0=1 (Interesting Math Proof!)

This is an interesting math proof. There is obviously a mistake in it, and I will make a video soon explaining what it is, but for now try to figure it out!

Sorry for the poor narration and boring voice.

when u shifted the parenthesis u just changed (1-1) to (-1+1). u added 1 but only to the right side which is impossible

[nikosDmark]

stupiiiiid u forgot one fucking -1 at the end this is why u have 0=1

0 + 0 + 0 + 0... = 0*infinity and zero times infinity does not equal zero.

If zero times infinity equaled zero, line segments would not exist. That is because a line segment contains an infinite amount of points of zero length, and 0*infinity must equal the length of the line.

If that doesn't convince you, look up what 0*infinity equals on other websites.

And one more thing. You say you will make a video soon explaining the flaw, but it's been almost two years and you didn't make one!

You added a 1.

[kdmq]

If the list was finite, shifting the parentheses would have resulted in a -1 all by itself at the end which compensates for the +1 at the beginning. But since there was no end to this set, this last -1 didn't exist. This is actually a mathematical proof that the associative property doesn't apply to an infinite expression. LOL

@t007ray infinity - infinity = infinity. lmfao

this is similar for if there was an odd number of 0's. so after showing that we know no matter how matter how many 0's you add to the equation you're either going to have an even number or an odd number of 0's at any given time so your result will ultimately be 0 no matter how big you make it
