Re: MY FRIEND and i

Hard to beat Herbert for math but I do think that

Vilenkin's, Tucker and Niven's books are easier to learn from. Though, you could easily spend a lifetime on them!

Re: MY FRIEND and i

Friday: I found the person, but could not talk much
Saturday: He told that he has found errors in his proof ..... However, he will show that 0/0 = 1

By the time he gives it to you he will find holes in that one too.

Re: MY FRIEND and i

Lets be more considerate and open minded. It is infinitely possible that he could be of a higher order of intelligence and have the answer which we have been seeking.

Re: MY FRIEND and i

If that is so, we won't be able to understand his proof

Re: MY FRIEND and i

It is much more likely that his proof is flawed than that he is some alien with a big brain. No offence intended just stating the odds.

Re: MY FRIEND and i

Today, I saw his proof. Its too stupid. I was so mesmerised that I could 't point out the fallacy in it. But now I can sad

Hi Agnishom;

Well at least he did not turn out to be an alien.

Re: MY FRIEND and i

I am sure we can find an axiomatic system in which the proof is correct. smile

Re: MY FRIEND and i

I will leave the construction of that system to someone else. If they construct it we can then prove
1 = 2 = 3 = 4 = 5 = 6=...

would make things a lot simpler.

Hi Agnishom

Re: MY FRIEND and i

smile Very Good!

As you already know, I have behavioral problems and do things which others dislike without me being conscious about it
