How can anyone with an IQ above 130 take infinities seriously?

How can anyone with an IQ above 130 take infinities seriously? Ever since my first undergrad math class I realised that any use of "infinity" in mathematics is logically incoherent. Any use of infinity constantly comes to absurd conclusions like 1+2+3... = -1/12. Seriously when are mathematicians going to stop falling for the infinity meme?

yeah... Get out, archon brainlet. Mathematics is the domain of the enlightened.

The "conclusion" that the naturals sum to -1/12 is not a literal truth of infinite sums. All mathematicians agree that in the usual sense of summation, [math]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty n[/math] is a divergent series and hence cannot have a meaningful value assigned to it via a limit of partial sums. (Which is the intuitive sense in which a human usually means or interprets an infinite sum.)

In this particular case, there is an alternative scheme of assigning values to the class of infinite series [math]\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^a[/math] for most complex values of [math]a[/math] (namely the value of the analytic continuation of Riemann's zeta function at [math]-a[/math] if it exists) which:

1. agrees with the convergent-series-get-their-value assignment scheme, and
2. has useful number-theoretic properties.

It is fallacious to take a result from mathematics out of context. Of fucking course you are liable to come to ridiculous conclusions about something if you start your reasoning with a falsehood.

Wow its almost like you dont understand what you are saying or reading.

According to your graphic anything above 130 is enlightened, and thats what he said.

IQ>130 doesn't include 130.

Go back to your coloring books.
