Welcome to my page!


Proof of 9 + 10 = 21

Credits to John Hush for the proof of $0 = 1$ and the proof of $1 = 2$


Prove: $0 = 1$

Proof:

Left side $= 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ...$

$= (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + (1 - 1) + ...$

$= 1 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + ...$

$= 1$

Therefore, $0 = 1$.


Prove: $1 = 2$

Proof:

Let $a = b$

$a^2 = ab$

$a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2$

$(a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b)$

$a+b = b$

$b+b = b$

$2b=b$

$2=1$

Therefore, $1 = 2$.


By the Transitive Property, $0 = 2$

Prove: $9 + 10 = 21$

Proof:

$9 + 10 = 19$

$9 + 10 = 19 + 0$

$9 + 10 = 19 + 2$

Therefore, $9+10 = 21$
