I asked an atheist friend this question. His answer went something like this: ''01=1, or, nothing to the power of 1 equals potential.'' What do I know? Am I a mathematician? This atheist went to the Sorbonne.1over137 wrote:Why is there something rather then nothing?

Yes. And of course the answer to 00 is most certainly NOT = 1, it is undefined (indeterminate). It is the same as division by zero (basic arithmetic).1over137 wrote:He probably said 00 = 1. http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/10005.3-5.shtmlFurstentum Liechtenstein wrote:I asked an atheist friend this question.

But here's a curve ball, not all division by zero is indeterminate, in some very specific cases a value can be assumed (though not actually computed).Byblos wrote:Yes.

He probably said 10 now that I think of it...because that work better with what I remember him saying afterwards,Byblos wrote:Yes. And of course the answer to 00 is most certainly NOT = 1, it is undefined (indeterminate). It is the same as division by zero (basic arithmetic).
...although he must have said, ''Potential to the power of zero = 1'' (x0=1) He then went into a monologue where he tried to explain his idea but my eyes must have glazed over because I don't remember anything else.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote: ''01=1, or, nothing to the power of 1 equals potential.''
10=1, nothing controversial about that. I think he was trying to be cute with 00=1 implying from nothing something comes. Except he's an idiot (mathematical or otherwise). Anything0=1 but there's an exception, that being 00=indeterminate, however, with its own exceptions. E.g. graphing the function x/y where x=y. On the diagonal line x=y the answer of the function x/y is always = 1 (1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc). But what happens at the point of origin where both x and y = 0 (i.e. 0/0)? The answer is not indeterminate; in that particular case where x=y we can actually assume the answer is also = 1 in keeping with all other values along the same line.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:<1over137 wrote:He probably said 00 = 1. http://www.math.hmc.edu/funfacts/ffiles/10005.3-5.shtml

Anyway...is his idea worth anything? It sounded like Soviet accounting to me.

An idiot?...no, he's an atheist. Ps14:1 doesn't apply because he has a few doctorates from the Sorbonne and is an editor for a sci-fi magazine. He doesn't earn any money from his job but lives thanks to his wife who goes to work and earns real money. It takes brains to get a woman to support you for 25+ years while you sit at home and do diddly-squat all day long. I'm not that smart. Are you?Byblos wrote:Except he's an idiot (mathematical or otherwise).
I stand corrected, he's only a mathematical idiot . Although I do plan to retire soon on my wife's new business .Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:An idiot?...no, he's an atheist. doesn't apply because he has a few doctorates from the Sorbonne and is an editor for a sci-fi magazine.

Who's the idiot now???
