It's a philosophically interesting question, but since it only works with zero it doesn't seem to have any practical purpose.

0=0 for the first.
But the second one, 2(undefined number)+2(undefined number) is NOT equal to 5(undefined number)
Is there a way to do the not equal to sign with a keyboard?

=/= is how I see most people do it.
2.4444444 + 2.4444444 = 4.888...
that's about the only way to make 2+2=5 that doesn't require an advanced degree that I'm aware of
And to be fair I"m not aware of a lot.
No, it does not.
2*0 = 0
2*0 + 2*0 = 0
5*0 = 0
2*0 + 2*0 = 5*0 = 0
Two of nothing is mathematically equivalent to nothing at all.

≠: gives you ≠ (but use a ; not a : at the end---I also italicized it to make it stand out )

You can't treat infinity like a number, it's an abstract concept.
Also 5*infinity= infinity.
It depends on how you view mathematical statements.
Do you see them as absolute laws, or descriptions of patterns that appear in nature?

In your original two equations:
T>2 * 0 + 2 * 0 = 5 * 0
T>2 * infinity + 2 * infinity = 5 * infinity
where you imply that the two are equivalent.
There is otherwise no apparent reason for pairing them.

This thread certainly teaches us something, but it isn't that 2+2=5.
The OP uses 0 undefined as a variable which would properly read 2x+2x=5.

Yeah, that too.

If the bible says 2+2= purple elephant, it must be true :slap:

Could 2 halves of an apple plus 2 pairs of apples = 5 apples?
In regards to the OP however, one cannot have any zeros.

Those are the not the same, so the equation above doesn't apply.

Yep, that also.

Yes, but when you try to get the original equation back by dividing with zero, you really don't get any meaningful answer. Try again.

no, it demonstrates that two of nothing added to two of nothing equals any number of nothing. because nothing is nothing, not something. Your argument is intellectually dishonest.
