E's "proof" was and is an algebra problem. Indeed, other than the symbol "phi(v)" itself, there is NO calculus in it at all. Instead of arguing with me over these minor details J. Waldof, please look at the thread called OOPS, says "Androcles" and PLEASE post a reply to it. glird

Indeed, other than the > symbol "phi(v)" itself, there is NO calculus in it at all. true the proof is algebraic, what I'm referring to is your assumptions about phi(v) itself, what it is, where it comes from, what it means. You're assumptions are completely wrong so you draw the wrong conclusions, the main one being you think E's proof is defective. > > Instead of arguing with me over these minor details J.

My conclusion re the defect in E's algebraic "proof" that f(!) = 1 has nothing to do with the meaning of phi(?) or where it comes from of what it means. > > Instead of arguing with me over these minor details J.

So, when you encounter something that is incomprehensible to you, despite it being comprehensible to hundreds of thousands of other people, rather than treat it as an opportunity to learn something you just assume it's nonsense and go back to spinning your wheels in you own little tiny universe. you are pitiable. > > > > please look at the thread called > > > OOPS, says "Androcles" > > > and PLEASE post a reply to it. > > > I thought about.

Hundreds of millions of people have never understood the mechanism of gravity or what light physically is or what a photon is or how an atom reacts with transient light in a quantum reaction. I do. Rather than investigate my explanations, you just assume they are nonsense, and ignorantly ignore them. glird |
