Hi all,

 

Remember,during high school days, in math class, you were always

warned not to divide anything by zero, lest you get infinity, and

infinity sounded too much like god...? So it was a no-no!

Remember the earliest pre-IBM personal computers that you had to

program yourself before they could even do anything. They would crash

when you divided anything by zero or a some dummy character that it

considered to be zero?

(I once wrote program in Basic that calculated prime numbers using the

sieve of Aristophanes.... Initially it would crash after its first

attempt at reiteration because my logic would put it through an

unexpected division by zero. By the way, I had that program running

on a little Radio Shack handheld, some 15 years ago, it ran that

program for months, I took it with me traveling from hotel room to

converted car battery power to a quiet corner in some far away class

room while I was teaching DOS or Frameworks. That Radio Shack set up

even had a little printer and printed out reams of prime numbers... I

was so proud... The paper unfortunately was light sensitive, so the

other day when I was looking for some evidence (proving the past

hahaha) I saw that it hadn't handled daylight too well..)

 

Anyway, that aside:

1/0 = ~ 1 = 0 x ~ 1/~ = 0

2/0 = ~ 2 = 0 x ~ 2/~ = 0

3/0 = ~ 3 = 0 x ~ 3/~ = 0 etc.

 

or

0 = 1/~ 1 = 0 x ~ ~ = 1/0

0 = 2/~ 2 = 0 x ~ ~ = 2/0 0 = 3/~ 3 = 0 x ~ ~ =

3/0 etc.

 

So there.... that established, I can now have hot chocolate...

Its all figured out!

 

Love, Wim

Following, the same "logic":

 

~/2 = ~

=> 2 = ~/~

=> 2 = 1

oups...

 

Moral of the story? The mathematicien had figure out since a long

time that we shouldn't play with the infinite... :)

 

Mathematically yours,

 

Stephan

Dear Stephan:

Do not be so sure that 2=1 is an oops... or even 3=1... or even ~ = 1

Although your work on the formula is erroneous, it does not matter, as

we can get to 2=1, etc. from a different list of equations.

 

One of the great science guys would always ask two things:

"Does it commute ?"

or

"Is there unity?"

 

I could not post the whole list of equations because, as we say in

Holland: "Daar is geen beginnen aan" or in English, "There is no end to

it" and "I wouldn't know where to begin." So I just chopped out the

clearest section under the heading of "simple math for simple-tons"

 

See, Stephan, there is no wrong when it all figures...

And in the end, that it figures is all that matters (verb) in principle.

 

Love, Wim

 

PS

Quite a while ago I wrote, I believe to this list, that during some

episode in my life, I experienced life purely as play of with and in

mathematical formulas... Part of the episode played around the equations

that I jotted down in the "zilch, finite, infinite, noneness, oneness,

someness" post. So humorous...

I wish I could convey it...
