Watch this entire video to understand what's going on.

Essentially, map the output of the riemann zeta function and notice its only defined for when the real part of s is greater than one.

The leap mathematicians do is say "well look at this graph, it makes an abrupt stop because we ran out of inputs. Let me reflect the graph vertically and now I have outputs for all complex numbers."

They literally just make up a mapping that LOOKS right because they just reflect the mapping function accross a vertical axis and say "there you go, everything is defined" and suddenly you get a lot of ridiculous formulas.

This is simply a useful mathematical tool, nothing more. Infinity doesn't equal -1/12 unless you suspend reality and make up shit.
