    Numbers are names for quantities. Simple quantities need just one number, for example, dollars in your pockets or gallons of water or feet of wire.
    Rectangular areas are a bit more complex quantities and require 2 numbers, side A and side B. Multiplying AxB gives something that is called an invariant in units^2.
    Space-time is also a quantity, and to name it, you will need 16 numbers.
    Simple quantities require only one number, e.g. "The quantity of fingers in a hand = 5 fingers." The invariant is also 5 (the information about the object matches the name), that is why fingers^2 doesn't make any sense.
    PI is a quantity that is different. Our current mathematical system can't give PI an exact numerical name - 3.141......never ends, it is irrational.
    The fun fact is that the vast majority of quantities are irrational, and our numerical system can't give them a definite symbol.
    There is nothing wrong saying that 1x1=2, the problem what quantity in nature follows that?

      Thanks for making me think and learning something. Your last sentence o think is unreasonable, if you can't make a reasonable case for something that exists and is described by 1X1 = 2 then you have just expressed a fantasy that is unnecessary, unjustified and unreasonable. Sure you can have your fantasy bit it contributes nothing. An infinite number of such claims can be made and nothing interesting or valuable will be made....imo.

    Sometimes in science and engineering we bend the math to make it work. Example: The Dirac Delta function has a width of 0, an height of 1, and an area of 1...So, in this case 1 x 0 = 1.

    • @rafaelgonzalez4175
      @rafaelgonzalez4175 Před 6 dny

      I would ask, if zero is zero is it part of the equation? Width is 1 multiplied by height 1 multiplied by 0? 1 x 1 x 0 = 1 0 x 1 x 1 = 1. This is where Howard got me The side is one. The height is one. That should be two dimensions, Top and side. If there is a top there is a bottom. the side is the side. All sides are equal. Width can not be zero. from one side to the other. If there is a left side there must be a right side.

      @@meraldlag4336 Sometimes, in more informal or qualitative discussions, the Dirac delta function is described as having a height of 1, since that's the total area under the curve. However, in a strict mathematical sense, the height of the function at the point of interest is actually infinite. In either case, the height x width equal 1, which defies conventional math rules.

    There is no problem inventing a new mathmatics. Go ahead and do that, but don't condemn another math (ours) which has worked flawlessly for thousands of years. However, good luck inventing the 1x1=2 math and making it consistent over all of your selected symbols and processes.

  • @williamviolette4555
    @williamviolette4555 Před 6 dny

    I did not watch the other video but one thought that was provoked. Is there a difference between performing real-world math and writing math without units? In practice, writing 1 x 1 = 1 might make sense, but how does this change when units are involved? Seems like Mike eluded to this theory.

    • @meraldlag4336
      @meraldlag4336 Před 5 dny +1

      if you have done some algebra, you'll understand that 3a * 4b is 12ab. The same applies with units. So no, the actual numerical result doesn't change but you might get different units

      Listen, it is exactly as the words read. This isn’t hard.
      1 x 1. One, one time. It equals 1.
      2 x 1. Two, one time. It equals two.
      1 x 2. One, two times. Also two.
      2 x 2. Two, two times. Equals Four.
      You don’t have 1 apple times 1 apple. It doesn’t work like that. Times is for working with groups. Multiplication is for grouping things. Say you have boxes of apples. 5 apples in each box. But you only have 1 box. 5 x 1 means you have 5 apples. Have two boxes? Now you have ten apples.
      You don’t multiply objects like apples with other apples. You add objects together. Multiplication is just shorthand for many addition operations. 5 + 5 + 5 = 3 x 5 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 or 15!

    • @MrRenosis
      @MrRenosis Před 9 dny +3

      Also, terry gets it wrong with multiplying by zero. He thinks 6 x 0 is 6 for a dumb reason. If your boxes of apples that an order you placed comes with 6 apples and this time the truck driver forgot to bring them, you got 6 zero times meaning you have zero apples. You need this type of negation and multiplication for proper accounting and all sorts of other things. If you earn $1000 a week and this month you worked zero weeks, you don’t suddenly have $4000 dollars. With Terry’s dumb system this is how it would work, there would be no way to express a null value.

      Multiplication is repetitive addition.
      1x1 is 1 because 1+0 is 1. You have 1 group of 1, so you just have the number you started with
      You have 1 group of 1.
      1x2 is 2 because
      1+1 is 2. 2 groups 1 of added together.
      6x.5 is 3 because.
      .5+.5+.5+.5+.5+.5 is 3
      One number tells you how many groups to add together in the other number tells you what number to add
      2x4 is literally 2+2+2+2
      Or 4+4. Both are 8.
      HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF WHAT MULTIPLYING A NUMBER ACTUALLY MEANS.
      You can take any multiplication problem and just turn it right back into an addition problem.
      Division is just repetitive subtraction by the way..

      If 1x1 is 2 then 1x2 isn't 2 unless you want to say that 1 equals 2.
      So I ask you. What's 1+1? 1+1 can be rewritten as 1x2
