1=0 and 1=2

1=0 & 1=2

Logical Paradoxes

Optical Illusions

The following are three mathematical proofs; in all three proofs, each step is justified by a mathematical rule or theorem.  Perhaps, when I have more time, I will write the justification (rule or theorem)  for each step next to each equation.  ‘Till then, challenge them as they are!

Way #1

a=0  
a^2=0  
a-a=0  
(a^2)-a=0  
\ a-a=(a^2)-a  
a=a^2  
a/a=(a^2)/a  
1=a   
\1=0    

 


Way #2

 

a=0  
a^2=0  
(a^2)-a=0  
a(a-1)=0  
(a(a-1))/a=0/a  
a-1=0  
\ a=1  
\ 1=0    

 


Way #3

 

assume a=2  
a-2=0  
a-2+1=0+1  
a-1=1  
if a-2=0, then  
(a-2)(a-1)=(0)(1)  
(a-2)(a-1)=0  
((a-2)(a-1))/(a-2)=0/(a-2)  
a-1=0  
a=1  
\1=2
