Here it is:
a = b
a squared = ab
a squared - b squared = ab-b squared
(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b = b
2b = b
2 = 1
This may seem confusing to you, as it confuses me. But it kind of, sort of makes sense.
But what if there was a different, maybe better way to prove this theory? I have a theory of my own.
1 is a unique number, because it isn't prime. The Bolivia Salt Flats are extremely unique. Bolivia is the 28th largest country in the world. North Carolina is the 28th biggest state in the U.S. Krispy Kreme Doughnut was founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. There are 812 Krispy Kreme shops in the nation. The year 812 A.D. was a leap year. Leap year began in 46 B.C. created by Julius Caesar and the Julian Calender. The Julian Calender is currently 13 days behind the modern Gregorian Calender. The Gregorian Calender is the most widely accepted calender, but is considered the unofficial global standard. Christmas in July is an unofficial world holiday. July is the 7th month in the year. There are 7 wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one still standing today. Egypt became a province of Rome in 30 B.C. The Roman Empire lasted an estimated 500 years. The square root of 500 is ~22.36. Fun-Size Snickers Bars are 11.18oz each. Divide 22.36 by 11.18, and you get 2. Coincidence? I don't think so.
1=2, proven with 2 very factual methods.
I like the way you think and I enjoyed the adventure I took with the 2nd part of your post. Magnificent! For the first part, if we assume that a = b, then when we subtract them we get zero. Having zero in this equation makes things a little interesting because at one point you have to divide by zero. This voids the conclusion that 2 = 1, but it is a very interesting method of looking at tricking people into believing it's true. Thanks for sharing!
