Apparently, the moderator has been "protecting" you by erasing
my posts whenever I write something that might hurt your feelings.

Doesn't that make you happy?

Well, if

\left(\frac{c}{c}\right)*c^3= \left(\frac{T}{T}\right)*c^3 where T=c

and the properties of logarithms allow the identity:

<br />
\left(\frac{T}{T}\right)*c^{3}=T*\left(\frac{c}{T}\right)^{\frac{\frac{3*\ln(c)}{\ln(T)}-1}{\frac{\ln(c)}{\ln(T)}-1}} where T\not=c

then clearly, those so called

"symmetric and substitution axioms of equality"

are neither self evident, nor always true.

Think about it. If we can't always substitute \left(\frac{c}{c}\right) for \left(\frac{T}{T}\right),
then we must conclude that \left(\frac{c}{c}\right)=\left(\frac{T}{T}\right) is not always true,
and that there do exist some identities in which \left(\frac{c}{c}\right)\not=\left(\frac{T}{T}\right)
which of course shakes the very foundations of mathematics.
x/x for x = any value except 0 is asking how many groups of x go into x the answer is always 1, so t/t=1=c/c even if t!=c the reason it doesn't work with 0 is because as wikipedia has shown a/0 = x with a=0 any number of groups of 0 can give you 0 so it can take on any value, and so the value is undefined.

Don, do you understand your mistake on this post yet?

Assuming you do, then you need to respond to post #533.

Of course I understand my "mistake".
I am using that "mistake" to illustrate
the flaws in our axioms, and
the flaws in your reasoning.

Now, here's a simple yes or no question.

Given the identity:

 <br />
\left(\frac{T}{T}\right)*c^{3}=T*\left(\frac{c}{T}\right)^{\frac{\frac{3*\ln(c)}{\ln(T)}-1}{\frac{\ln(c)}{\ln(T)}-1}}<br />

can we substitute \left(\frac{c}{c}\right) for \left(\frac{T}{T}\right) ?

Please, just answer yes or no
without any commentary whatsoever.

Thanks xilman,

I agree.

On a side note, and in case you are curious,
I did make some progress on that polygonal number counting function.
A good fellow named Lars Blomberg was able to determine
the actual count w(x) all the way to x=10^15. It took him about a month
on what he said was a "state of the art processor" but it was well worth it
because with that information, I was able to greatly improve
the counting function.

Our results are posted below, and if you would like to see what the
counting function looks like at this point, then I would be happy to
post that here as well. It's really quite interesting, and as you can see,
the accuracy is remarkable.

Now, here's a simple yes or no question.

Given the identity:

 <br />
\left(\frac{T}{T}\right)*c^{2}=T*\left(\frac{c}{T}\right)^{\frac{\frac{2*\ln(c)}{\ln(T)}-1}{\frac{\ln(c)}{\ln(T)}-1}}<br />

can we substitute \left(\frac{c}{c}\right) for \left(\frac{T}{T}\right) ?

Please, just answer yes or no
without any commentary whatsoever.
