Can 1=0 i have seen it on here before but how???

 

It's rubbish. That's what it is. It works out to the same crap that some fool on an MSN Group spouted to me about 0 being equal to infinity. I felt like being troublesome and went into one of those fringe science forums and decided to demolish some idiot who came up with a "Free Energy from the Ether" theory. His mathematical proof was based upon 1=0 and 0 equal to infinity, which can only happen when one confuses numbers with limits. Of course, if that were the case, just about all of mathematics goes out the window and you can "prove" any bizarre theory of physics. After all, when you can use 1=0 and 0 equals infinity to define any number as having a totally variable value, you can do what you want, right?
