I kind of agree with you. I have raised your questions myself seeking to find clear mathematical reference points to be able to determine physically recognizable values as human performance, knowledge, medically relevant information, space, time, energy, matter... I am sure you understand more than nothing. The question is do you understand what nothing is? So here is my Strategic Value Recognition paper I wrote to my Strategy exam at a Business School, which became quite personal at the end but I think it shows well what is the problem with the mathematical value recognition from a Nature lover, reality worshipper veterinarians point of view.

1x0 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I think I work on the most simple math in the know universe. 0 1 I always have a reference point to compare information to and I have to say it works awsome in the praxis because I understand my patients problems from any perspective while you can not clearly enough describe a simple mathematical axiomatisation supported with a physical example which I can not confute. So I am pretty fine wondering around about value recognition and try to understand how scientists recognize different values. I have the right to chat around, I learn(ed) the rules, it is a forum and I do not force anyone on anything, I ask questions and I make few suggestions which you can deny reasonably. I am all good with that. I am here to learn which is one purpose of life after all. Edited February 13, 2018 by 1x0

You don’t get to feed people nonsense like your 1*0=1 or undefined expression like 1/0 on a science site though.

Thank you,it is nice to know that I share this opinion with someone else.As for trying to find mathematical references points I struggle as much as you do(I'm assuming it since you mentioned you raised questions like mine).This is why I think maths are wrong-to a point.This might just be a perfunctory conclusion that I created but even though maths are tools that other aspects of science use,but they do not appear(to me at least) to have any sort of connection to reality.

Area54 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 @billasker May I presumptuous and give you a small piece of advice. While 1x0 is probably a throughly decent, hard working, nice human being his misunderstanding of maths is profound. This is not in itself a problem. As I noted earlier my grasp of maths is seriously deficient. The difference between myself and 1x0 is that I recognise my deficiencies and do not seek, in my ignorance, to declare that maths must be wrong because I cannot understand aspects of it. The points made by Koti and Strange, while they may seem harsh, are accurate.

Since this thread is already derailed by you into the realm of nonsense, why don’t you give us a mathematical proof of what you state in your paper: 1*0=1.

1x0 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Koti, you could define what 0 means in a mathematical result. Please on a way that me and my other 7 billion undereducated fellow earthlings with limited mental capabilities understand that too.

Strange Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) 17 minutes ago, 1x0 said: Multiplication is basically repeated addition. Not really. But if you want to use that naive approach, then: multiplying by 1 is adding 1 apple: the result is 1 apple multiplying by 2 is adding 1 apple and then adding 1 apple: result = 2 apples multiplying by 0 is not adding any apples: result = zero apples So stop promoting your crackpot maths. 17 minutes ago, 1x0 said: Koti, you could define what 0 means in a mathematical result.

Here is an explanation aimed at people who know as little as you: https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/zero.html They even have a children's explanation of dividing by zero: https://www.mathsisfun.com/numbers/dividing-by-zero.html (maybe this is too advanced for you, though).

Area54 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Well, we've all done a fine job of demonstrating to billasker what a childish bunch of argumentative twits grown ups are. Full marks to 1x0 for starting the avalanche rolling downhill, but our responses have not, in my opinion, helped. Consequently, I've reported one of the posts to draw attention of this train wreck to the mod team. And, yes, I know that 1x0 is talking misleading nonsense and that the counter arguments have been solid, but a single post to that effect should have been sufficient.

I will sleep better tonight knowing that a young mans mind was prevented from crap being fed into it.
Area54 Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Yes, I agree with you. I think my own posts on the thread show we have a similar position. It's just if you read through it, trying to put yourself in his shoes, we look like a bunch of squabbling twelve year olds and I wonder if he will distinguish between 1x0 and the rest of us.
1x0 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I think you should see the title of the topic in speculations and recognize why he has been placing the question at first hand. I hope your profound answers on the raised topic will really help him to trust from now on, the clarity of mathematics. Edited February 13, 2018 by 1x0

I generally am capable of refraining myself from posting in these kinds of threads but this time I failed. I sincerely hope though, that I will never have such advanced dementia that I will claim 1*0=1. Scary, isn't it.
