So, I've been thinking about my relationship with my partner. There is 'me','her' and 'us', which equals 3. I experience 'me' and 'her', which is only 2.

'Us' is the other 1.

So my experience is only 2/3 of the reality. And that is .666 ! Is this what Revelations is really telling us ?

We've been taught wrong !

I did your equation myself.

Simplify 9X + X = Y

Combine like terms: 9X + X = 10X 10X = Y

Solution 10X = Y

Solve variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '10'. X = 0.1Y Simplify again. X = 0.1Y

But it means absolutely bugger all.

I can't help but be reminded of this:

So... Ladybug dreamed of an actual sexually deviant form of math?

Every time I think I have seen of everything...

Maybe it was stupid. Sorry ok. Ok, ok, it was really stupid. But basically i just came to the conclusion, that really the number one is the only number that exist. And if i break ONE pencil in half...they are NOT TWO. 'TWO' is just a representation of ANOTHER one. And its not really two HALVES. Its just one, and one, smaller in size than the original one. Thats it. Thats just all there is to it. Sorry i wasted precious time on it.

When I type in "number line" in Google Images, this is one of the first images I get:

But, there is nothing to be sorry about.

Don't say that.

You weren't the first to have such breakthroughs. In the future, you might want to look at those who have though similarly to you. You aren't the first to have problems with zero. Even within recent centuries ideas fundamental to calculus (infinitesimals) or complex analysis (imaginary numbers) have been derided. Heck, negative numbers were at one time derided.

I would just avoid reinventing the wheel. This has been thought over and over again by better minds than you or I. We should check what has been done to prevent ourselves from trying to rehash old territory.

But all men are created equal. No mind mor or less capable than the next. Each mind containing thier own free will however, to think what they want. Some of us except others idea, theory, and even beliefs as possibly true, while holding thier own system firm. Others would rather die than try to simply understand, even only momentarily.

Now please, with an open mind, follow this for a moment:
1 is the only number.
2 represent 1 and another 1.
If i have a pencil, and its chopped in half...i have 1 and another 1. (Smaller, but still 1's) and so forth.
If i have two pens. 1 pen, and another 1 pen. And i super glue them together (or melt them together, whatever) i have still have 1. (Just it grew in size essentially)
Now...if i NEVER HAD A PENCIL, OR A PEN. NEVER SAW ONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, NEVER HEARD OF ONE, IT DOES NOT EXIST TO ME EVEN IN MY MIND...how would i know that i have 0?? I wouldnt. I couldnt imagine zero of anything if i never ever knew it was there.

On the otherhand, if i have 1 pencil, and it got stolen...then i have -1 pencils. Not zero. If it exists at all, its never zero.

Now, on the true thought of all this...we as humans cant come from nothing. Infact, the whole universe had to start with something. Why not simply just 1?? 1 is the first, and the last. If we all came from 1...then we are smaller 1's. Each human a 1. (A whole). Just smaller than that very first 1 that broke and split into a million other 1s.

So does 'God' exist?? Are we all really equal?? Did we come from nothing??

THINK!

And fine. Say zero is a number. How do you suppose we came to be from that??

WAKE UP!

If I promised you a flying pink unicorn, but didn't deliver, how many flying pink unicorns would you have?

But that pencil is made up of (roughly) 51,898,920,151,726,200,000,000 atoms. Not just one atom split 51,898,920,151,726,200,000,000 times.

Do more research!! Im not kidding...its all about the atom. You will find answers.
Everything can be explained with the most simple of the simple. The origin is not complex.
We just became that way the smaller and further away we became from the 1 simple truth.

It actually IS one atom split a butt-load of times! All individual atoms, that actually where split from one. Research it. It wont fail you.

By the way the word: 'conscience' means 'with science'. :)

Ok, so. If there were 50000 pencils in the world, and I hold 1 of them, I really have -49999 pencils.

Does this mean that I am roughly -6499999999 persons?

Yes. But the other 6499999999 persons are present, and accounted for. So you are not a - anything! You are still 1! Get it yet?
