This post is a reply to a previous thread that has become to old to
respond to. Due to lack of capability to access the internet, I was unable to reply when the thread was current. This post is also a reply to both posts that were made after I was unable to reply. Start reply: I will try to explain this in a way that even those that were brainwashed into believing in magic can understand. The exponentiation factor represents the number of times that a number is multiplied or divided by itself. Multiplication represented by a number and often referred to as raised to whatever power that coincides with said number. Division represented by a number preceded by a minus sign and often referred to as lowered to the power that coincides with said number. Which in turn means that when the exponentiation factor is represented by the number one then the number being raised to the first power is multiplied by itself once. Hence 2 (raised to) the first power is = 2 multiplied by itself once = 4, 6 (raised to) the first power = 6 multiplied by itself once = 36, 10 (raised to) the first power = 10 multiplied by itself once = 100. In turn this also means that when the exponentiation factor is represented by a 1 preceded with a minus sign (-1) that the number is divided by itself once. Hence 2 (lowered to) the first power (-1) = 2 divided by itself once = 1, 7 (lowered to) the first power (-1) = 7 divided by itself once = 1, etc. All numbers when divided by themselves once are equal to one. This is how real math works. Your equation is false as applied to exponentiation. Reciprocation applies to standard multiplication and division yes. It does not however apply to exponentiation. Meaning that yes, if you multiply a number by 10 the result will be ten times the original number and reciprocally if you divide a number by 10 the result will be one-tenth the original number. That also applies to numbers other than 10. Death to psychotronic weaponry. Religion is fraud. Pseudoscience is as bad as religion. James M. Vierling Jr. |
