1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯ = −1/12 [day 23]

- 1/12

A magnificent number.

The reason is that there is this;

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯ = −1/12

 

If I had life to do over again, I often think that I would be a physicist. I would want to work on the theoretical aspects of string theory. I find it so provocative that that I am almost tempted to take it up late in life.

There is such a gentleness to it, that it is exciting and  attractive to me.

I am not the only one that thinks that.

  1. Me too. I just love thinking about things like the nano seconds before the big bang and and other special things. Its just that Newtonian and Eisteinian physics seem so obvious.

Your comment is awaiting moderation, it was just easier to go this route than to have those insane word verification boxes that are shockingly hard to read!

It should show up in the comments shortly, thank you for commenting!
