You can just remove 2^n?

Nothing, necessarily.

M=sigma(0,infinity) 2^n*[Mo / (2^n(n+1)]
M=sigma(0,infinity) *[Mo / ( (n+1)]
M=sigma(0,infinity) Mo /(n+1)
M=sigma(0,infinity) Mo/(n+1)
M= integrate(0,infinity) Mo/(n+1)
M = Mo/(infinity+1) - Mo/ (0+1)
M= 0 - Mo
M=Mo

Thus stupid gibberish to make non maths go ZOMG's

>To work out the ridiculous brain switching plot line from last night’s hilarious episode, writer Ken Keeler (who also just happens to have a PhD in mathematics) ended up writing and proving an entirely new theorem. This is probably the most impressive bit of side work from a TV writer since a writer of Desperate Housewives discovered a new species or the staff of Full House developed a vaccine for a specific strain of syphilis.

Science is the objective investigation of the world, and so far you've done nothing but rely on appeals to authority, social bias and personal attacks, all while having the sheer gall to demand that OTHERS live up to the principles of objectivity.

Do you know what the word "hypocrite" means? You're worse than the damn fundies, at least they're representing something that's already false. You're just a phony.
