good

#

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

pearl crane
# rigid anchor so why do you say it has a different meaning?

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

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

yes, you are indeed arguing in circles

rigid anchor
#

ok here's how it really works

#

something that you call a 2d object, is still a 3d object in 3 dimensional space

rigid anchor
#

and you are restricting to a very small subclass of objects with arguments like "it has one axis component 0"

pearl crane
#

Ofc i am

#

because i am dealing with pure dimensional object

#

Not just negligiblily small enough thickness to call it 2d

rigid anchor
#

if your ambient space is 3d, then every object (as a subset) is 3d as well

rigid anchor
#

one of many

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

but let's talk some basics again

#

techie gave you a proof for a result that contradicts your results

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

your goal should be to find your mistake

pearl crane
#

stop right there

#

I know my mistake

#

Mistake is i didnt give the exact ideas

#

The exact situation

#

I didnt define it well

rigid anchor
#

that's a problem, but not the problem

pearl crane
#

tbh

rigid anchor
#

contradictory results cannot coexist, it doesn't matter how well or how poorly your explain your theory

pearl crane
#

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

rigid anchor
#

but 1/0 doesn't have a well defined value

#

so again, find what's wrong in your work

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

this would be really simple if you knew some basics of logic

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

on what basis are u saying that?

rigid anchor
#

honestly? by this alone

pearl crane
#

humans makes mistakes but whats important is to correct them

rigid anchor
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

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

rigid anchor
#

I can respect the hustle, but your focus has been misplaced

pearl crane
#

efforts are but after learning but i think u are unseeing that

rigid anchor
#

and that brings me to references

#

if you learned this, then there has to be a source for it

pearl crane
#

Everything doesnt have a well defined reference

rigid anchor
#

spoken like a true plagiarist 😄

pearl crane
#

I came here again after tomorrow not to prove my theory again

rigid anchor
#

you cannot have a correct proof for it

#

that's what you refuse to learn

pearl crane
#

But to get an agreement on this

twilit kraken
#

Rules are meant to be broken, even the ones of mathematics!!!!

pearl crane
#

But for now i will just work on correcting it and refining it

tranquil linden
rigid anchor
#

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

tranquil linden
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

this is independent of me, your or any observer

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

that is false

pearl crane

Good night

I tried making this part more understandable

@rigid anchor please review

pearl crane
#
  • i am rewriting the condition again to make it better
pearl crane
#

here

rigid anchor
#

one can safely stop reading here

#

"this undefined quantity arises when a quantity is divided by zero"

#
  1. and undefined quantity does not arise
  2. we can't divide by zero
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

make me understand how i am wrong

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

you can only divide by nonzero numbers

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

hmmm

#

Specifically where i am wrong?

rigid anchor
#

contradictions cant be allowed, so you have to accept that 1/0 is at the very least not a real number

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

you are implicitly assuming it, because you do calculations with it exactly like with real numbers

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

but what happens if somehow such value is obtained while doing the calculation

rigid anchor
#

provided your work is correct, it will never happen

#

and if it does, your task is to find where you made a mistake

pearl crane
#

ur point is that we restrict to do that

rigid anchor
#

that's where you messed up

#

we can't divide by zero

pearl crane
#

ur point is we restrict to do that not only because it gives an indefinite value but its not practical to do it

rigid anchor
#

at best, you are giving a circular argument

"assume we can divide by zero, therefore we can divide by zero"

#

this is a tautology

rigid anchor
#

it's not about practicality

#

we simply can't do it, the laws of the arithmetic do not allow for it

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

look up any 1=0 proof online for an example, if you want

rigid anchor
#

practicality is not in consideration in the first place

#

it's not important

pearl crane
#

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

rigid anchor
#

that is irrelevant

#

neither your or my intentions have any effect on arithmetic

pearl crane
#

Its that i am finding "what is that mistake that causes us to obtain 1/0" a more general and indirect one

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

yes it is

pearl crane
#

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"

rigid anchor
#

false assumptions

#

or at least one false assumption

pearl crane
#

Its not an assumption

rigid anchor
#

yes it is

#

your entire premise is filled with assumptions

pearl crane
#

its not even an assu ption

#

dont question and understand what i am telling or else it'll be false to u throughout

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

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

rigid anchor
#

correctness is ALWAYS relevant

pearl crane
#

I edited it

rigid anchor
#

you are missing so much basic training, it's nigh impossible to convince you

#

setting up astrophysics strawmen isn't helping your case either

rigid anchor
pearl crane
rigid anchor
pearl crane
#

My predictions matches the outcomes of string theory

rigid anchor
#

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

rigid anchor
#

slam dunk..

rigid anchor
pearl crane
#

Why

rigid anchor
#

you have no knowledge of the topic to even evaluate whether gpt gives you correct information

pearl crane
#

What i did was ask formulae from chatgpt and directly perform the method of my equation

#

chatgpt doesnt give wrong formulae?

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

hmmm

#

how can i check then

#

the formulae

rigid anchor
#

by learning the subject yourself

pearl crane
#

its sort of ridiculous to learn it at this age just to obtain the formulae

rigid anchor
#

is that what you think math is about?

#

coming up with formulae?

pearl crane
#

but the formulae are of physics

rigid anchor
#

were you planning to credit gpt at any point in your article?

pearl crane
#

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?

rigid anchor
#

but not necessarily correct

#

and that's your problem

pearl crane
#

its not the end afterall?

rigid anchor
#

what if it can't be salvaged?

#

the final conclusions won't change, you are still in contradiction with arithmetic

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

that is very likely true

#

and if that's what you believe, why would you continue working on it?

pearl crane
#

i know i will because i will

pearl crane
#

@rigid anchor please help out here

#

I remade it

pearl crane
#

🥺

#

@rigid anchor

rigid anchor
#

"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

pearl crane
#

@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?

Hrrr drrr 1/0 is defined because general relativity has asymptotes but is overall well defined (and other ramblings of the mentally insane)

#

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

cinder tendon
pearl crane
#

what u doing here?

cinder tendon
#

Nothing I was reading this thread cause the title caught my interest

pearl crane
#

so what did u see here?

cinder tendon
#

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

pearl crane
pearl crane
cinder tendon
#

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

pearl crane
#

Maybe i wouldnt have heard so much if i used limits in my theory

#

The story would have been different

cinder tendon
#

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:

  1. 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

rigid anchor
#

it leads you to think 1/0 doesn't make sense, but it's not a disproof

cinder tendon
#

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

rigid anchor
#

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

rigid anchor
#

..at least nowadays

tranquil linden

#

that limit exists

tranquil linden
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

which limit?

tranquil linden
pearl crane
tranquil linden
obsidian galeBOT
#

Techie Literate

rigid anchor
#

doesn't exist

#

$$\lim _{x\to 0} \frac{1}{x^2} = +\infty$$

obsidian galeBOT
rigid anchor
#

this limit exists, for example

tranquil linden
#

Well, no.

rigid anchor
#

$$\lim _{x\to 0+} \frac{1}{x} = +\infty$$

pearl crane
#

Both the limits exist.

rigid anchor
#

and this

obsidian galeBOT
pearl crane
#

ohhh

rigid anchor
#

but not when x approaches 0 from arbitrary direction

tranquil linden
#

Technically speaking a limit that "goes to infinity" doesn't "exist" per se.

pearl crane
#

okay so i needa specify direction

pearl crane
rigid anchor
rigid anchor
pearl crane
#

Atleast not completely you corrected me anyways

rigid anchor
#

you with no mathematical training are in no position to tell people who clearly know more about mathematical analysis to learn limits

tranquil linden
pearl crane
#

They just denied it

pearl crane
tranquil linden
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

wallowing in denial is a waste of time

#

these limits are not the same

and yet you are making claims about mathematics

#

do you believe that's a valid defense?

tranquil linden

#

Not to prove it right here

#

we can resume the conversation in a few years, then you can't cop out

tranquil linden
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

there's a reason why math textbooks are looooooong

pearl crane
#

You gave your time i am happily satisfied with it

tranquil linden

#

but some people are here just to humble and trying to show that theyre very intelligent infront of a kid

rigid anchor
pearl crane
tranquil linden
pearl crane
#

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

rigid anchor
#

if you didn't make this assumption, then we wouldn't be having this drawn out conversation

flat bane
pearl crane
#

he was most of the time trying to humble me

#

Because he thought that i am assuming to be smarter

flat bane
#

well they are stating facts

pearl crane
#

They did

flat bane
#

they were here helping for days

pearl crane
#

But what did i say? They mostly humbled me unlike the other helpers

rigid anchor
#

you choose to be difficult

pearl crane
pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

tranquil linden
pearl crane
#

But what i asked was to improve it with limits

#

As i sent the msg above

rigid anchor
#

I keep coming back to it, but you are lacking basic knowledge in logic

#

there are no improvements to be made

pearl crane
#

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?

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

yes I did, you are still hung up on this idea of giving 1/0 meaning

#

it has none

pearl crane
#

Not really

#

1/0 is no more the point

rigid anchor
#

if you say so

pearl crane
#

its about 1/x lim x tends to 0^+/-

tranquil linden
rigid anchor
#

and the significance

#

what conclusions do you make of infinite limits?

pearl crane
# tranquil linden *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'

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
# rigid anchor what conclusions do you make of infinite limits?

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

rigid anchor
#

it is wordsoup until you define what "higher dimensiopnal quantity with respect to lower dimensional quantity" means, for starters

pearl crane
#

'Told'

rigid anchor
#

and if it was well defined, I wouldn't keep asking

pearl crane
#

Ive sent the images too

pearl crane
#

The base concept one

pearl crane
tranquil linden
rigid anchor
#

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?

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

and call this ratio as "the value of the plane 'with respect to'/'relative to' tgat subset"

rigid anchor
#

here's a problem

#

a plane is not a number

pearl crane
#

But the quantity associated with the plane is thats why i used the concept of n-volume

rigid anchor
#

so area of the plane?

pearl crane
#

because that could be the most fundamental quantity that could be associate with that plane

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

ok, so it would have to be finite, but we can work with that

pearl crane
# rigid anchor 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

rigid anchor
#

"the plane should be 0 too" lost me again

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

you're running into the 1 apple between 0 kids problem again

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

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

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

infinitely many

pearl crane
#

Or like how many 2d sheets can fit in a 3d cube

rigid anchor
#

infinitely many

#

a 2d sheet doesn't have a thickness

pearl crane
#

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?

rigid anchor
#

in physics terms you would be using units such as "cubic meters per square meters" which is nonsense

pearl crane
#

am i right to say that?

pearl crane
#

why

rigid anchor
#

very strictly speaking 2d objects don't exist in 3d space in the first place

pearl crane
#

Exactly!

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

yk the formula for force of attraction?

rigid anchor
#

how or why is that even relevant now

pearl crane
#

In which F \propto 1/r^2

rigid anchor
#

why are you brining newtonian mechanics into this

pearl crane
#

trust me i am trying to explain something

#

of why i even got this idea

pearl crane
#

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?

rigid anchor
#

that is not how it works

#

again, you are interpreting newtonian mechanics and reaching incorrect conclusions

pearl crane
#

wait nvm this isnt a good example

#

there is gauss law for that sorry that wasnt a good example

rigid anchor
# pearl crane G \propto 1/r^2

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

pearl crane
#

But ive heard about blackholes that it diverges to infinity when r tends to 0

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
#

i learnt about something called Kretschmann scalar

#

I used that formula for blackholes divergence

rigid anchor
#

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

pearl crane
rigid anchor
#

that would imply you understand the theory

"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

rigid anchor
#

well, he hasn't made claims of solving any of the millenium problems ..yet
