🧵 Infinity = -1/12 proof

Imagine that you have an infinite pile of apples. So the number of apples is infinity. Now you divide all the apples into baskets so that you put one apple into one basket, two apples in a second basket, three apples in a third basket and so on. Now you have divided the apples into 1+2+3+4+5+... apples. But supposedly 1+2+3+4+5+... is equal to -1/12. This proves that infinity = -1/12.
By making the assumption that 1+2+3+4+5+... is equal to -1/12 like some people claim, what is wrong with this proof that infinity is equal to -1/12?

It's just one infinity.

Take the Grandi series, where -1 and 1 oscillate to infinity, this series is said to sum to 1/2 using Césaro's method, yet were we to construct a machine that performs this operation, the final state of this system might be more practically described as existing in superposition between -1 and 1.
Clever mathematic manipulations can inform you in the behavior of a system, but they are merely windows offering a transient perspective into the transfinite world - take them with a grain of salt.

Yes. /sci/ only has the same repertoire of the same 50 or so bot posts and those are the only things the tranitors won’t delete.
Say jjjj

it's like being a kid in a school where the teachers hate you. I feel so alive and validated. Maybe I'll get a tattoo.

Infinity is a collection of all numbers, not a series of additions dumbass,

Infinity is a human concept, not -1/12
The sum of a lot of -1s and 1s is 0, not half, that's basic arithmetric
Who comes up with this bullshit and why does he have to do it out of my taxes?
