You get any answer you want out of an algebraic formula if you just throw a zero in it—if you throw a slippy zero in it that says 1 – 1 = 2.
It can be worked out so it will: 1 – 1 = 2, because 1 – 1 is zero.
slippy:1. slippery, meaning, that cannot be relied upon as lasting or as certain.
Probably what I am quoting doesn't make much sense out of context, but my question, has to do with the "slippy" or "slippery"
I would tend to translate it as "resbaladizo" "escurridizo", but could also be "engañoso".
Any opinions and/or ideas on the matter are welcome.
(Don't get involved in the Eintein's time formula to talk to me about the philosophical connotations of "zero time")
