Re "Fortunately, it is possible to prove this conjecture": No it ain't.
But your post reminded me of the Indian genius Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920). From Wiki: Ramanujan, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis. During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3,900 results (mostly identities and equations). Nearly all his claims have now been proven correct. What is extraordinary about Ramanujan is that he didn't prove his results he simply intuited them. He credited his acumen to his family goddess, Mahalakshmi of Namakkal. He looked to her for inspiration in his work and claimed to dream of blood drops that symbolised her male consort, Narasimha, after which he would receive visions of scrolls of complex mathematical content unfolding before his eyes. He often said, "An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God." Here's one of his spontaneous insights: Means nothing to me either. But he was obviously right clever. If I keep repeating my TM mantra will I come up with stuff like that? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : 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...
