/sci/ - Science & Math

pbuh...

So smart that he wrote a whole book about his inability to grasp basic differential calculus way after Cauchy, who had provided a completely rigorous and clear account of the subject, had died.
One of the gems of the book is the chapter "0 is not a number".
Seriously, look up the book. It's called "The Metaphysical Principles of the Infinitesimal Calculus". It's fucking hilarious.

Glad /lit/ finally spilled over

I wouldn't say destroyed science, more like destroyed the bs pseudoscience pushed by the kiked Masonic Institutions in the west ie gravity and relativity

>>11551799
zero is not a number dipshit, it is a concept

>>11551799
Sounds like a pretty smart guy to be fair.

>>11552083
all numbers are concepts in that case, which is true, but defeats the purpose of your entire post

>>11552083
Interesting position anon. What is the difference between a number, and a concept?

>>11551489
Holy... Based...

no they aren't the number of sides on a cube are not a concept, they are values. All numbers have specific functions in this reality, how there is no zero, there is only the appearance of zero in the 3rd dimension. You didn't reduce it to zero because it was made of energy, the energy wasn't destroyed it simply transformed (1st law of thermodynamics). The energy (aether) can never be zero therefor there is no zero value.

Everything is made from "something" (prima materia), you can't turn something into nothing you can only turn it into something else.

That's like saying there's no true 1 or 5 or 10 because there are no integers in nature, integers are platonic. I have 1 grain of rice because I have decided that the blurry amalgamation of molecules that makes up what I believe to be a grain of rice has been arbitrarily assigned the integer 1. 1 what?

>>11552177
No it isn't like that all anon, 1 is a value as I said, yes there are measures of distance and sides of figures in geometry, these are not arbitrarily assigned, they are real measurable things that always exist as for the rest, yes you are getting it, everything outside of distance and sides of shapes is completely arbitrary but I don't think you understand how you proved my point rather than yours.

>>11552167
Yes and if you've turned something into something else - let's say 3 apples into 1 apple pie, how much of the original material do you have left over? 0 apples. How is that not a number? Kys

the balls

>>11552707
I already said it is a concept anon, an apple is also a concept. What is an apple made of? Just because you called this fruit made of all these different components an apple doesn't make it anything other than energy at its core. Changing the structure of the energy only turns it into something you call an apple in the third dimension. You already mentioned this anon you are back tracking. You never turned 3 apples into zero apples other than conceptually it didn't happen physically because the apples are only a concept for one and for two you can't have a zero value outside of your third dimension conceptualizations. I know it is hard to understand when you are always used to thinking materialistically from this dimension but I can link an old thread where I explained it all in pretty deep detail if you want me to link it let me know.

Be warned /sci/, geunonfag is autism on a level you'll rarely see. I would like to apologize on behalf of /lit/ for not keeping this granny-killing pizza deliveryman contained.
