#A promising theory to explain 1÷0
1515 messages · Page 2 of 2 (latest)
so why do you say it has a different meaning?
1•1 = 1 is also true, why don't you point out that this has a "different meaning" as well
See its because if in a 3d volume, if one axis component is 0 (2d object) it gives volume zero and if 2 components are 0 (1d object) then still the volume is zero, overall it matter how many zeros are there hence if 2 zeros it means 1d if 1 then its 1d because if we try to knkw the dimension directly it would be just zero anyways
Because i dont need it for my purpose
yes, you are indeed arguing in circles
^
ok here's how it really works
something that you call a 2d object, is still a 3d object in 3 dimensional space
why is that?
and you are restricting to a very small subclass of objects with arguments like "it has one axis component 0"
Ofc i am
because i am dealing with pure dimensional object
Not just negligiblily small enough thickness to call it 2d
if your ambient space is 3d, then every object (as a subset) is 3d as well
okay?
so?
one of many
^
but let's talk some basics again
techie gave you a proof for a result that contradicts your results
^
nonono stop
your goal should be to find your mistake
stop right there
I know my mistake
Mistake is i didnt give the exact ideas
The exact situation
I didnt define it well
that's a problem, but not the problem
tbh
contradictory results cannot coexist, it doesn't matter how well or how poorly your explain your theory
tbh that problem wasnt even contricting because actually when i revised my theory i am not actually giving 1/0 a new value but rather explaining whats the fundamental cause that gives the value 1/0
i know it doesnt have?
this would be really simple if you knew some basics of logic
well can u stop doubting on my knowledge because its not good for my stress frankly saying
you're like a text robot, you just generate stuff that's "probably" true in your own mind
but you lack the ability to self correct
on what basis are u saying that?
honestly? by this alone
um
humans makes mistakes but whats important is to correct them
I have no doubts, I know you don't have formal training, so I know you know very little (which is fine), but the bigger problem is you refuse to learn
what makes u think i dont learn?
you've had several opportunities to course correct during this discussion, but you have some deeply embedded superiority complex tucked away in your head that just won't allow you to let false ideas go
I cant just instantly do what the other person tells me when i worked hard in it, ill take some time and then proceed thats what is learning
I can respect the hustle, but your focus has been misplaced
Thats probably the last valuable thing u said and didnt even clear me when i asked before telling me i am not eager to learn
efforts are but after learning but i think u are unseeing that
and that brings me to references
if you learned this, then there has to be a source for it
Everything doesnt have a well defined reference
spoken like a true plagiarist 😄
I came here again after tomorrow not to prove my theory again
But to get an agreement on this
Rules are meant to be broken, even the ones of mathematics!!!!
I do because i feel i failed to convey the things going in my mind to u, and when i succeed with that and then if u tell me that i am wrong then i will consider all ur words
But for now i will just work on correcting it and refining it
Yes you exactly can. When you've "worked hard" building a giant edifice of nonsense, you should abandon it the instant you figure out that it's nonsense.
I don't really need you to convey them to me, you already claimed a false statement is true, that's all I need to disregard your theory
Thats an inhuman approach
If humans were so great, they wouldn't build giant edifices of nonsense to begin with.
I will say that again and again till i feel that what i am trying to tell youve got it
you can keep on saying it however many times you want
if your theory proves something that is known to be false, then your theory is inconsistent
only if the part of u having a better understanding about it is complete
this is independent of me, your or any observer
A person cannot prove something wrong or right if they dont have the clear understanding about its purpose
that is false
Good night
"Purpose" is completely irrelevant. A mathematical statement is true or false as a matter of pure logic.
After you've studied some propositional logic and predicate logic, you should look into something called "axiomatic systems". We can prove and disprove statements that have entirely no meaning, not to mention nobody has a clue about their purpose.
what happened now
From what I read, Vendetta is opening up a little
But they haven’t made anything rigorous yet, and everything is still wordsoup
sad
Oh well
- i am rewriting the condition again to make it better
one can safely stop reading here
"this undefined quantity arises when a quantity is divided by zero"
- and undefined quantity does not arise
- we can't divide by zero
So when i say an undefined quantity arise when we divide by zero in mathematical operations then i am wrong?
yes
you have assumed something false
so your argument is valid whatever the conclusion is
but that doesn't make the conclusion true
you can only derive true statements from true statements
that's a basic property of classical logic
Nono i am confused
make me understand how i am wrong
it is true that 1/0 is undefined, therefore we cannot divide by 0 in the first place, 1/0 being undefined means that this sequence of symbols has no meaning in the first place
but you assume it has meaning, your assumption is false
so you can say whatever you want past this point, and your argument is valid
When i say that we divide, in this case we are performing division unknowingly about the fact its practically not possible
you can only divide by nonzero numbers
So can i instead of saying divided by zero can i say try to divide by zero? That way we achieve the inderminate form while agreeing to that fact that this division is not possible
no
what you can do is the following
suppose 1/0 is defined and let x = 1/0 be a real number..
but then you run into the problem pointed out by techie
contradictions cant be allowed, so you have to accept that 1/0 is at the very least not a real number
I am not saying its a real number bruh
you are implicitly assuming it, because you do calculations with it exactly like with real numbers
But are we sure about the fact that doing calculations must never give such indefinite values?
yes
both addition and multiplication of real numbers are algebraic operations
this means that the sum and product of two real numbers is always a real number
but what happens if somehow such value is obtained while doing the calculation
provided your work is correct, it will never happen
and if it does, your task is to find where you made a mistake
^
It will happen if we perform the divide by zero thing
ur point is that we restrict to do that
ur point is we restrict to do that not only because it gives an indefinite value but its not practical to do it
at best, you are giving a circular argument
"assume we can divide by zero, therefore we can divide by zero"
this is a tautology
^
it's not about practicality
we simply can't do it, the laws of the arithmetic do not allow for it
The laws of arithmetics doesnt allow ofc because its not practical am i correct w that?
look up any 1=0 proof online for an example, if you want
no
practicality is not in consideration in the first place
it's not important
I have a proof to correct this
but only if u consider 1/0 as what i told
a higher dimensional quantity relative to a lower one
See the point is
@rigid anchor
ure misinterpreting it
My intention is something else
Its that i am finding "what is that mistake that causes us to obtain 1/0" a more general and indirect one
Its not about arithmetics
yes it is
U are taking my words more literal
My intention is to answer that "what is that mistake that causes us to fall onto 1/0"
Its not an assumption
its not even an assu ption
dont question and understand what i am telling or else it'll be false to u throughout
this is how logic works
as soon as your work contradicts arithmetic, I have to look for mistakes
in your defense, we have to have assumptions
1/0 wasn't supposed to arise in calculations but at some places like calculating the strength of spacetime curvature at the centre of a blackhole it does arise, now it doesnt have to do with it its illogical or logical
The question is less about whether its correct or incorrect
Its more about why did it had to arise
correctness is ALWAYS relevant
I edited it
you are missing so much basic training, it's nigh impossible to convince you
setting up astrophysics strawmen isn't helping your case either
what makes you think it did? are you certain you have correctly understood the theory or its predictions?
the predictions are all what gives me this motivation
your interpretation of the predictions*
My predictions matches the outcomes of string theory
oh brother, now you claim to know string theory too?
just stop
you already struggle with basic arithmetic and logic, don't make claims like you can navigate in something as complicated as astrophysics or string theory
I took help of chatgpt
slam dunk..
bad idea
Why
you have no knowledge of the topic to even evaluate whether gpt gives you correct information
What i did was ask formulae from chatgpt and directly perform the method of my equation
chatgpt doesnt give wrong formulae?
it does and it is very capable of giving incorrect proofs
but you wouldn't know that, because you don't know how to check it
by learning the subject yourself
but i cant do that
its sort of ridiculous to learn it at this age just to obtain the formulae
no but yes
but the formulae are of physics
were you planning to credit gpt at any point in your article?
why would i?
.
i would have given the references tho
but i wouldve obtain the formulae from a better place
And refered to them
I used gpt to make it easier?
i have time to correct
its not the end afterall?
what if it can't be salvaged?
the final conclusions won't change, you are still in contradiction with arithmetic
what if i believe that my core idea that is already under contridictions and it can barely be salvaged?
that is very likely true
and if that's what you believe, why would you continue working on it?
i dont loose hopes
i know i will because i will
"simply observed" ?
you claim GR gives rise to quantities like 1/0?
it does not
these are not observations about the theory, but rather your interpretations
I will not spend time on fighting any more of your strawmen
@rigid anchor one final question before u leave
I made interpretations about 1/0 being a transition to higher dimension but it is wrong because 1/0 cannot possibly arise at anyway
Then what if i change my concept
And use limits such that lim x tends to 0 where f(x) is 1/x
So rather than fractional ratios imma try with limits
that way i might obtain a tendency to transist instead of complete transition
I was wrong
I remember when i first time made the theory i used limits
that time i came here and they told me the same thing
That 1/0 is not possible but forgot
And made a potentially good work into a crap....
@rigid anchor what do u think? Is revising this theory with limits instead of ratios better than just quitting?
f(x) = 1/x is a common and simple example of why division by zero is undefined. What even is the point of that?
i know very little about your theory or your goals, I don't know how you should proceed
Hrrr drrr 1/0 is defined because general relativity has asymptotes but is overall well defined (and other ramblings of the mentally insane)
Next up: residue thm
@torpid gazelle (goo goo ga ga)
Wow this convo
After stopping tech literate said “ironically yes lol”
I just realized that maybe theory of computation that I took as a computer science student and the propositional logic and automata are actually important
I didn’t know that logic was that important in research and math
I mean.. I always sucked at math tbh :P
since I was a kid but now after reading @rigid anchor replies I now get why my math profs were so enthusiastic about teaching us proofs and what does everything fundamentally mean whether it was calculus or linear algebra or number theory
hi
Hello
what u doing here?
Nothing I was reading this thread cause the title caught my interest
so what did u see here?
Math battle that is beyond my comprehension
I didn’t even take real numbers and I’m in uni
My country’s edu system is a bit trash
well they would call it a battle against a strawman
oh
Well.. tbh not that trash but still doe, like compared to Asian countries especially during elementary to high school period is less than they take
It is only that I entered IGCSEs and took only math AS I don’t know complex or real or imaginary number
Even doe I would be interested to learn about it and solve some exercises
Maybe i wouldnt have heard so much if i used limits in my theory
The story would have been different
But
Here is a thing
I have heard about this 1/0 debate before
And the work arounds people had to do
I simply define a solution to this problem in my mind as one of two possible solutions:
- let us say that you have an apple,
One apple to be exact denoting the “1” as a number and you have you “0” people to divide it upon
Like imagine you are walking up to the air with no living being around you and you are holding an apple you want to distribute?
The answer would be 1 you still have one apple and no people to distribute it upon
Or
Second possibility is 0 which doesn’t make a lot of sense unless you mean “0” as in “there is no body that I will be able to give this apple to” hence a “false”
That’s is how I perceive it as a humble monke brain that ain’t a math geek
But to be honest that “1” is also not really an answer, it is a remainder
You still didn’t distribute the apple you had
while useful, this is still only an intuition based on the real world
it leads you to think 1/0 doesn't make sense, but it's not a disproof
Yeah
You are right
On a logical form this is true but when it comes to world of math everything is variable and depends on your world
the so called mainstream math is based on ZF axiomatics, often also including the axiom of choice
so our worlds coincide
assuming our framework is consistent, we can't reach mutually exclusive results
arithmetic is just a tiny part, math is first and foremost about proof
..at least nowadays
That limit doesn't exist.
shut up this time i am perfectly correct on this
that limit exists
No it doesn't.
Yes it does.
which limit?
No, it doesn't.
It certainly does.
$\lim_{x \to 0}\frac{1}{x}$
Techie Literate
aL
this limit exists, for example
Well, no.
$$\lim _{x\to 0+} \frac{1}{x} = +\infty$$
Both the limits exist.
and this
aL
ohhh
but not when x approaches 0 from arbitrary direction
Technically speaking a limit that "goes to infinity" doesn't "exist" per se.
okay so i needa specify direction
You need to learn some limits.
yea fair enogh, there are no cauchy sequences
you do, im afraid
you with no mathematical training are in no position to tell people who clearly know more about mathematical analysis to learn limits
They were wrong
Prove it.
They just denied it
Prove what
Prove that I'm wrong.
I mean i meant this
Wrong in what?
The thing you fucking said I'm fucking wrong about.
I just didnt said it literally
What did you say, say again properly
please just stop pretending you understand the theory, we can tell you're full of shit
Forget about your math credentials, you have no grounds to insult anyone else's intelligence when you literally cannot follow a fucking conversation.
See dont get mad about me not specifing 0^+ or 0^- okay? I just asked in general dont be so rigorous abt it
if we lose rigor, we have nothing
First tell me your opinion, if i was wrong then what was correct?
This is something no real mathematician would ever say.
You couldve just corrected instead of called me wrong straight away
his or anyone else's opinion is irrelevant
You've said so many wrong things I have no fucking clue which one in particular you're talking about.
that's what I did, but you chose to double down
You are forgeting about the fact that i am no mathematician and just a learner except you are the one teaching here so do it mindfully if u do
and yet you are making claims about mathematics
I am not arguing about that i am just not happy with this other guy's way of talking, like does he expect me to be a mathematician? He might be better than me but he is not good at teaching abt it to others and i will insult him for that
I made it clear at first that i am just a teenager
do you believe that's a valid defense?
In order to learn, you have to admit you don't know. To learn from me, you have to admit I do know. You've already failed miserably at both of these.
Thats absolutely a valid defense because i came here to learn and debate about it
Not to prove it right here
we can resume the conversation in a few years, then you can't cop out
No you didn't. You have no intellectual humility.
No, what your purpose was to just humble me rather than helping me
what you want to learn about has taken people years, don't expect us to be able to summarise analysis in a handful lines of text for you
there's a reason why math textbooks are looooooong
When did i say i expect yall to summarise?
You gave your time i am happily satisfied with it
You literally came in here claiming to "explain 1/0", then responded to a proof that no such thing exists by disagreeing that 0 + 0 = 0.
but some people are here just to humble and trying to show that theyre very intelligent infront of a kid
when you are clearly wrong about something, you need to be told
What you know were the 2 words "explain 1/0" and completely ignored every other thing
I can't teach you if you assume you know better than me.
I never made such assumptions
You felt it because you assumed it on me
If you were so confident abt urself over me why did u even let that happen?
rubbish
if you didn't make this assumption, then we wouldn't be having this drawn out conversation
please don't be rude to your helpers
he aint helping
he was most of the time trying to humble me
Because he thought that i am assuming to be smarter
well they are stating facts
They did
they were here helping for days
But what did i say? They mostly humbled me unlike the other helpers
you choose to be difficult
i chose to be difficult?
Wrong, they just get between conversations, drop their statements and tell me to prove them wrong and start humbling me
in your defense, if you say you've been contemplating this idea for two years, I can empathise with how you feel when someone tells you it's wrong
Is it called help?
You're asserting that I'm wrong, and we do prove our assertions in math!
Ive realised that
But what i asked was to improve it with limits
As i sent the msg above
I keep coming back to it, but you are lacking basic knowledge in logic
there are no improvements to be made
But they just say 'no' because they feel its the only easier reply just because they fucking assume and i rhink myself to be better than them?
I think u didnt see the msg
if you say so
its about 1/x lim x tends to 0^+/-
What about it?
That you wont understand because you never cared ro know the whole point of my theory and closed ur eyes on it after u saw the word 'a number divided by 0'
I keep telling you, if you make a false assumption, then you can write whatever you want as a conclusion
he can close his eyes or not, it wouldn't change anything
see how we keep coming back to basic properties of logic?
logic seems kind of important, you should learn it
I before related 1/0 as a number obtained when a higher dimensional quantity is observed relative to lower dimension (dont ask me Explaination but yeah when i assumed 1/0 as a number i proved it on that basis) so if i make the limit as tends to that 1/0 thing (by what i said now abt 1/x thing) that would represent a tendency to obtain a higher dimensional quantity wrt to lower one
ik it sounds like a wordsoup
But pls understand
it is wordsoup until you define what "higher dimensiopnal quantity with respect to lower dimensional quantity" means, for starters
Ive rold u that many times
'Told'
and if it was well defined, I wouldn't keep asking
Ive sent the images too
I tried defining it in the images i sent
The base concept one
^
I before related 1/0 as a number
Which it isn't.
the only part I understand is n-volume
this is n-dimensional lebesgue measure, basically
and I think what you are getting at is that "a line has 0 area", "a subset of a plane has 0 volume" etc etc
but so what?
What is a subset?
if a sheet of paper is your plane, then a subset of that plane would be any cutout
or the entire sheet itself
and it is true that its 3-dimensional lebesgue measure is zero
Yes so i took a method where we represent it as a ratio of the plane with its subset
and call this ratio as "the value of the plane 'with respect to'/'relative to' tgat subset"
But the quantity associated with the plane is thats why i used the concept of n-volume
so area of the plane?
because that could be the most fundamental quantity that could be associate with that plane
yes
ok, so it would have to be finite, but we can work with that
So according to that i called 0 as "a lower dimensional plane wrt a higher dimensional subset" i said lower dimensional because for the ratio to be 0, the plane should be 0 too and for that to happen it the plane would have to be either a line or a point making the any of the axis components zero and hence the n-volume zero and the subset still be a plane sheet
"the plane should be 0 too" lost me again
*the n-volume of the plane should be 0 too
you're running into the 1 apple between 0 kids problem again
But in a more mathematical way
that's irrelevant, you can't do this
for example you take the unit cube relative to its base
higher dimensional quantity w.r.t lower dimensional one
it's division by 0 all over again
Its like i am trying to change the 0 magnitude subplanes inside a 1 magnitude plane into a 1 magnitude lower dimensional plane inside a 1 magnitude plane
Its like seeing how many lines or points can fit in a sheet of paper
infinitely many
Or like how many 2d sheets can fit in a 3d cube
so atleast we know that when we are approaching to infinitely that means we are trying to fit into a larger dimension which can never happen?
in physics terms you would be using units such as "cubic meters per square meters" which is nonsense
am i right to say that?
Its not that simple
What i tried to say was this
this whole thing is rotten
why
very strictly speaking 2d objects don't exist in 3d space in the first place
Exactly!
you can make 2d objects 3d objects by giving them "0 height", in some cases
but then answering how many sheets of height 0 you can stack in a cube of height 1
is the 1/0 problem all over again
yk the formula for force of attraction?
how or why is that even relevant now
In which F \propto 1/r^2
why are you brining newtonian mechanics into this
or rather take the formula of gravitional potential where we need one only mass effectively
G \propto 1/r^2
at r=0 its the point where the centre of the mass is located
So what happens to the gravitational potential when we reaches to its centre?
that is not how it works
again, you are interpreting newtonian mechanics and reaching incorrect conclusions
wait nvm this isnt a good example
there is gauss law for that sorry that wasnt a good example
to be specific, the centers of mass of two bodies in nature, no matter how small, will never be at 0 distance from one another
But ive heard about blackholes that it diverges to infinity when r tends to 0
and secondly, the formula does not imply gravitational force becomes arbitrarily large
and thirdly, the gravitational force is also proportional to the masses of the bodies
Well i dont think newtonian formulae are good for this
i learnt about something called Kretschmann scalar
I used that formula for blackholes divergence
what does all of this have to do with what you are trying to explain
there are many people who mix and match legit concepts and shoehorn them into their own "theories"
this is not unique to you
I mean i wanted to explain what happens to Kretschmann scalar when we are approaching at centre of blackhole
that would imply you understand the theory
my theory?
astrophysics
I dont
I hate to be like this, but there are people out there, far more experienced and knowledgeable than you, who already worked on it decades ago.
hard work & dedication is like kryptonite to cranks
And being humble
ooh..the h-word
"World's best mathematician couldn't solve ... the impossible conjecture ... but I likely can. And if it doesn't work I'll try a different approach"
What bothers me the most is when they watch a single youtube video on a difficult problem and try to solve it, despite not understanding the actual theory behind it
And when something is too difficult they leave it out entirely
e.g. proving the Riemann hypothesis using highschool algebra
well, he hasn't made claims of solving any of the millenium problems ..yet
Then stop fucking acting like you do. Stop acting like you should or can "explain" shit abour things you admit you don't understand.
In that case the response is to post the vixra signup link and close the thread 😍
who is that?
John Gabriel of new calculus fame
You are not speaking to your wife so watch your mouth
I am impressed if someone did that before. Can you show me their work btw?
i feel doomed rn
Seriously? Who talks down to their wife like that?
Maybe you shouldn't focus on maths, but being a decent human, you troglodyte.
i thought u were writing something informative
oh so now you will think that its my mindset for some wife?
i would ask
why would you think i would say that to my wife? Just because i said that phrase?
I suggest you to not judge my personality on the basis of what i belief for others okay?
Yes, even thinking of that scenario displays certain underlying moral values and beliefs.
I didnt wanted to be rude but anyways i chose to reply like that because theyre getting on my veins
That scenario could be from observed surroundings too i mean there any many possibilities
Maybe pull your shit together and stop wasting people's time. Your theory has no basis and is absolutely pointless.
well
My theory is secondary now
To?
Answer this
Another theory?
A simple online search will give your the answer
It takes less than a minute.
Clearly, you don't want to make an actual effort anywhere.
Oh i will be honored if that less than a minute is given by you
because afterall you said the people worked on it before
Lazy, once again.
You're not worthy of my time.
