Math is the weirdest thing ever

 Mathematics is among the most odd of things. TREE(1) = 1, TREE(2) = 3, but TREE(3) equals a number so big if I copy-pasted it in this blog post, my Chromebook would die out. Here are some other cool tidbits: Pi's infinite milestones Pi is an irrational number, and it's just like the Library of Babel, containing every possible sequence of numbers. And let's be honest - your phone number is nested in there somewhere... but math was discovered, not invented. So, did God invent pi, by any chance, with the intent of putting your number on the 1,424,936,256,286,337th digit of pi? No, it's all random digits that don't truly end. And like I said, nobody, not even God, invented math: it was instead, discovered. And going back to the first sentence, assuming we can convert numbers to letters through alphanumerization (e.g. a=1, b=2, c=3, j=10, y=25, z=26), this means that pi has every piece of text that was written, is currently being written, will be written, and will never...

Proof x = 1 with no prior determining

I'll try and prove that x = 1 without a question to solve. Here we go. The number line is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, you get the idea. But we will only pick 1 and 2. Let's add them in one group: [1, 2]. Now add 3 and 4: [3, 4]. [x, y] [z, w] will equal (x * y) * (z * w) in this case. Swap 2 and 1, because if we don't we will unconsciously determine, x equals 1. We need to make this a long-term effort instead of determining x = 1 in one minute and thirty-three seconds. So, (2 * 1) * (3 * 4). Now, let's start with 2 * 1, which is 2. The rule is, x * 1 = x (no exceptions). 3 * 4 is 12. 12 * 2 is 24. But 24 doesn't equal 1. That's where we up the ante. Let [2, 1] [3, 4] = y. Let [2,1]^[3,4] = z. In most cases of algebra, x * y = z, but this time, y * z = x. We know y = 24. Since [2,1] is 2 and [3,4] is 12, we get 2^12. We multiply two by itself, then the new answer twelve times. So: 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096 So z = 4096. In which case, y * z, or 24 * 4096 does n...
