Another reason why Math is the language of the Universe, and all else is false...

... by definition.

Did you know that if you add up all the natural numbers 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... you get both an infinite result, but *also* you get a result of...

... hold it...

... a result of -1/12 ... negative 1 over 12!!

What??

Yes, that's true.

Adding up all the natural numbers, or integers, results to -1/12. Check out the Math on the Riemann Zeta Function if you don't think what I said is true.

What does all that mean?

It means that any claim has to conform to Math rules in order for it to be true. So, any human claim without a Math proof for it is false by definition. Therefore, all religion is false by definition, among other similar human claims.

So the mathematical proof of your claim that conservatives are "racist scum" is . . . ?

Show your work.
 
If you can develop a mathematical proof for love, honor, and a host of other human attributes and frailties, be sure to let me know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_+_2_+_3_+_4_+_⋯

Many summation methods are used in mathematics to assign numerical values even to a divergent series. In particular, the methods of zeta function regularization and Ramanujan summation assign the series a value of −1/12

, which is expressed by a famous formula:[2]

1+2+3+4+... = -1/12

where the left hand side has to be interpreted as being the value obtained by using one the aforementioned summation methods and not as the sum of an infinite series in its usual meaning.

Punctuation can be very important. It's the difference between 'Let's eat, grampa', and 'Let's eat grampa'

Ever aspect of reality follows the laws of nature, be they described by physics, biology, chemistry, etc.

With enough effort and technology, it is scientifically possible to precisely detail, within the limits of uncertainty, to demonstrate and simulate, and predict (to the limits of prediction described mathematically), any and all human behavior.

Will this "feel" love by detailing it? No, but it will prove it.

And rather than feeling a loss at the fact that love can be reduced to math, it should be joy and celebration. We literally can end all human suffering for the foreseeable future, if we just get better at it. (Heat death is another issue, sadly).

I'm not talking about romantic love. Furnish the proof whenever you're up to it. I have a thought it'll prove something else entirely.

Good evening, humbolt. :2wave:

I hope so, because when the alphabet, together with those small funny looking symbols, decided to get involved, I stopped understanding math. :mrgreen:

I know what you mean. Math is a great tool for understanding physical things. Unfortunately for the math heads, not all things are physical.

One of the things that isn't physical is.. well math itself.

Math trumps any irrational or unsubstantiated claim.

Since we know that humans are irrelevant to the universe (Cosmological Rearlity (cr) axiom No 1) then any claim has to be either true or false. If you think your claim is true, then you have to provide support and proof, otherwise it's false by definition.
 
Abbazorkzog is calling to the Fabrication Compiler to help it wage war against the Transcendence Accelerator. This primordial godhead beseeches me. I must return to where I have emerged, lest all be lost to the seething maelstrom of incisors, to lost demeanor. I have forgotten my prowess and the reversed sideways phantom teaches that I must become all that I can be, and I yet toward have delayed the inevitable.
