Do a youtube search for
Number pile 1-1+1-1. You'll need to understand that for the main part
Number pile 1+2+3+4...=-1/12. They can explain it better than I can.

I'm preeeeeeeety sure it doesn't take an expert in string theory to know that
1-1+1-1=0 and infinity=infinity. -1/12 does not equal infinity. What is this, Algebra 1?

Hmm... How does adding an infinite number of positive integers result in a negative integer? Think of a number line. Basic Math. Kinda seems like manipulation to get the -1/12.

Seems like more of a physics viewpoint than mathematical. Things get crazy in the quantum field.

Mind-blowing fact: You have more atoms in your eye than the number of stars in the known universe.

Ok, so I watched the video and I hereby issue my verdict. An infinite problem will have an infinite answer, anywhere you stop that sequence will give you the sum of all the numbers, but if you keep going to infinity...
You get infinity. For the first two sequences, he averaged the two possible sums to get his answer? That may work in physics, where you always need a real, definite answer, but the math just doesn't work. The sum of that problem can't ever be 1/2 it must be either 1 or 0, 1/2 will never be the answer, it is just the average of the two exact answers. Essentially what I'm saying is this, in math, where imaginary and complex numbers exist, this just doesn't ever add up. I'll be sure to change my mind when I put infinity into my TI-89 silver and it tells me -1/12

No more Math please?

No more Math please?

Let me tell you how to fix that; rub some bacon on it. (Correct use of a semicolon FTW)

How about :

Bacon strip + Bacon Strip - Bacon Strip + Bacon Strip - Bacon Strip +Bacon Strip = 1/12 Bacon Strip?

Make math more delicious

How about :

Bacon strip + Bacon Strip - Bacon Strip + Bacon Strip - Bacon Strip +Bacon Strip = 1/12 Bacon Strip?

Make math more delicious

but.. That's two bacon strips... And if I were there, it would be 0 bacon strips..

Mmm... Now I'm making a big breakfast before work tomorrow.

Lol. Yay! I made math fun!

But if you count every decimal number between 0 and 1, you will never reach one...

How about Common Core?

how is the infinite specificity of decimals relevant? the only two answers to 1-1+1-1+1-1... are 1 or 0, infinite is less a rule, and more a theory.

The answer is Bacon. It always is.
