Better reason why Terrece D Howard claims: 1x1=2 : Decay Theory Cosmology Africa


American Actor, investor, physicist and philanthropist Terrece D Howard claims to have developed a physics theory of  everything.

In his statement he makes many claims which he says are already patented in his name. 

The most controversial of all, is his claim that 1x1 is not 1 but 2. 

Many mathematicians have rebutted him on this claim and he still continues to claim that time has come for the world to begin appreciating better formulas.

A closer look at this claim, shows that Howard is both right and wrong.

He is right because he says, in a physical sense, combining two separate entities is similar to multiplying entities.

So, if two separate entities are combined they make two objects which means 1x1 could be 2.

There more than one ways, to defend Howard. 

In computer logic for example, 1x1 is not 1 but 2. This is  done because the symbol + is not used to represent addition but something else.

So 1x1, the symbol x represents the tradition additional symbol +  but this doesnot change the operand add.

This scenario could be used to defend Howard, however it appears that's not his intention.

He intends to completely rewrite the operand + .

During an interview Howard said, if an object is divided out once, it becomes two pieces which is just another way of representing multiplication 

Cell division is sometimes referred to as a cell multiplication.

However the implication of this suggestion is that the whole mathematics would need to be redesigned.

If 1x1 =2 it means and 4x4 equals 8 NOT 16.

Perhaps Howards wants to say, this appeals to 1 only. But Mathematical operands cannot be applied in isolation. An operand shall have to work in the same way in every scenario.

So 1x2 has to be 3 not 2,  3x3 has to be 6 not 9.

In the end, we have not changed anything other than the operand alone. So it may mean X would be used both as a multiplication operand and addition, which means, we have just substituted the + symbol.

In a nutshell this means nothing at all.

Otherwise, Howard needs to dig deeper and present better examples for his case.

In most Computer Logic 1x1 is 2 but the symbol x is just used in place of +, the operand mechanics is the same. And X as multiplication symbol is replaced by *.

So it doesnot change anything.
