The end of mathematics...

I've kind of given up on mathematics but not quite. How can 1+1=2 when one doesn't know what 1 and 2 is? There is no 1 per se or 2 or 252 only 252 of something.

1 dog + 1 cat = 2 goats?

1 boat + 1 forest= 2 frogs?

It's the end of mathematics...

But 252 is numberwang so your theory is bobbins.

I've always regarded maths as suspect when you consider that an infinitely large number can exist between two numbers. The explanation that we should use three significant figures was a get out IMHO.

You should use spearmans' rank correlation co-efficients to work it out.

Yes and how do you plus a one with another? How do you times it and how do you divide it?

Supposing you have a pizza. It is something. How are you going to divide it by one?

2/infinity = 0

1/infinity = 0

So 2/infinity = 1/infinity = 0

Multiply both sides by infinity

Then 2 = 1 :ugeek:

Eat it.

Rowls, that's 1-1 =0, not one divided by one = one. And eating isn't quite dividing, is it? Devouring, yes. Dividing, no.

Cirrus Minor, why do you think infinity is a zero?

One pizza divided by two people = half.

One divided by one = indigestion
