Prove to me that 2+2 does not = 4

We don't use perfect circles when we make things. Pretty simple, really.

String theory.

Math is generally referred to as an "Objective Truth" in science.
Objective meaning.."absolute" in its existence or beginning.
By faith alone..numbers used to determine the results of simple equations are assumed to be 100 percent constant. "Constant" meaning..they represent "absolute" values...and are not subject to change.

There are some, however, who believe that everything in life is made up of "Relative Truths." Relative meaning..everything is subject to change, and truth is dependant upon an individual's circumstances/views.

Those of you who believe in "Relative Truths." Please provide for me an explanation..as to how the mathmetical equation.

2 + 2 = 4

Is a relative truth.

**You may not make any "absolute" arguments to prove this relative truth, doing such.. would be contradictory to your position.

It's all just in our imagination. Maybe we're just having a collective thought of all of this math thing and its not really true, it just became truth because everyone is having the same relative truth all at the same time, and that's what made it true, even if it isn't.

Sometimes they are. Only when God defines them to be that way though 😉

Ow... that hurts just thinking about it...

people say that about my thoughts a lot. 😖

in speed 2+2 could= anything

2+2=22

Numbers are social constructs. The very word two is one which we have created out of thin air. There is no reason why 2 + 2 should equal 4 anymore than fish + fish should equal 4. The number itself has no basis in fact.

2+2=10... in base 4!

yeah if u really think about it...2+2 COULD VERY WELL= 5

Now this way of thinking is based on if u believe in the power of 2=1 whole

2+2 = 2 1 digit plus 1 digit = 2 digits

it depends what the symbol of 2 and 4 means to the individual and if it is the same all over the world.

lets say i am from another part of the world where i was taught the number 2 symbol actually represents 3 but so it would be from my perspective

3+3=6

or one could simply have some form of autistic problem or brain wiring issues that skews what he sees and gives him a different answer each time he tries to solve for it.

A Seed and 3 cups soil= One plant

lol this reminds me of the book "1984"

It reminds me of the movie Pi.

What's that movie about?

This mathematician who is trying to discover a number that will unlock the pattern of the universe.

Sounds interesting I will have to rent it.Thanks.

that one there
and that one there
plus

now you can't argue with that one 😛
