DEAD ENDS : Part I : Spark to a Fire

Hey Blogmates !

The last post reminds me of something I've been doing for years! Something, which I was avoiding to put up here. But now I've lost all patience so here I begin with a series of posts, which to me atleast are damn interesting !!! I hope you all enjoy it...

(1)

- 20 = - 20

or, 25 - 45 = 16 - 36

or, 52 - 5*9 = 42 - 4*9

or, 52 - 5*9 + 81/4 = 42 - 4*9 + 89/4

or, (5 - 9/2)2 = (4 - 9/2)2

or, (5 - 9/2) = (4 - 9/2)

or, 5 = 4

or, 2 = 1

QED

(2)

The very interesting infinitie series :

0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 ...

For those who don't find it so interesting, follow me.

0 = ( 1 - 1 )
:. 0 = ( 1-1 ) + ( 1-1 ) + ( 1-1 ) ...

Now all of you would have paid attention in primary school when we were taught the associative law of addition.
Interestingly applying that here,

0 = ( 1-1 ) + ( 1-1 ) ...
or, 0 = 1 + (-1+1) + (-1+1) ...
or, o = 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ...
or, 0 = 1
or, 1 = 2

QED

(3)
- 1 = - 1
or, sqrt(-1) = sqrt(-1)
or, sqrt(-1/1) = sqrt(1/-1)
or, sqrt(-1)/sqrt(1) = sqrt(1)/sqrt(-1)
or, i/1 = 1/i
or, i2 = 1
or, -1 = 1
or, 2 = 0
or, 1 = 0
or, 2 =1
QED

This is not the end. Its only a beginning ! Stay tuned for more of 1=2 syndromes ;-)
And you thought 1 + 1 = 2 huh ?

  3. About the second one Rash, you had a good arguement, but this is an infinite series so there is no last term! The catch here is sumwhat not-so-obvious.

    Im sure u'll find it in a while.

  4. there is some thing wrong with the interpretation of number system theories here ... i will study on the topic ... i will give u all satisfactory reasons ...
    thanx for the ideas to dig into ...these will certainly kill some of my boredom ...

    time
