What? No response? Have we finally put this to bed?

ahhh .. Jinx!

Let's take another look.

Before we do that,
do we now agree that my proof,
which can be found here:

does not contain the expression (0/0)?

Don.

Assuming you did not modify your proof as I suggested, then no. You need to modify the preconditions of your proof to state that c != T. If you do that, then I will agree with your statement.

If c != T, then clearly, (T/T) != (c/c).

Are you kidding me? I've stayed out of a thread I mostly don't understand, but that's clearly wrong. (T/T) = (c/c) unless T = 0 or c = 0. (I hope you're being sarcastic, but unfortunately, I'm really bad at it, especially on the blogotubes.)

If 2 $\ne$ 3, then clearly (3/3) $\ne$ (2/2).
Did I get this right?

The foundations of mathematics are its axioms,

which are defined as "self evident truths".

Consider the "symmetric axiom of equality"

which states that if $c=T$ , then $T=c$

and the "substitution axiom of equality"
which states that we can always substitute $\left(\frac{c}{c}\right)$ for $\left(\frac{T}{T}\right)$ .

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.

Don, something is really wrong with you: you forgot to say "don't you feel happy about it?" or something like that...

I think he says "doesn't that make you happy?"
