From: Archimedes Plutonium on 5 Mar 2010 14:55 This book started, of course with correcting Euclid's Infinitude of Primes Proof. A correction that the mathematics community has been blind in seeing ever since Euclid penned his proof some 2 thousand years ago. The error of not knowing the difference between direct and indirect proof. And it shows that too many people in mathematics are woefully lacking in logic. If I remember correctly, of about 40 surveyed Infinitude of Primes Proof given in textbooks, only 3 of them had no mistakes. And the majority of offered proofs made their error in not knowing that Euclid's number (multiply the lot and add 1) was necessarily prime in the indirect. And most in mathematics would not understand it even after reading this book. Then this book progressed to the point where the central theme of the book was to Correct the definition of "finite-number". But in order to correct the definition, the problem was that in the entire history of mathematic, there was never offered a precision definition of finite-number and that every mathematician from Pythagoras to Plutonium had assumed a definition of "finite-number". Failing to do the first job required of a mathematician-- make a precision definition. The assumed definition for the most part of math history is a definition that is very cloudy and foggy and it goes like this: The number 94 is finite becuase it ends in a string of zeroes leftward such as .....0000094. That was the surveyed consensus I took of college math professors in the 1990s. That to them, finite- number meant a leftward string of repeating zeroes. Of course the concept of FrontView with BackView is new to mathematics, since I discovered it recently and this FrontView would then proceed to question numbers like 09999.....9994 as to whether that is a finite number or an infinite number since it obeys the assumed-definition of a leftward string of 0s, only one 0 in this case. So there was a logjam of finding a precision definition of finite- number. And the logjam was broken when I realized that Geometry already had a precision definition of finite-line versus infinite-line and I could use that precise definition in geometry to find a precision definition of finite-number versus infinite-number. The result of which was the Finite Selection Theorem. And where I pulled in Physics, like never before in mathematics, to make that final selection as the largest number in physics of the Planck Unit 10^500 as the Coulomb Interactions of element 109. And this book and the other book of mine of AP-adics has several proofs concerning the issue of Finite versus Infinite. Sample of some of the proofs given in this book and my AP-adics book: (1) Finite-Selection Theorem (2) Infinity means "negative numbers" written as infinity=negative- numbers (3) Endlessness, infinity, forever, nonstopping, are concepts that are fictional and impossible to exist, and written as infinity- not=endless (4) Cartesian Coordinate System needs revision where Euclidean is only the 1st quadrant of all positives (5) A line in Elliptic and Hyperbolic geometry are beaded lines to accomodate the positive and negative numbers (6) The axiom of betweeness in math is contradictory and leads to a larger than 180 degree triangle in Euclidean geometry (7) The Peano axioms for Natural Numbers need total revision so as to correctly distinguish between finite and infinite number (8) Algebra is only good for about 10% of all the numbers that exist since multiplication is narrowed when 10^500 is the largest finite number. (9) Physics is the dominant science and math is the servant subset of Physics. The above are just a broad sampling of the proofs found in this book and the AP-adics book. Proofs that I gave in various detail or lack of details. Those proofs that have a lack of detail, I was satisfied in my own mind that the proof was true and leave it to future generations to add details. The most detailed proof of mine is the correcting of Euclid's Infinitude of Primes Proof and spent nearly the entire book on those details. So that if I were to plunge into details of every one of my proofs, they would also be a full book in and of itself. I do not know when the next time I will return, if ever, to mathematics book revision for I have a backlog of science books to write. I said most everything and covered most everything on mathematics that was bothering me in 1991. And I am extremely happy it ended with alot of new discoveries, a furtherance of Eucl geom = Elliptic unioned Hyperbolic geometries, and a first time ever in math, a precision definition of Finite-Number as the largest Planck Unit number coupled with infinity=negative- numbers. In these last pages I am going to include odds and ends to help me remember if and when I return to these two books.
