∞ / ∞ = ∞

therefore ∞ = 0

2/0 = 0

and by using the same formula as shows that 1 + 1 = 3, you can prove that 0 = 1

ie :

a = b

ab = b ²

ab − a ² = b ² − a ²

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

a = b + a

a + 1 = b + a + 1

a + 1 = 2a + 1

0 + 1 = 0 + 1

0 + 0 = 2

therefore 0 = 1

and we've come full circle

If

1 + 0 = 1

1 - 0 = 1 and 1 x 0 = 0

then why doesn't

1 / 0 = 0?

Ok, I see what you mean, but I have a question,

could X not be zero or infinity?

there's a giant conspiracy here somewhere .

I live in Australia, so looks like another assumption there.

funny how science makes so many of those.

if the sky is a dome, with a super hd projection of the sky, then Mars is just a projection, and it can be made any shape they like.

where does all the information for Mars come from? The Man.

NASA, ESA, Soviet space programme.

Can we, in a practical sense, send a probe to Mars? no, it is prohibitively expensive.

So we have to take on faith that the evidence they provide is true.

Kind of like Joseph Smith, saying that God spoke to him, in a bag, through magic gold plates, that no one else can see, and you have to take it on faith that it is the way he says it is, because he holds the only proof.

you have to accept that Mars exists, and is as is shown in the photographs, because they are the only ones taking the photographs.

at this time, it is non-falsifiable to us, therefore not science.

yes, you may argue, that it is only a technological problem, and eventually, we will be able to all go to space, and pass by Mars and be like, look there it is, up yours flat earthers, but until that is the case, you cannot personally prove the point, like I said, you cannot personally prove, using only the angles, that the earth is round, because if using another (accepted mathematical) system, it shows that it is flat.

If there is no way for a theory to disprove itself, it must be disregarded.

Moreover, to avoid any, 'your theory can't be disproven either' arguements, I am not trying to prove that the earth is flat, I am trying to show that the evidence I have provided, which is claimed as proof of the flat earth, is based on nothing more than a self-proving hypothesis.

if the facts disprove the theory, change the facts to suit the theory, right?

therefore, 1 + 1 = 2 but it also can equal 3, 0, 1, infinity, or whatever you want it to be, and you can prove that it does.

the theory has proven to be unfalsifiable, as in you can get whatever result you want, therefore must be rejected.

Ergo, the entire basis of proving that anything exists is based on the incorrect assumption that things do actually exist.

Therefore, prove that anything exists, before you try to prove that the earth is round.

What empirical evidence do you have that reality is in fact real?

Let's get all meta up in here.

just because people have always been deceived, doesn't mean it is true.

http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-tradition.html

if everyone believed that the sky was green, someone pointing out it was actually blue would be evidence. just because people have believed something for a very long time does not make it true

or are you asking this just because you heard Elon Musk ask it two days ago?

http://nationalpost.com/news/world/why-is-there-no-flat-mars-society

interesting all this anti-FE stuff is coming out harder and harder, the more and more evidence that is shown.

They fight the hardest when they are against a wall.

I am not a Mormon, no.

Can you send a probe to Mars? Prob not.

Do you know anyone who can? I highly doubt it.

Do you know anyone, other than the government run science institutions, who can launch a probe to mars? not that I have heard of. Yes Elon says he can, but can he right now? no.

so no one, except The Man, can send a probe to Mars, to find out, directly, that it is actually a thing, right? right.

all we can do is look at it through a telescope.

So, if the sky were a massive HD display, you could see images in your telescope or whatnot fine and dandy, like you can look at a tv through a telescope.

And then, beyond that, what about this bombshell (stand back) :

if astronomers looked into the sky, with their high powered telescopes, and discovered that, in fact it WAS a screen, or if someone went up there, and showed that it WAS a dome, then, boom their whole industry collapses, because for over 100 years, you all didn't know you were looking at a screen?

and then, it's a domino effect from there, telescope businesses go under, because no one needs them anymore, and then it's Chinatown, and you put your hand into a pile of goo that used to be your best friends face, then you'll know what to do.

As for JS, I am saying he said,

"yeah I can see the magic plates, oh yes, indeedy, the magic plates, they certainly are in this hat, believe me you, and I can read them, and this is what they say... wait, what's that about special underwear?"

and so on.

( no offence to the Church of Latter Day Saints, believe whatever you believe, peace )

and that is EXACTLY like The Man sending a probe to Mars, and then saying :

"Chekkit dawg, photos from Mars, legit"

and accepting that, without question.

What other proof do you have that Mars exists?

I'm going to crack this whole thing so wide open they'll have to call it Marsgate.

*get it? open? cause it's a gate?"

yeah, you get it.

circumnavigation is entirely consistent with the flat earth model

Why is this not possible?

one plus one equals three

a = b

ab = b2

ab − a2 = b2 − a2

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

a = b + a

a + 1 = b + a + 1

a + 1 = 2a + 1

1 + 1 = 2 + 1

1 + 1 = 3

divide by zero

1/0 = ∞

∞ + ∞ = ∞

∞ - ∞ = ∞

∞ x ∞ = ∞

∞ / ∞ = ∞

therefore ∞ = 0

1/0 = 0

make zero equal one

a = b

ab = b2

ab − a2 = b2 − a2

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

a = b + a

a + 1 = b + a + 1

a + 1 = 2a + 1

0 + 1 = 0 + 1

0 + 0 = 2

therefore 0 = 1

and we've come full circle.

I thought I understood it, but since, have come to understand that, although hypothetical such as a and b can be brute forced into behaving in ways they were never intended to, when they are real numbers, the rules do apply.

Also, dividing by zero turns out to be a lot harder than I imagined.

I accept that I was wrong, and have made that point at least a couple of times.

Thankyou to everyone who has helped me understand that, just because it is a logical argument, it is not a mathematically correct one.

Unfortunately, however much we want it to be, logic cannot win all battles. Some things are just inherently illogical.

Although one should be able to divide by zero (2/0 should equal either 2, 0, or infinity), sadly it doesn't work that way, and thusly, this theory falls apart.

Thanks again :)

1 + 1

let the first 1 be a, let the second 1 be b

a = b

a equals b, 1 = 1, sweet, now we're set, we can enter the mysterious world of pure mathematics

ab = b ²

therefore, a x b = b ^2, as we have established that a and b are equal and both equal 1.

ab − a ² = b ² − a ²

so, then, a x b - a ² = b ² - a ^2, because, as above, we can show that these are all equal, as a and b have been show to both equal 1.

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

a x (b - a) = 1 x (1 - 1) = 1 x 0 = 0 (to be correct 0.000.... recurring, or ∞)

(b + a) x (b - a) = (1 + 1) x (1 - 1) = 2 x 0 = 0 (to be correct 0.000.... recurring, or, again, ∞)

so, ∞ = ∞

a = b + a

a = ∞

b = 1

∞ = 1 + ∞

∞ + 1 = ∞

therefore, again, ∞ = ∞

then, prove that infinity equals zero

∞ + ∞ = ∞

∞ - ∞ = ∞

∞ x ∞ = ∞

∞ / ∞ = ∞

therefore ∞ = 0

then, prove that zero equals one.

a = b

0 = 0

ab = b2

0 x 0 = 0 ⁰

0 = 0

ab − a2 = b2 − a2

0 x 0 - 0 ^ 0 = 0 ² - 0 ²

0 = 0

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

0 x (0 - 0) = 0

(0 + 0) x (0 - 0) = 0

0 x 0 = 0

so we have established that a and b are equal to both 1 and 0.

"but wait!" I hear you say, "something can't be 1 and 0 at the same time?!?" <outraged face>

as a matter of fact, it can, I present the Qbit :

the quantum analogue of the classical bit. A Qbit is a two-state quantum-mechanical system .

In a classical system, a bit would have to be in one state or the other .

However, quantum mechanics allows the Qbit to be in a superposition of both states at the same time , a property that is fundamental to quantum computing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubit

right?

good, let's press on with our plan to lift the curtain on the fabric of reality and look deeply into the essence of existence

a = b + a

0 = 0 + 0

0 = 0

and

1 = 1 + 1

1 = 2

so, 1 can be shown to equal 0, 1, 2, or ∞.

the rest follows pretty straightforwardly :

a + 1 = b + a + 1

a + 1 = 2a + 1

0 + 1 = 0 + 1

0 + 0 = 2

therefore 0 = 1

so, as we have shown, there is no true value for these numbers, as it can be shown that :

0 = 0, 0 = 1, and 0 = ∞ as well as 1 = 0, 1 = 1, 1 = 2, and 1 = ∞

therefore we have shown that :

• 1 + 1 = 0
• 1 + 1 = 1
• 1 + 1 = 2
• 1 + 1 = 3

and you can keep proving away all day, until you reach :

• 1 + 1 = ∞

Therefore, I contend that this is mathematical evidence that we live in a quantum simulation.

yo, I will get back to you about this, I need some time to think about this. I also have to drive somewhere just now.

but I assure you, I will have an answer for you regarding both these replies, within the next 6 hours.

and no I don't mean, 6 = ∞ lol.

I thank you for your patience.

sorry, I thought I had replied to this. Turns out I was wrong, and you can't divide by zero.

Thanks for your input :)

Are you sure you aren't suffering cognitive dissonance, and it is such a harsh blow to our system of understand, to have it pointed out that,

hey, the proof that anything exists is based on the assumption that things do exist. boom, you cannot prove anything actually exists,

because, then your mind is like,

oh god, I can't align that with the beliefs I have that things do actually exist, so I must reject this theory out of hand and say it doesn't make sense.

rather than saying,

whoa, I should re-evaluate my entire worldview, because it has just been shown that everything that we are told proves anything is, in fact, based on nothing more than assumptions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

that's what your brain wants you to think.

If

1 + 0 = 1

1 - 0 = 1 and 1 x 0 = 0

then why doesn't

1 / 0 = 0?

I live in Australia, so looks like another assumption there.

funny how science makes so many of those.

so, then, a x b - a ² = b ² - a ^2, because, as above, we can show that these are all equal, as a and b have been show to both equal 1.

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

a x (b - a) = 1 x (1 - 1) = 1 x 0 = 0 (to be correct 0.000.... recurring, or ∞)

(b + a) x (b - a) = (1 + 1) x (1 - 1) = 2 x 0 = 0 (to be correct 0.000.... recurring, or, again, ∞)

a = ∞

∞ / ∞ = ∞

therefore ∞ = 0

then, prove that zero equals one.

a = b

0 = 0

ab = b2

0 x 0 = 0 ⁰

0 = 0

ab − a2 = b2 − a2

0 x 0 - 0 ^ 0 = 0 ² - 0 ²

0 = 0

a (b−a) = (b+a) (b−a)

0 x (0 - 0) = 0

(0 + 0) x (0 - 0) = 0

0 x 0 = 0

so we have established that a and b are equal to both 1 and 0.
