S3, What's interesting about this result is that this golden nugget also appears in the Superstring Theory, as the video mentions. Personally, it's interesting because this is somehow related to the 12 houses in Astrology and the Dwadashamsa, or the 12th division of the main birth chart as explained in Jyotish.
Also, the paradox is that if you add the numbers on your calculator and stop before you reach infinity, you get a very large number, but NOT -1/12. You have add up the numbers up to infinity. Fortunately, it is possible to prove this conjecture through Mathematics. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <s3raphita@...> wrote : Total cobblers. OK - it's fun, but one of the first things you learn studying series in maths is to watch out for divergent series. A divergent series is an infinite series that is not convergent (duh!), so that the sequence of partial sums of the series does not have a finite limit. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : N= 1+2+3...infinity In would be intuitive to say that the answer would be infinity. But NO, the answer is actually -1/12, also called the golden nugget. Here's the proof: ASTOUNDING: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... = -1/12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww ASTOUNDING: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... = -1/12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-I6XTVZXww Read this too: http://www.bradyharanblog.com/blog/2015/1/11/this-blog-probably-wont-help EXTRA ARTICLE BY TONY: http://bit.ly/TonyR...
