* Let a=b.
* Square both sides: a¦=b¦
* a¦-b¦=0 ... [1]
* (a+b)(a-b)=0 ... [2]
* a¦-b+b=0
* a¦-a+b=0 ... a=b, so substitute a instead of b.
* a(a-b)=0 ... [3]
* [2] and [3] are the same expressions: a(a-b)=(a+b)(a-b)
* divide both sides by (a-b): a=a+b
* a equals b: a=a+a
* divide both sides by a, 1=1+1
* 1=2
* Therefore, 1+1=1+2=3

However, this does not work because if you divide by (a-b), since a = b, you are dividing by 0; and division by 0 is undefined.

Don't care.

Try the Schr÷dinger equation instead.

This line is where the error is in case anyone was wondering.

Its because 0 is undefined ;)

0 is 0. It's division by 0 that's undefined

1+1=3

Let me show you how =)

a = b
1 = 1
a(a-b)=(a-b)(a+b)

That last line is not true afaik, and also later on you devide by zero.
According to what we agreed apon as the laws of math.

You said a=b and then you divide by a-b? Dividing by zero is bad mmmkay?

See post 9

I was just kind enough to skip right to the end instead of providing the supporting math.

I was still reasoning my reply before sending it, you posted the awnser in the meantime, and yes when A and B are 1, then you can pull off the trick at line 3
My bad :)

Here's one for the topologists.

What do you get when you glue two moebius strips together along their edges (remember a moebius stip only has one edge)? Assume their material is as bendy and strechy as you like.
