The Mind Blowing Math 'Proof'
I always felt Math is a fun thing to play with, until recently someone showed me the following:
Prove: 1 + 2+4+8 + .... = -1
Proof:
1 + 2+ 4 + 8 + ... = (2-1) (1 + 2+ 4 + 8 + ...)
= 2*(1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ...) - ( 1 + 2 +4 + 8 + ....)
= 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + ..... - 1 -2 -4 - 8 - 16 - ..... [You can see, first 2 and later -2 canceled, etc]
= -1
So we just proved 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ... = -1.
Infinity is not a good thing. :-)
Funny math :)
Nice paradox!
