Does 0 = Infinity?
#3
RE: Does 0 = Infinity?
Yeah it's a pretty easy contradiction to show inductively, as well.

You can't assume something in a direct proof that is itself a contradiction, namely that zero has no mathematical meaning or purpose. As soon as you assume the negation, you are embarking on proving the contradiction.

EDIT: my bold
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
