Disproof of math

Odradek

If you add one puddle to another puddle, you get one puddle.

Calica

This is a contradiction.  Therefore, it is impossible to add puddles.

Do puddles contradict themselves? Oceans are large, they contain multitudes of puddles

Puddles are like infinities, you add two and you just get the same thing again.

If you have a small circle, you get pi.

But then you get a bigger circle and you still get pi.

Math confirmed for bogus.

Morven

But what fruit is the pi made from?  Shit's important.

Tanya

Well now you're just being obtuse.

Mandelbrot

I don’t think I need to spend much time on infinity. Infinitus est numerus stultorum. It suffices to point out that you cannot show me infinity of anything whatsoever. Since everything is finite, including every number, putting them all together will still not get you to infinity. According to math (and also its feisty sidekick, the English language), the number before infinity would be known as the “penultimate” in the series of all numbers. So in my opinion, the last number in the number line is the penultimate.

There is also a convenient common sense method for refuting infinity. If there were infinite numbers, then the Universe couldn’t fit them all in. But clearly the Universe does fit them all in, by the transitive property. It fits our brains, and our brains fit all the numbers. Please see William Lane Craig on this point, for further discussion

Adding puddles is more like adding sets.

If you can make knot-shaped puddles, you have bigger things to worry about than accidentally disproving math.  Or bigger things to enjoy than accidentally disproving math.

Calica

I was actually thinking about modules, not knots.

Bee

I had to think about what you meant by that because I'm a programmer and my modules are considerably less abstract than yours.
