More of a but seriously...

 

There is no more basic math to discover or disprove. It's law.

 

 

*edit*

Or else someone like Stephen Hawking would have done it before you were born.

 

 

*2nd edit*

Because they already did.

The title intrigued me. I had to look.

 

I think you might have done something wrong. Something as simple as this cannot be unnoticed.

It turns out that the theorem √ab = √a√b is only valid if a and b are both positive, which is not true here

You broke too many rules to count. Just at the beginning..

 

1 + 1

0 = 1 + √1

That would have to be:

0 = √1 + √1

wrong!

It is the same thing though

You can't just sqrt one and not the other. Has to be everything. The 0, and both 1s.

ok...

 

1 + 1

= √1 + √1

= √1 + √[(-1)(-1)]

= √1 + √(-1)√(-1)

= √1 + i^2

= √1 + (-1)

= √1 - 1

= 0

Don't forget the +/- infront of each radical ;P

Also,

√n != √n/2 + √n/2

√8 != √4 + √4 TROLOLLPOLLOLOLOLOLOL

√n = √(n/2 + n/2)

You can't disprove 1+1=2, because it's a definition. It doesn't require a proof because it is a predefined axiom of arithmetic.

It might not be right but its a cool way to look at things :P

I knew it!

False

Ily Jason but this is the intelligent debate section.

Nothing is finite. How do you even know that 1 + 1 = anything? How do you know that you know the stuff that you think you know? Because in reality, the only that that you know for certain is that you exist: "I think, therefore I am." Everything else, you can never know for certain. It could all be fake.

 

Now I ask you two questions. See if you can answer them.

 

1. What are numbers?

 

2. Why does math apply to the real world?
