That is where the analogy breaks down. The neutral element for addition (⨁) emptyfluid is not the absorbing element for multiplication (⨂). It is again a neutral element, while it should absorb.
I think I've been out-trolled.

Re: 0 is not a number

5 * 0 = 0. Multiplying any number by zero results in zero. So, zero is said to "absorb" the multiplication. This is a characteristic of the neutral element for the addition. Right. And a roll of paper towels absorbs spills. So I'm asking you if you are saying that 0 is like a roll of pape...

Re: 0 is not a number

Take for example the natural numbers and its canonical axiomatization: So you refuse to engage with what I said? You said 0 is the absorbing element. I asked you if that means 0 is like a roll of paper towels. And you refuse to engage. Do paper towels absorb or not? And if they do, how do they diff...

Re: A mathematical perspective on the phenomenon of "miracles"

See, I could start off providing something like this, which by the way I could and would back up and support, fully. But, this may not be what you were really wanting nor seeking here, at all, nor even partially. So, until you are very clear, and specific, with and about what 'it' is, exactly, that...

Re: A mathematical perspective on the phenomenon of "miracles"

But these two can be explained. Although one may be far simpler and easier than the other is to explain, and be understood. Ok, please explain them to me. The existence of everything, for example, is about one of the most simplest and easiest things to fully understand, and explain, whereas conscio...

None. The Republicans are squishes. Deep down they just want to be liked, and all the cool kids hate them. When they're in power they don't do anything at all.

12 minutes of Democrats claiming the 2016 election was stolen. It's ridiculous for me to need to document the fact that many Democrats made this claim after the 2016 election but here you go.

I take what you said as empty rhetoric having no factual basis. That many Democrats thought the 2016 election was stolen? Are you making a bad joke?
