... In this post I will use the ^ to represent raised to whatever power follows it. Logically one can not say that 10^0 is equal to zero, Who is claiming that 10^0 is equal to zero??? 10^1 is equal to one and then 10^2 is equal to one hundred. That would be saying that 10^0 means 10 times zero and that 10^1 means ten times one then jumping to 10^2 means ten times ten. That is illogical. What the math should actually be is 10^0 = 10 and 10^1 = 100 then 10^2 = 1000. The power symbol would then represent how many times the number is multiplied by itself. This then would be logical. Using this logic then would also mean that 10^-1 (ten to the negative first power) = 1. As the power symbol would then represent how many times the number is divided by itself. Again this would be logical. Maybe this will also help to wipe out some of the pseudoscientific claims. Death to psychotronic weaponry. Religion is fraud. James M. Vierling Jr. P.S. That factorial crap is nonsense. |
