I know how to make something into nothing but I am still stymied about how to turn nothing into something. This second attribute apparently being the domain of the divine.
As proof of the first assertion I offer –
1. To each and every assign a number and then sum.
2. This mental construction is approached by taking the sum of all the known integers. They being infinite and all that is being infinite.
3. Quick reflection suggestions – 1 + -1 = 0, 2 + -2 = 0, n + -n = 0, n=4,5,6,…
4. The sum of all known integers is naught
5. All = naught
6. QED
The above proof states that the sum of everything is nothing.
The above proof suggestions that in order to get something from nothing, something has to vanish, such that in the sequence of sums n + 0 = n, instead of n + -n = 0.
As with all proofs there is something wrong with the above. As with all proofs the bete noire is in the assumptions. In the above proof it is being assumed that all that is is infinite. Reflection suggestions that this might not be true.
Not bad for a bonehead.
Snapping out,
