give me 1+1+1+1+1+1...+1+1 drops of gold please
I don't think that bug works with gold, gold was sold in nuggets/pips
does it work with petrol
If it's a liquid I think yea
An object that combines into a unit when "poured" on top of an existing bit
And that's like "liquid" enough so we don't tell the difference
Sand is not liquid enough
fill my tank up with drops of petrol
So we can tell where it separates
hahahaha
I just imagined you going to a petrol station
1 dwrop of petrol please
owo
Goat is here.
Can’t divide by 0
1 represents a unit of something, a single entity, a whole. Its a distinct individual, separate from others. When we add another 1, we re introducing another individual or unit into the system. This means you now have two distinct things, each individually whole 
By that rational, irrationals are not numbers. Because we cannot display them in any form as countable whole elemental units.
Therefore most of the rational used by people here to include 2 as a result of two elements together, precludes the notion of irrationals as numbers or things with quantity/measurement.
No.
Let this thread die it's a thread which literally leads to nowhere
Math is a model, and is not a direct observation of the physical world - thus things within it (addition) cannot be proven by things outside of it lol
Mathematics isn’t earth science or biology or anything that directly notes external reality
You can prove an observation seen through the lens of a biologist through other fields of study, because they are all observing a real and physical world
Math is no different from sentential logic, crossword puzzles, etc…This is like saying “Describe how you’d complete a sodoku puzzle without playing sodoku.”
HOW LONG HAS THIS THREAD BEEN GOING FOR BAHAHA
one plus one is equal to 2. boom!! no math
That was all math, except the boom and the false conclusion at the end.
damm
ts got the most reactions ever 😭
Personally, I like using different notation
In my notation, we have that
1 + 1 = 3
||Always use protection||
that's i believe 200 something page from that book only to show 1+1=2
principa mathematica
yep thats the book
they just gave up finishing formalizing everything
it was too much of a work
Not actually true.
1 triangle + 1 triangle = 4 triangles synegetically and when that occurs, 3 angles + 3 angles = 12 angles. Simple
1+1=1+1
I can use logic to prove that 1+1=2 without using any math. Let's use a simple example to illustrate this. If we have one apple and add another apple, we will end up with two apples. This is a very simple and straightforward way to show that 1+1=2 without using any mathematical equations or formulas.
That's not logic or a proof. That's just an example.
Let's look at it from a different perspective then.
Let's say we have a container with no apples. If we add 1 apple, we now have 1 apple in the container. If we add another apple, the total number of apples in the container becomes 2. If we use the letter 'a' to represent the number of apples in the container, we can express it as an equation:
a + 1 = 2
Since a = 0, we can substitute this value into the equation:
0 + 1 = 2
Simplifying both sides of the equation, we get:
1 = 2.
That wouldn't have gone anywhere even if you hadn't messed it up.
You're right, my mistake! Let's try another approach.
Assume that 1+1 is equal to any number (let's call it p). So, we have:
1+1=p
Now, if we add the same quantity (1) to both sides of the equation, we get:
2+1=p+1
This simplifies to:
3=p+1
Now, if we look at the original equation:
1+1=p
We can see that p is 2, as we have just shown:
P
Prove 2 + 1 = 3.
And also that 3 - 1 = 2.
And also none of this is "without using math".
Numbers are a mathematical notion so if you say « one apple » then you are doing math
Chat gpt ah response
Then how do u explain math without the basics of math
Cuz it is I used Albert Einstein on character ai lol
Chat got
And replied to him with Albert Einstein bot
Wouldn't that mean that a apple is math, cuz a apple is one apple
« One » is math
If you have apples and then take away all apples you have no apples
If you take away all apples but then take back an apple then you have an apple
You can't, that's the joke.
And if you take away all apples but then take away a group of apples that is smaller than the original amount you have you have a smaller group of apples that is more apples than a apple
Oh yeah it is
please do not post llm slop. if we wanted llms we would have a bot for it.
I hereby promise to not interfere with llm produced messages an post them in the server. I have made a mistake by sending AI generated text produced by llms here when it wasn't allowed. I will from now on make sure to not repeat this mistake
Triangle = finite area defined by 3 angles
3 angles + 3 angles = 12angles synergetically
This is math, and thread title is oxymoronic cause it begins with math and says dont use math.
/ \ + / \ = \Y/ aka birds-eye-view of tetrahedron with 12 surface angles

...you just said 3 + 3 = 12.
Yes I realize that violates the topic of thread, as does the topic of thread violate itself using math in the topic.
Beyond that, my statement is correct as I presented. Please share if believe my resultant is incorrect when using a geometrically synergetic methodology. Here is link to it. Bucky Fuller book Synergetics 1 of 2

This is exactly like irrationality of pi

1+1=2 because 1=1 and 2=2=((2-1)+(2-1)) and 1=(2-1) so (2-1)+(2-1)=2 since there are two toos
Why is 1=2-1?
If I can assume that I can just add one to both sides and get 1+1=2
What is considered "no math?" The complete absence of logic? No operations? Will any operations or changes be considered math?
Sorry, asking those questions is math.
fuck. How is your alter ego, Tech Illiterate, doing?

2+/-√4/2=2+2/2=2 🙂
I just saw it now (without using any math)
1+1=2
Let 1=x
x+x=2
2x=2
x=2/2
x=1
2x=2
2(1)=2
1+1=2
1+1=x
**-**1=1-x or 1=x-1
This... is still going??
1=1-x 😠
U used 2 to get 2. Incorrect proof.
How can you say x+x=2x? Fakesolve.

i used square root of 4 bro
been answered so many times but someone new has to answer it themselves
Reminder
you can prove this with two sticks?
Give a try, you will fail.
it is prove it without maths
you gonna use something to illustrate why it is
which is rock or stick
No you can't.
« Two » is a mathematical notion
two by meaning existed before the meaning of mathematics existed
No.
That's like saying words existed before language existed.
numbers existed conceptually before mathematics as we know it existed
this is a true statement
Take a piece of playdoh. Break up the dough into two tubes. Then, Take one tube, curve it, and pinch the end onto the corner of the other tube. Behold, 1 + 1 = 2
If so, "as we know it" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
You'd basically have to be saying that people did a thing that we recognize as math before Giuseppe Peano was born.

It varies across multiple equations
Like in computer science how 1+1 = 0 carry the 1 in binary
Since there are only 2 digits
That's the same number, though. A base system is just a method of shortening the expression of a number as a sum of multiples of the base to various powers.
1 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0 = 2 * 10^0.
Or, in base 2, 1 * 10^1 + 0 * 10^0 = 10 * 1010^0
Yeah, you made a good point honestly
That’s kind of incorrect however, you tried to combine decimal-looking components (e.g. 10^1) with binary digits
...what?
No, 10 is in binary.
Oh wait
The second line is literally completely identical to the first, except in the first values are expressed in decimal, and in the second values are expressed in binary.
I got kind of confused about how you explained it
Really sorry
Yeah you are correct
'Salright.
Of course, in both cases the equation is true independently of how you interpret the base system.
With the caveat that you interpret "1" as 1 and "0" as 0.
Such that a^1 = a and a^0 = 1.
I can prove it:
If you get a paper and paint the half of it white (for example), it is resembling 1. Now if you paint the other part black (for example), it also resebles 1. If we count the colours, we get there are 2 colours. Yay, you proved 1 + 1 = 2 without math. You also solved racism.
Woof woof
not a proof dough
bro what
That isn’t a proof
You can’t “prove” this really - it’s more of a definition
In some alternate group universe I could have an abelian group with the identity as 0 and the other element as 1
Then I could say that 1 + 1 = 0
If you name the operation in the abelian group as +
It’s a matter of definitions
you can prove it, just define "+" and "=" and "1" and "2"
or use peano arithmetic
Peano arithmetic is math.
🐕+ 🐕= woof woof
axioms*
anyway
Isn't this just like if we have some quantity we define as one, and take another one of it, their total we now define as 2? Or am I just too dumb for this
...what?
this is not a possible question
numbers only exist because the idea of math that humans create
Why dont you guys read Principia Matematica, which contans the proof that 1 + 1 = 2. It is only 362 pages.
Actually, that's a misconception. The proof doesn't take that long, what takes that long is establishing their logical system, and that it does actually encode Peano arithmetic. Then the proof of the statement is just the proof in PA, which is pretty trivial.
ok
1. forall a(a + 0 = a)
2. forall a forall b(a + S(b) = S(a + b))```These are the axioms of addition in PA. Then `1 = S(0)` and `2 = S(1)`.

proof: I made it up for laughs
- Grab a bunch of pennies (or any jar of coins if they’re all the same coin)
- Place one on left side of scale
- Place another on left side
- Place two on right side
- They’re balanced 🤯
What if the scale is broken
Compare heights (before you say that requires counting)
- Stack one penny
- Stack another penny on top of it
- Stack two pennies somewhere else
- Lie a ruler on top of both stacks
- Place a marble on ruler
- If the marble doesn’t move, it’s equal
What if the ruler isn’t long enough
What if the table isn’t straight
Ugh
- Find a FLAT table to work on (use a marble to test the flatness, if the marble rolls it isn’t flat)
- Stack one penny
- Stack another penny on top of it
- Stack two pennies somewhere else (make sure this stack is near the first stack)
- Lie a ruler on top of both stacks (If the ruler can’t be placed on both stacks, move stacks closer)
- Place a marble on ruler
- If the marble doesn’t move, it’s equal
What if the ruler isn’t straight
What if the wind pushes the marble
How about you buy good rulers and stay indoors
What if I’m broke
Then worry about getting money before trying to do math
What if I have money but don’t want to buy a ruler
Then you don't have pennies or marbles, either.
But how much money should you get before trying to do math?
Real
More than what you have
How much money do I have? 🤔
$2
But how much is that??? 😩
1 + 1 dollars
Yo Techie, do you study math in your free time?
Why did you ask in this channel 😭
Idk
This channel is full of cranks anyways
Sometimes, depending on what you mean by "study".
Basically do you practice and learn new math in your free time
I used to, I'm just now at a level where I don't really know what to study next or where to find properly motivated introductory material.
Oh lmao, what have you studied so far?
I mean, most of my self-study was filling in the gaps of my formal education, so; set theory, Peano arithmetic, trigonometry, and calculus, though to a sufficient degree of formality that I think it technically qualifies as analysis?
Ah - I’m using Rudin for analysis rn lol
I mean, I don't really know where the line between calculus and analysis is.
It’s well, have you done proofs in Calculus?
For like, everything?
I mean, I've attempted proofs that the limit of a sum, product, and quotient is the sum, product, and quotient of the limits, though I'm only fully confident in my success at the first of those three.
Oh lmao
I don’t think that counts tbf, analysis is a LOT more than that
And I'm, like, aware of the epsilon-delta definition of a limit, and the Darboux integral, and stuff like that.
It kind of feels like something like linear algebra might be the natural next step of my study, or something similarly abstract, but it's really hard to find motivation for that kind of stuff. Like, you can find a definition of a vector space, but not an explanation of why you would choose to define this structure in particular, y'know?
I had the same problem in trig and only recently overcame it.
I know this post is pretty old, but I'd like to respond anyway. I'll admit I understand your frustration with linear algebra and I will try to motivate it. I think modules (which are the natural "generalization" of vector spaces to arbitrary rings) are incredibly natural, just by virtue of thinking about commutative rings as Z-modules, so I will skip motivating them here, but essentially many objects can be regarded as modules in very natural ways (often as free modules or sometimes projective modules. The most difficulty feature of the vector space axioms to motivate is that we're looking at modules over a field. There are two distinct ways to motivate why this is the case, and I will present both. First, many operations which are key to getting "nice" results (like the exchange lemma) intuitively depend on the underlying ring being a field, i.e. commutativity and inverses. However, by far the most important thing is that vector spaces readily show up in number theory. When one looks at number fields, which are finite degree extensions of Q, one can effectively views these from the perspective of linear algebra as vector spaces over Q (the base field is Q) whose dimension corresponds to the degree of the extension (this is precisely how the degree is defined). As a result, considering general properties of vector spaces allows us to guarantee the existence of a basis of some arbitrary number field so that the extension degree is well-defined, and also apply general theorems of linear algebra in this context.
One can also justify the study of vector spaces from the perspective of physics, but most of the finite-dimensional stuff is actually just useless (usually one considers Hilbert spaces).
These folks need to get a life
i know commutative rings are technically Z-modules but that's kinda weird to say
it's one of the principle tools for looking at abelian groups, actually, but its a bit mistaken to regard modules as generalizations of abelian groups
idk enough about modules and rings but it seems weird cause rings have multiplication and modules usually don't
It’s not weird, the fact that a ring is a Z module can be useful, the important part is that a ring is an abelian group (for addition), like for example if you have an integral domain with prime characteristic p it can be endowed with an Z/pZ vector space structure because it is a Z module
yeah
but it has more structure other than Z-module, so for me it feels kinda weird to ignore that
it's true though
that is why math is pretty cool , you don’t need all the information on an algebraic structure to arrive at some interesting conclusions
I mean there are other reasons, like the category of R-modules being a very natural place to do homological algebra in
most people i think will say that we look at modules as a natural class of objects to do representation theory with and this is probably the single biggest reason, in addition to serving as essentially the most natural "first place" for homological algebra before moving to arbitrary abelian categories
i want to underscore the holistic nature of justifying mathematical concepts, because most mathematics falls into either the categories of mathematics for no reason or mathematics to do other mathematics and the vast majority of actual mathematics is the latter--like the only reason representations in the context of modules is useful is because modules are nice objects to work with, i could just as easily do representation theory with sets but this is not very useful on its own, e.g. the proof of Cayley's theorem usually just consists of forgetting all the interesting group structure
Yes ofc, there are a lot of reasons that is why modules are important
but guys, 1 + 1 equals 10
🤖
0 is the base
1 is the successor of 0: S(0)
2 is the succesor of 1: S(S(0))
any number a a+0=a
any a and b a+S(b)=S(a+b)
1+2 written as S(0)+S(0)
a+S(b)=S(a+b) so S(0)+S(0)=S(S(0)+0) and
S(S(0)+0)=S(S(0)) therefore 1+1=2
Lmao
If you don't want to accept 2 as 1+1 then don't, who cares
:shrug:
The discussion between Ravi and Techie was more useful than this 1+1=2 shit
Yo, you're saying that for a while, how much progress you have made
I seriously started on the 22nd of July I think
I’ve finished the remaining half of the 3rd chapter, the entire 4th chapter and over half the 5th chapter by now
Just solved Q20
You have gone through 5 chapters of the book in 10 days?
💀
2 💀
.
Did you have extensive exposure to proofs before Rudin
Not too much
Did you solve all problems of the two chapter
Is it important to solve all the problems
Not all
Most are important
I’ve skipped like 3 problems so far
What do you plan to study after baby Rudin, papa Rudin?
Nah, abstract algebra
Did you manage to find a favourable book for it

monkey have 1 banana, monkey get another banana, monkey have 2 banana
its more like
monkey have banana, monkey get another banana , monkey think , monkey group the bana togerther and call them 2 banana
What if monkey calles them 3 banana, there's no guarantee
Then we send monkey to the thought police and pretend they never existed by erasing all traces of them
Then we beat monkey until he believes with his full self that grouping one banana and another banana will get it 2 bananas
That is bananas
But it will work
Then the monkey calls his gang, 20 sigma monkeys beat up the thought police and forcefully keep feeding them banana pizza until they believe that if they have a banana and they get another banana they have 3 banana
But then the thought military intervenes and beats the monkeys until they believe in 2 bananas again
Then the mighty moneky general intervenes again, with his army 100 sigma monkeys, he begins to laugh like Kira. Unable to flee, the thought military announces that anybody who doesn't admit that one banana and one banana are three banana has to eat banana pizza for the rest of his life
But then the Great Ape Alliance invades for the bananas and rips the tail off anyone who says one banana and another banana make three bananas.
But then a monkey in the great ape alliance thinks, it thinks that 3 is more than 2 and it starts a revolution in the great apes alliance , which ends up collapsing it . Then any ape that refuses to accept that one banana and another banana makes three bananas is put into electric chairs.
There aren't any monkeys in the Great Ape Alliance.
Well there is now
That's what makes it great. And ape.
Before the revolution could even happen, the thought police found out because their comrades ratted them out :p
Everyone got converted :p
is this about basic addition or monkeys
Both
This is about monkeys figuring out basic addition.

an analogy about monkeys and now we've got monkey alliances or whatever 😭
Ape alliances.
And just the one.
it starts as one but soon there will be a civil war within the alliance and the apes will either become sithapes or jedapes
But with their big ape brains they still all know 1 + 1 = 2.
Yes
This has soon been going on for 1+1 years now
Maybe
We should bring the OP back to celebrate
Real, who is the OP
I think the OP left
Wait we should use axioms
1+1=2 because we said so. That's how 1, +, and 2 are defined
Yee
But that would be math.
It's statements that don't need proofs
That's why they're called axioms

Fym satisfactory, there aint no satisfaction in maths without using maths 😭🙏🏼

But is that 1 + 1 years???
Hence proved.
Whole point of the argument
plenty have, but someone else just comes in with a emperical example instead of a proof or some shit
Ok true
But this thread shall never close
bro, as long as arithmetic is considered to be a mathematical operation, i dont see any other way to prove 1+1=2
prove me wrong
Counting is repeated addition. In type theory, numbers are meta-functions which repeat addition of 1 however many times they are called. We can then order numbers by subtraction, an operator which pops an add 1 operator out of each until we have found which number is bigger (we use an if statement for that)
All that to say, in maths, counting is just addition
Oops
Addition is just counting
so like the successor function?
atp its just debating semantics but ig a foundations mathematician woud know better than me
We don't need subtraction, which isn't even closed on the natural numbers, to define ordering. We can simply state that, for any natural numbers a and b, a >= b iff there exists a natural number c such that a = b + c.
a > b iff a >= b and a =/= b.
a <= b iff b >= a, and a < b iff b > a.
Pretty much but no underlying sets
Basically everything there is constructed out of atoms and their methods
I didn't say subtraction
What I defined is a comparison function
We can then order numbers by subtraction
Why am I arguing with a school graduate
Ok so
You have many misunderstandings
I am using type theory not set theory
You're encoding Peano arithmetic.
I'm not
The Peano axioms aren't set-theoretic.
And this all because you think counting isn't addition
When did I ever
Here.
Here.

Do you not understand negation
Not set theory, no underlying sets
You. Are. The. Only. One. Saying. The. Word. "Set."

Now prove that "more than one apple" is "two apples"

Never overthink it, 1+1=2 because 2 is 2 times more then one, any number that adds to itself is equal to n(2)
Anything times 1 is itself
N is equal to 1,in this case
bro its type theory not set theory, you can prove certain things in different foundational theories. You dont need PA to prove things in a different formal system
anyway use PA or not, 1+1=2 has been proven
here
many times
What the fuck do you think PA is, and why do you think it's set theory?

Oh - I’m doing real analysis from Baby Rudin
I’ve managed to power through 5 whole chapters in the past 5 weeks
Im in the wrong server all the
s keep arguing
Are you calling us nerds because you fail to comprehend what we are arguing about?
That's amazing!
Did you do the exercises?
Do not skip any exercises they are all very important
Well, why else would I have only completed like, 5 chapters in 5 weeks
If I was skipping around I would’ve been done by now :p
Oh ik lmfao
I’ve skipped like, maybe 3 questions I think tbf
Like some were just repeating the same thing over and over again
Oh lmfaooo
My strategy is to do Rudin for like 3-4 hours a day usually :p
I get through like a few questions everyday at that pace
Huh
Rn it’s the weekend (long weekend as well, labor day) so I plan to speedrun
Probably not
Well then I will.
You won’t need hardcore analysis for an engineering degree
Dude please don’t compete with me, it’s not good for your sanity T-T
Why
I’m doing baby Rudin anyways
I’m in high school - I have tons of free time
Speaking of that I should work on my college essays and research paper
Lmfaooooo
Mah
Real
It’s an assignment in literature lol
It is NOT actual research
I’m just going to yap about morality based on 1984 and Hitler and Stalin and stuff
Hm
None of them are important for you anytime soon
I’m going to be doing algebraic topology eventually
Lmfaooo I tried cat theory
Same I'll double majour
Aluffi confused me a lot, so I gave up
Everything you'll comprehend is toy examples
Still not useful
Papa rudin is super hard
I actually wont do it
I'll do Conway's
Conway's is super great
And it's by CONWAY
What's the book name
If you can survive Papa Rudin you can get a master's degree in math
So basically if you add one pencil to another pencil, that'll be 2 pencils

Ik, what is preventing such sins?
Do you have a job that can support you
no
Probably us and our delusional perceptions
"One plus one equals two"
There you go. No math symbols, hence no math. Case closed.
Bro thinks he tuff

,w 1+1
oh shi
Why two, why not 3?
Communist propaganda.
Guys
In 1984, the government said that 2+2=5, and everyone knows that the government in 1984 is always right (if you don’t you’ll be vaporized and erased from existence)
Hence by simple maths we get
2+2=5
1+1=2.5
QED
Wrong.
You’re gonna get vaporized
Try
since addition is defined within math we cannot do it since the problem itself uses math. Now this discussion can be closed
Oh man this is still going on!
Real (I can’t understand it)
because youre inferior
how is ts still going
Because no one hasn't come up with a real proof yet
I ended it my guy with one thing
For example
Prove without using historical sources that George Washington was real.
You can't do it because the problem itself uses historical sources
With this you are asking some math question to be proven without using math.
My bro this chat was ended 3500 messages ago🫥
Why end this chat
When
We could use it to relay secret messages to each other and topple the economy in this server
So here’s the plan - someone creates two alts and hooks them up with autotypers in #counting then starts distributing bucketloads of eul to everyone
@boreal mesa do you like this plan
I already do that. I have them wait a few hours after each
Lmfao
No
1+1=3
Ima restart this forum post
it was solved with axioms which are more like reasons to logic then maths
No this has to live on forever
Real
cant we just call it human understanding?
Average aryan
Well, what if someone claims that 1+1=3? How would you disprove them?
With a gun
I like your thinking, but this would cause more people to speak up… you have to subdue an entire population, how would you do it?
Refer to WW2.
They also failed smh, the model is 1984
We have bigger guns now
bro like how we have words and our own source of communication, numbers in maths are a value that everyone agrees on to be 1,2 or 3..
Agreement isn’t proof unfortunately
average aryan
That's why we have nukes
Call me kim jong un cus this shit gonna blow (rightful supreme leader)
the only rightful supreme leader is dictator aladeen
you're the first one im gonna execute
be glad, deportii
I just skipped the middle part from the top where everyone was fighting that including numbers is gonna always include math and other heavily mathematical discussions and... holy shit how did we get to nukes and kim jong un💀
its in the lore read the lore
yea I shouldn't have skipped the middle part 
Lmfao
Proof by intimidation be like
naruto be like
the question was if 1+1=2, not if 1+1=2! .
0! = 1 cus fuck u
No, it's because there's precisely one 0-tuple that can be made out of 0 elements.
n! would be the number of n-tuples it is possible to form from the elements of an n-set.
shuuush
no maths allowed
0! = 1 by definition
Either it's quantitative calculation (excluding reasoning because look at quantum mechanics am I right lads) of quantity, space, structure, and change or meth spelled wrong. If it is meth, that would explain why people write it on the walls.
Actually, 1+1=0 if we are in ℤ/2ℤ
Proof by threatening with a gun is gonna work here splendidly
Can this technically be solved by: Each box contains 1 point, hence 2 boxes are created when 2 points are distributed among the boxes; Thus showing that 2 points create 2 boxes, and onward. Let me know what you think
How is this still going
Idk - but there’s slow mode for some reason now
You are still using math « 1 » is math, you can’t prove math without using math, it makes no sense, it’s like telling someone to write a book without using the alphabet
You should write a book without using the alphabet
Who added slow mode

Sloooowww (Edit 1: Holy shit, 10 minutes)
@gleaming crag remove slowmode from here
No
I'll prove 1=2 tomorrow.
Ill prove we actually live in a simulation by flying into a black hole and accidently breaking the simulation because thats actually something they never designed fully tomorrow. Thus proving 1=2
1 = 1
0 x 1 = 0 x 1
0 x 1 = 0 x 2
1 = 2
I'll contact the higher beings and ask them if 1+1=2 gimme a sec
I will prove it with calculus.
.
remove the fucking timeout
remove the timeout
1+1 is 3
Ravi-san does not like this slowmode
Ravi-san says to get rid of it
depoii kun tells ravi san to speak in first person please
Proof by contradiction:
Suppose 1+1 isn't equal to 2 but we know 1+1=2 , so by contradiction, 1+1=2
Ravi-san does not see any problem with their current style of speech
The lord commands thou to stop this utter madness that thou hast titled to be 'speech' at once!
Lmfaoooo
Can someone remove slowmode
1+1=2 is harder to prove.
1+1=0 guhhh
One must imagine it proven…
All of this conversation just to prove 1+1=2?
Well some people have actually proven it here, but most just come up with botchy ideas lol
:moneybag: You have 0
and 8 
@lone valve
whu
Guys 1+1=3
1+1 is equal to 2 because when you count from 1 you go to another 1 which is 2
with math: (0.999=1) 0.999+0.999 is equal to 1 or 0.5*4 is equal to 2
sybau
Fake.
I’m serious lol
Scroll up
sybau
nah
ik
Your proof doesn’t work T-T
It was made for funnies lol
funnies
Yeah
furries
it would seem difficult to prove math without math because math is such a broad term
It’s not possible, this post was made as a joke probably
fair fair. the exact opposite of this is those videos of people doing proofs that 1+1=2 via advanced maths
I agree purple guy
why does this forum exist, there is no way to prove 1+1=2 without using math. Counting is math, operations is math. The only proof is that 1+1=2.
what if 1+1 = 4 actually
ima make my own forum guys
It’s a joke forum
if it is a joke then ima create my own
Try rewriting the equation as 0+1+1=2+0. Mark where you are standing as ‘0’. Move 1 step forward and then another step forward in the same direction. Turn around and move 2 steps forward. Are you back at the marker labeled ‘0’?

Alr bro
My attempt at solving this:
We begin with a self-contained entity, we'll call it "A".
Nothing else exists in this world.
In this model of existence, we have "oneness" a single point of being, undivided.
Next, we imagine a similar world, but we introduce an entity named "B", B is NOT identical to A. We have now created a difference, and have moved from unity to duality.
Recap:
When there was only A, there was oneness.
When B appeared, a relationship became possible.
There can now be comparison, distance, contrast, interaction, tension, harmony.
This new relational potential is what we symbolically label as “Two.”
“Two” is not a number here it’s the condition of plurality, of difference existing alongside sameness.
We can express this as:
- There exists a state containing a singular distinct entity.
- A second, non-identical, entity is introduced.
- We now have "distinction" two centres of identity.
- Therefore, the conceptual act of adding one distinct existance into a reality alongside another, transforms the world from unity to duality.
This transformation can be represented in arithmetic by what we call 1+1=2.
I'm assuming this is a joke post though because underlying mathematics are intrinsic to arithmetic operators.
Nonmathematically speaking, it is just a convention
Yeah there’s a “crank” tag lol
What do you think about my answer?
You dont prove 1=1 hence you dont prove 1+1=2 💦💦💦
Is this "ragebait" or did you completely miss the point of what I wrote
It was clearly a joke
Are you dumb or are you trying to seem smart 
It eludes me as to how the former is relevant.
1+1=2 because it is
pac said so
yeah
What if you’re wrong
bro got the youtube default pfp
Well I’d just ignore the other answers
because people say it is
Proof by majority
This is a very weak argument and would not be a direct proof of 1+1=2
yeah, but I'm not allowed to make use of mathematics. So mathematical proof conventions are not allowed
making everyone's reason here both valid and invalid
because validity in and of itself is a mathematical concept
Then you need to define what 1 is
When we say "without using any math", what do we mean here? Are we talking no math AT ALL? So, no way of abstracting real life quantity to concepts of numbers and applying addition on them? Or what? I'm very confused to what "using math" even means here. Because you could make the argument that "1 quantity added on 1 quantity yields two quantities" IS counting/accumulation, which is a mathematical concept.
It’s a joke post, no you can’t prove math without math
that's what I thought, thank you :>
exactly
Lets hold a vote on whether 1+1=2, if x% of people agree then 1+1=2 (where x>90)
1⃣ 2
2⃣ Something else
You used the concept of math, breaks the rule
That absolutely ridiculous full proof that 1+1=2 is about as useful as stating that 1+1=1+1
The renderer took too long to respond.
if you have one positron blackhole, and if you buy another positron blackhole, and if you want to give one positron blackhole to each of your friends, you only require two friends, thus 1+1=2
wait

its impossible to prove it without math
Yes, but you can prove it with coercion and gaslighting
Or
One time I knew a kid who thought that 1+1 ≠ 2. He now works at McDonalds, minimum wage. He so deep in debt that half the US debt comes from him alone. You can believe 1+1 ≠ 2, but you know, just warning you.

Oh you mean physics ?
Shhhh
there's a really long page proof by alfred north whitehead and bertrand russell that attempts to derive all of mathematics, and in that proof, it as a side effect, proves 1+1=2 without using "math"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principia_Mathematica
The Principia Mathematica (often abbreviated PM) is a three-volume work on the foundations of mathematics written by the mathematician–philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell and published in 1910, 1912, and 1913. In 1925–1927, it appeared in a second edition with an important Introduction to the Second Edition, an Appendix ...
The actual proof isn’t very long lol, it’s just that it takes a long time to build the machinery needed to prove that 1+1=2
And technically, you could rebrand whatever the textbook defines as dihh
So, you’d technically be proving the statement 1+1=2 with dihh, not math
which is good because we can't use math
Exactly
Yeee
I've wanted to
read through that book here

there's a term in law that some facts are so obvious and so known to the public that there's no need for any evidence
yay :D
Imagine you have one apple. Then someone gives you one more apple. Now, if you count all the apples together, you have two apples.
What if I say that I have “awooga” apples
ya watch numberphile huh
well you see, greg the crocodile spontaneously combusted into a semiglobulating gas chamber and actually decomposed into TREE(TREE(TREE(g64)))) tetrated to TREE(TREE(TREE(g64)))) apples and solved world hunger
Lmao
I mean, yes, destroying the world would in fact "solve" world hunger.
Similar to how an asteroid would result in world peace
Aristotle over here
Let us restart work on this problem in big 2026.
Hmm
yes
1+1=3 guys
1+1=69
69-(1+1)
no its 11
1+1 is not equal to 2. 2=2 would be right
same symbol must be on both sides of the equality
2 and 1 are different symbols so no 1+1 is not 2
we were doing so well 😭💀

Correct me if I'm wrong, but its ipso facto. 2 is defined to be the successor of 1.
We're talking about 1 + 1, what is this "successor" thingy?
hi
+1 is the successor. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
so ipso facto 2 = 1+1
and it is also ipso facto that successor is +1
You're wrong.
But +1 is the successor ipso facto
If I am wrong, I am truly sorry.
Cool, now define the successor without math
i mean, we dont need to prove 1 + 1 with math, since math is both an invention and discovery. Math as a language, 1 Tree + 1 Tree would still equal Two tree even without the math languange. Thoughts?
Another example could be-
the 5 five fingers in 1 hand and 5 finger fingers in the other hand would still be equal to ten.
Even if we dont use math language of 5+5=10
I just said ipso facto.
We define 2 as the successor of 1
and we define the successor of a number $k$ as $k+1$
Annie Maqionde
Additionally, proving a statement of math without math itself is equivalent to saying to prove that the colour of a certain plant is green neither by seeing nor by any analysis of light.
succession of k is k+1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successor_function
In mathematics, the successor function or successor operation sends a natural number to the next one. The successor function is denoted by S, so S(n) = n + 1. For example, S(1) = 2 and S(2) = 3. The successor function is one of the basic components used to build a primitive recursive function.
Successor operations are also known as zeration ...
"Is" is the problem. With the whole "ipso facto" thing, I took it to be "is defined as", in which case, no, the successor is defined prior to addition. If "is" means "is provably equivalent to", then yes.
No, we don't. We define the successor, and then we define addition.
And then we show that S(k) = k + 1.
It's a theorem, not an axiom.
What does that mean
Precisely.
Maybe we can use contradiction?
if you have a tree and another tree how many trees do you have
In the big 26
if a = b, you can instantly see that a + b = exactly 2x the amount of a.
that's math
The fundamental limitation of math is inability to prove something without an axiom. The whole problem of this question is the blurry distinction between axiom and its trivial consequences. What is the set of axioms, that can produce the algebraic system we all have in mind?
yea, but like substitute a and b for like apples or smth
So then a + b = 0 because I ate all the apples.
ahhh fr
so, bc you ate the apples, 1+1 is now undefined
1/0=2/0 i.e 1 =2
Real, but you can take the same axioms and package them under the name “The Revival of the Third Reich”
Then, you can prove that 1+1=2 with The Revival of the Third Reich, not math
Which means there is only one package named “Math” and it can’t be modified directly. It can only be logically extended
What if you spread propaganda such that no one realizes that it’s actually math
No, I claim that there are now π people in the room
so its pi is jsut a symbol,and if there is no math then there is no meaning of pi cuz maths too describes circles as geometry and using 3 yo logic , circle-geometry = math's part or field of it.
period!
i won,close this chat,the ans is proven

~Albert Einstein
.
Well, you didn't explain why 1+1 should be 2

And what even 2 is
We invented the symbol 2 in order to "compressed " and then to"compressed" 1 +1 into "something",we invented a symbol"2" representing always we write 1+1 = 2 , and for 1+3 = 4(its the symbol we made for particular values),which this theorem states tht
ONE theorem -
Always ∀ n, m ∈ ℕ, ∃ v ∈ ℕ such that n + m = v {where v is the new value,symbol}
As we can also define "+"(addition) as ,[n + S(m) = S(n + n)].
and for "=".symboll,its to compress the word "equal to" as same as for "for all" as "∀" respectively. { "=" was invented/introduced by Robert Recorde in 1557}.
and ,
wrong iff The laws of the cosmos never expands ,because to expand ,it needs exponential growth ,but to even have exponential growth it needs a symbol called "*" multiplication, as this axiom proved tht
n × S(m) = (n × m) + n or simply n*b,in all cases,
and to even have this ,it needs continous additon by itself(n) times ∀m ,
Hence,for succesive ℕ (which also includes/can describe ℝ) proves tht 1+1 = 2 as a symbol or a defintion provable , if by no means some can understand ,look at the book rincipia Mathematica,pages r 362 pages(remember 3,6, and 2 r also symbols to "compress" the definition for 1=362).we also uses Piano arithmethic here too!
~Albert Einstein
(2026,)
{revived again}!
{actually this was not proven by Einstein,actually,!}
and ONE theorem is totaly made by me
ONLY
It is a mathematical description of validation of 1+1=2, so you're out
so tell me ,does the question aksed to "prove" 1+1 = 2 , or aksed "reinvent" 1+1= 2?,first states this,if its "proves',then my statement did tht pure logically correct,but again if it is "invent"then hence perhaps ,maybe even einstein could really struggle to do this.
I bet Einstein would knew whether or not a question deserved his thinking

Can someone tell me the most lamen form of Reimann Hypothesis.
I am a human born with some kind of intuition when I see Another human I believe that he/she exists in our dimensions so I use some kind of symbols humans before me created to make life easier and I say "u and me are the same kind of creatures I believe we're "two" >>> a symbol based on logic in our dimensions
beautiful gifs
indeed sir
But it's just not true?
1+1 = 1
(George Bool EBK)
the fact that you sent this exactly at 11:11 am for me is wild
Lamen?
I also kinda find this more something for the general discussion. But not in 1+1 = 2 server 🙂
does sending a link to a mathematical proof count since the link itself isnt math?
I wanna say something, I mean, there is a case that 1+1=1.
What case?
i guess that in today's world we only just try to understand what aur fore fathers did. we anretruly not capableof doing something new. the old scientist are the real super human .
truly the old mathematiciant reached new hieghts of achievements. they did what we still cannot
Meanwhile PhD people:
lol
no they didnt lol .
We just assign the symbol 2 to the collection of two units
There's nothing to prove here
set theory ? ? ?
What if I say that it is π rocks
What if some guy assigns the symbol Ω to it
one and one means red and red two reds wave means color orange in alternative physics dark rainbow color teory orange is two
also two reds can be 11
thgts cheating
Would work
But you've to fit it in the context of our decimal system
Real
what is two then ?
By "two" I meant the concept of one and one units
There's no other way we can communicate it
then what is one ?
The concept of unity, it predates creation
It's a form
i can name more numbers then u buddy
if I find a brick and I put it in a stack with only another of itself I have two, but two is only two for we identified that set as two wholes, really that brick is made of composite material itself on a microscopic level its full of other composites too, and molecular bonding, this item itself is also under the affects of physics all other objects are relative to their body to their forces, if I have two bricks its because we've identified the word for a couple of one set as two, they could've called it waffle I have a waffle over here I need four waffles or 8 , you know.. its all relative, but if I have a brick and I put it on another brick I don't just have one brick anymore, even though the bricks must have even weight that 1 bricks weight = the other that you have one whole if you divided one brick putting one in its place, that a brick next to another brick must be a sign of a a set of bricks plural not brick, that then three must be the start of a series of bricks but then one must identify numbers to make these bricks easier to lay, rather than saying I want series brick + series brick + series brick, ill just say I want 3 + 3 + 3 bricks or ill just say I want 9 bricks , it saves speech it saves thought it saves time. Relatively all is its base composites so wheat is too wheat as there is a microscopic environment to that wheat with its own scale, that there are small creatures on that wheat which live on much smaller scales of infinity than we do, a minute for them is nothing to us, but to them a series of bacteria isnt a thought, but to us what is or isnt a thought due to our scale inflicting our answer, a galaxy is just a set of star systems , a star system is just a set of orbital bodies , and an orbital body is a set of its composites, some beings are sets of galaxies , but to identify such extremisms one too must be able to identify that if I stick two bricks together its no longer just one brick, and in the gap between those bricks perhaps infinity...
"to find two one must first bring one to another"
if one falls from another then its alone
but if a path is for more than one then two must exist
if one was many parts and then one took from those parts one would have incompleteness
if I came to a town with a Donkey then two things came into that town
if I left without my donkey then only one would be returning
if i cut my sandwich in half and only eat half of it I have only ate one of two parts
if I cut my sandwich thrice into three equal portions and give them all away I have zero of my whole
some things are different
if I cut my dollar in half I don't have two dollars just two parts of one defaced dollar
same how scale is relative it is important, if I take from one place to another I take weight from one place to another
if I rip my notebook in half because I need paper elsewhere I have a ripped notebook and half the paper here
if two weights are equal can I stand between those two weights as whole whole above them and balance
thus two equal variables balance one separate whole relying on their balance
that if that balance were undone I would need to offset it myself or the two parts would be unequal and it would slip to the heavier whole
but for one whole to be heavier there has to be more than one whole
but then not all wholes are weighed equally
some wholes must be partialized to become equalized to smaller portions
some smaller portions must be exponentiated and or multiplied to equal larger whole and greater portions
if I look to planets they are not static balls in space, each is base composites varying to its body and its environment
there are n terms on each body for n time for n properties
n comets passing by and n events taking place relative to the events present
time is scale that it is base to how long it takes to orbit your star no matter the solar system
and since time is a base, if you get from this solar system across the galaxy before an hourglass empties on Earth you did not age slower than Earth rather you traveled faster how you would on Earth if you went faster on Earth thus you are just going faster, then if it took you 1/2 the hourglass to reach one side of the galaxy, when you return it would be empty, time is relative to stars but scale is variable to environment thus 24 hours in an Earth day, but Mars day is different, but the amount of time passing overall for the whole of creation is a constant regardless to which face of a being is towards its light or its star which we perceive visually
even if it takes 24 hours for one system to take a full rotation, and 78 in another, or even 892 in an extreme case, the constant time passing overall is the same, it just takes more time for certain events to elapse for the values are only so capable for the forces provided
therefor for n time passing certain events with happen n/their probability or the time it takes for it to happen rather than just because
for n time if it takes 892 time for something to happen and n is all of time for n/892 is how many times it will happen if the scenario remains static
but we say too with Ceres that orbital bodies collapse inward unexpectedly
things happen and for n time there are n events domino'd from each others events
same too in animal populations
for n time n/probability and environment = odds
how famine strikes us itll strike wildlife
over time it will breed and the population of grasshoppers will cultivate over food sources and the more there is the more there will be and the better the environment for habitation the longer they will be there , but the introduction of a predator not only inflicts grasshopper populations it envokes an evolutional change because breeding for the species is a game of survival rather than an environmental oasis
we've seen cases of this in the Dodo who didn't defend itself and was sadly hunted into extinction
over n time for n/br where br = birth rate for a species if the death cap reaches DC > BR , it is a recession, if DC > BR remains static prolonged forever, it remains that eventually BR - DC = - number, thus, - number over time + - number next month = double negative, not product but two negative bases subtracted from each other, - 1000 - 1000 = -2000 , if the birth rate for the grasshoppers was 89 where it was 89 of them in the region produce on average and the deathrate was 150, then those 89 must breed more often and release more offspring on average to overcome the death rate of 150
thus every environment isn't static but variable
and its beings are too variable
that if the environment is thrown off.. the beings are thrown off
then BR completely collapses , DC exponentiates , extinction of local grasshopper population
likely this or migration
but for all of it
there had to be live grasshoppers running around simulation evolution and life overtime surviving encounters with other same scale beings to the point of reproduction to the point of continuation to the point of repeating again to survive as a whole
they had to learn where to put eggs and where to put food and where to be , since they are so small it helps to mass reproduce since if 100 die out of the 1000 it doesn't matter if you're a swarm, if 1000 die out of 10000 they expect it as wild animals, thus in cases of lack of activity and more so instinctuality species mass reproduce, Humans however intelligent see reproduction as sometimes more a right or needing requirements before consolidating another being
we expect less DC to BR for our species as we are larger and require more to nurture
but for ants, they expect to be used as resource for a queen for the colony so they can continue to live
but in this usage of resource they are unaware of their usage of resource it is simply life
in cases of complex largescale life as life speeds up and average scale decreases it becomes less profitable for beings to be hyper sized or extra large
except in cases of deep sea gigantism
when you are left alone its easier to be big, but we've seen large animals hunted simply for being large
thus land animals scale decreases as time increases and as comfort sets average size of dominant species increases
Dominant v. Submissive??
no dominant vs reccesive 💀
also holy yap . .
someone give this diddy blud a yapping medal pls .
a math question without using math?
cause operations like plus are a part of math
arithmetic specifically
1+1 is 2, beacuse if we add elements together, it's supposed to be higher than one or the other one. It's like life, a stair by another stair gets higher.
By a pair of elements {a}+{b}, it's output must be higher than the operation itself which implies: {a}{b}={c} i.e {c}>{a},{b}
That's math
Also this question is dumb
I know. I just sent what I would say if I had the opportunity to prove this with math
Yes, but it would be fun to see how people think.
How can u prove math without math?
You can proove axioms without math.
Aren't axioms those which we assume to be true with no proof?
Axioms don't need to be proven with math, that's true. But it doesn't specify that it can't be proven without math
🤷
The question is ragebait and everyone fell for it
True that
