if 4 =1, then 1=4

[SuperSanman123]

its 4

cms271828: very intelligent comment. I noticed that you've used the notion of equivalence relations (symmetry, transitivity, reflexivity,etc.)! Your comment was correct and I must say much more intelligent that the video posted above!!

yall just mad you got it wrong XD

[cms271828]

The point is 1 does not equal 4, under the standard definition of equality.

If we exchange =l symbol for ~ relation.

Then 1 ~ 4 2 ~ 16 3 ~ 64

But who said ~ was symmetric,( a ~ b if and only if b ~ a ) ?

So we cannot assume 4 ~ 1

Also we cannot state for sure that 4 ~ 256, but this appears to follow the pattern.

Question is flawed.

if 1 = 4 and 2=16 and 3=64 then 4 could bloody well = 256 or any other random symbol. since = doesent mean equal anymore.

The simple point being that "1=4" does not mean "4=1". Your argument is that it DOESN'T cause a contradiction, when in fact "1=4" does UNLESS you assume that the original 1,2,3, and 4 on the left of the equal signs are just placeholders for variables... otherwise you're left with 1 and 4, which have specific and different values in mathematics, holding the same value.

Long story short: This video was made by a child and anyone who thinks they're clever with this is also a child

[goodluckpeace44]

It has good taste, because if 4=64 then it will have a contradiction. In mathematics anything can happen if it doesnt cause a contradiction ithin the theory, usualy if 1=4 then 64=1 also.

[idiotshowdown]

... That's incorrect. This video is childish.

Its just a little bit of fun. Don't take it so seriously
